Wow thank you endalby that is really helpful -
Two things duly noted - I'm sure I'll end up replacing the faucet too and will probably PM you in the future about your pantry project
Yep I'm with you I'll be planning on good solar and a genset. My wife and I can be "power responsible" but like you said someone will probably leave the lights on :)
I"ll definitely want the awning !
Maybe the dimensions I saw were box width. Or I was mixing up 1191 and 1131 dimensions and there was a change between the two. Or this article is wrong; it says 72" on the dinette:

Next time you're in yours would you mind putting a tape measure to it?
Thanks!

... Also it took one trip for me to replace the facet in the bathroom sink; it was worthless because you couldn't get one hand under it....
.... If I can travel with 3 girls for more than 30 days at a time and have no storage issues anyone can do it. ... Only caveat is the pantry; I ripped out the POS sliding system that it came with and built my own shelving system. By doing that I increase capacity by over 500%. ...

... A lot of people disagree but I like the onboard generator to charge things. The solar panels are also a must have IMO; it is great a keeping the batteries topped up and charge during the day. I have never had an issue with dead batteries and my daughters hate to turn off lights for some reason.

With 4 people the camper can feel cramped but we are only in the camper together during bad weather or to sleep. Of course I highly recommend the awning so you can be outside sipping a beverage in the rain when everyone else is inside (or maybe that is how I hide from 3 girls perhaps). PM me for direct questions or if you want a picture of something specific....

Last but not least as for the beds and tent being 6ft I don't think that is accurate. Maybe 5'6" at most (that maybe optimistic). ....
