We have an 06 LXE (Basically a Classic with all the bells and whistles. If your DW wakes up 3 times a night to relieve herself then a cassette toilet is the only way to go. If you like to boondock the shower is a worthwhile addition too. We have pull ours with a 4 cyl car for 40,000+ miles with no sway control or WDH - none needed. The insulation is great, taking less BTUs to heat and cool. Oor 5,000 BTU AC runs on a little 1,200 watt generator. It's quieter inside and out too. There's little floorspace inside, (lots of headroom though so it never feels claustrophobic) with our king bed, shower and all the amenities taking up floorspace. I recommend it for couples only. But on the upside, it's nice to sit on the edge of your bed and cook breakfast, and the bathroom is only a couple steps away for those late night emergencies.
We love ours as the only full-featured hard side camper that can be towed with a 4 cyl car, getting mid 20's MPG towing and mid 30's MPG when not. I now have 265,000 miles on my little car, but it's still going strong (I guess towing my Aliner with it didn't wear it out prematurely as some might have thought)- though we did buy a truck to tow with now to give our little, aging Chevy Cobalt a break - put out to pasture so to speak.
