We are old folks who are selling the farm and looking forward to lighter and easier living mostly in established parks. We want a 35-39 foot quality 5th wheel that does not require a semi to tow. We have a list of wants and needs that are negotiable but one thing that is not is interior ceilings that will accomodate my 6'4". We have spec'd K-Z Durango Gold (max 6'4"), Grand Design Solitude and DRV Mobile Suite (specs not listed), Luxe Ambition, Jayco North Point, and Keystone Montana and none seem to qualify based either on specs and/or bad quality reviews.I hate to be limited to either a Spacecraft or a New Horizon Summit which are truly custom built and therefore really expensive.I would appreciate comments and suggestions from those of you who who have faced a similar problem.Thank you, Mike

... K-Z Durango Gold, Grand Design Solitude and DRV Mobile Suite, Luxe Ambition, Jayco North Point, and Keystone Montana ...Don't let bad "reviews" dictate your decision. Go and look at the units yourself and then YOU decide. There are exceptional ones and then sometimes a lemon produced from the same plant, on the same day, and go out the assembly line, side by side. For ever 'bad' review, there are hundreds or even thousands of "good" reviews that never get written.Go, evaluate yourself. Find the model that meets your criteria, then go to that manufacturer's flagship forum and read up from real owners, not 2nd or 3rd hand stories about someone else's experience.

My son is 6'7" and had no problem in the living room and kitchen of the Big Horn 3055RL we used to own. He had to bend a bit in the bedroom. He has plenty of headroom in the motorhome we how have.

I was in a crossroads cameo that the inside of the slides was even near 7' high. Check those.

I am a little over 6'4". We have a 2007 Montana. I can walk straight upright until I get half way across the bedroom going toward the front of the trailer. But the only time I go farther is going to bed anyway. Newer models have more headroom. But the only way to know for sure is to visit dealers or shows with models of interest and walk thru them. I remember walking thru one 5er (don't remember brand) at an RV show that seemed to have lots of headroom in the bedroom. But they had placed the TV antenna handle right where you walk. Had to duck to get around it.

At 5' 6" in my shoes, I just cannot understand what y'all are talking about!LOLI just wish I could find a pair of pants that fits. Now THAT is a problem worth talking about.-Speak
