It's been a while since I've been to a RV show. O M Goodness, I thought Prevost and Newell DPs were the only ones on the heavy side with 365/70/22.5 tires... NOT. There were even Newmar Dutch Stars with 365s, not just the Mountain Airs with 365s. 54,000 GVWR and 8K of CCC = 46,000 dry weight with a front axle pushing 20K lbs. The pressure needed for the 365s on the front was listed at 125 psi, the 315s on the drive at 85, and the tag at 115. At least Tiffin has moved the fuel tank to in front of the drive axle letting them use 305s all the way around.
The majority of the big rigs were bath and a half which I do not understand taking up that much area for something we do not use that much... different strokes for...... There were also too many with not only dark exteriors but dark interiors... not that I'm looking to buy plus the show prices were all $400K or more.
I might say that with our 1 1/2 bath, that rear main bath area also contains most of the cabinetry for our clothes and the laundry basket, as well, so once inside, you can complete the process of showering and changing without coming back out into the bedroom. It also doubles as the laundry room, so this large space is not only needed, but most welcome and would be a deal breaker without it. Not only that, if someone else should have a need, there's another one in the hall. DW also likes having her own overhead cabinet and is up early doing things in the galley, while the BR door remains shut.
I think soon, all large coach sales, will be predominately 1 1/2 or two full baths. I've even seen gas puller's, under 40ft, with two full baths.
