I'm curious about the tongue configuration. How does the generator box fit in? Based on the photos on their website, I don't see where you can attach your preferred wd hitch either. Looks to me like the fiberglass cover goes a LONG way forward on it.
I'm also curious how roomy the restroom/shower is. Don't want to go into too much detail, but I wouldn't appreciate having to wedge myself into a corner to do my business.
Just how well insulated is it?
And last but not least, I'm curious how comfy those cushions that make into a bed are.

BillyW, I was told that the frame configuration is an improvement upon the standard A-Frame trailer. See pic of A-Frame improvement above.
The trailer can be configured to host a generator but said generator must find its home in an aluminum utility box that is attached to the tongue in front of the propane tanks. I’m told some people choose to go with (2) 2000W generators as opposed to one because they weigh less, making them easier to lift. This facilitates the ability to lock them in the trailer while you’re away. This sounds logical but, as a practical matter, I probably would not do so, inviting a self-imposed security risk, if truth be told. Have any of you folks had generators “liberated” in similar circumstances? They also told me there is a third-party manufacturer that has designed a receptacle that attaches the generator to a solid steel plate that supposedly deters theft. You guys would have a better idea than I about the logistics of such strategies.
Billy, the toilet area looked plenty roomy to me. I thought my 73 year old mother would be taken aback by the “wet bath” but she reminded me we had seen the same thing in hotel rooms in Italy and declared it quaint, innovative and charming. The wet bath is not a deal breaker for me but I don’t especially like having to pull a shower spigot from the sink. For some reason, or other, I found myself wishing there was a dedicated fixture? It just seems that the single faucet would receive a lot of wear & tear as it travels back and forth? Again, I defer to RV.net members to verify that theory?
Speaking of “doing your business”, I observed that the storage for the waste hose is within very close proximity of the place to connect it to the dump valve. As a matter of fact, you could, if desired, stow & stay connected to the coach at the same time. I have no idea if this is a good idea or a bad one? See pic.
The trailer is rated at R16. The ceiling is no different from the walls -- it’s all R16. The cavity in-between the two fiberglass shells is not heated, specifically, but is kept warm by the proximity of the heater. Heat blankets for the tanks can be ordered & installed ahead of time.
And last but not least, BillyW, I’m glad you asked about the cushions. The standard configuration calls for 4 inches of foam encased in something that looks like a standard mattress cover material. The upgraded version adds another 2 inches of foam. Mom & I both thought it was comfortable enough but how long would that last? I’m told you can get a mattress made for RVs but I’m wondering how much weight that would add to the coach? And I'm wondering if it would take up much of your coveted cargo carrying capacity? One would have to “do the math” based upon your specific configuration, I should think?
