hello,
I don't know the year of the model you looked at and if this is for camping only or full-timing. I looked at the 2013 model and if this model is for camping, it does indeed have a good floorplan similar to one we looked at *keystone model*.
some considerations:
- power .. It's either 30 amps or 50 amps. If it's 30 amps then as long as you know that you might have to power manage what appliances you run to avoid tripping your power. If it's 50 amps then you are good.
- Bathroom, the toilet area looked cramped as you said your 6'3. did you go in and see if your comfortable? if your ok with it then its good.
- I believe the bedroom area might be tight with the area between the living room wall and bed. since the slide out is not in the bedroom.
- If your camping, the 2 20# lp btls will be ok, if your full-timing i'd rather have 2 30# lp btls.
- a/c Was it running when you looked at it? if not, run it to see if your are comfortable with it. as I believe your model comes with the 13k a/c.
- whether this model or another one, look under, on top, and around, rust, sealants, no visible worn/tear, damage etc. tires are good/current (year if possible). also know your trailer tire ratings D/E etc. like the trucks.
lots of info and I'm sure some other members will input their value into this. good luck and ask again.
