Help a newbie choose
Greetings,
I'm looking at getting a used B, for me and my dog, to use for some road trips, and sometimes daily driver. One thing I want seems to make the search extra difficult: I'd like to have a clear aisle all the way to the back door(s), so that I could slide in the longest kayak possible, on its side. I haven't seen a B in person, to measure, yet, but, I expect there's potentially room for a 14-foot kayak, with a clear aisle. I would appreciate tips on what models to keep an eye out for.
And, another, related question... I have noted that a lot of the Coachmen/Falcon/Airstream type units place a toilet back by the doors, often on a pedestal (presumably the holding tank), which blocks the aisle. So, I wonder -- if a person was willing to do without the installed toilet (and use a camp toilet and/or campground toilets), can these be removed relatively easily? Or, better, removed, and the shower potentially replaced with one that has the toilet IN the shower?
Thanks much!
Edit: Well, I have been to a couple of RV shows in the past 10 years; I just haven't seen any Bs since deciding I want one. Nor have I seen any of the candidate older models. I don't live where there's much browsing available.
