Hi--we have a '97 170 and love it. Think you might find it small and confining as your husband is tall. He would have no problem standing and there is a true 74" crosswise for sleeping, but he will be conscious of the walls at his head and feet. We spend our summers in the Poconos, but have left for our winter in Florida. We would be happy to show ours off and if your timetable allows it, maybe we can next season. By the way, we use our RT as our daily driver. Have gotten 18mpg on the highway and usually get about 15mpg with the Dodge 5.2L engine. If you have questions or would like to talk, PM me.
