Our favorite floorplan so far!

Cool little unit, looks perfect for you from you have have described. Go get it!

: ) We are excited, but we still need to do the sniff test and feel the actual space. Cannot get away till next week to go look. I have some work deadlines to meet.

You just have to buy the trays that slide in and out of the dinette, mine came with them. Also not shown you should have a lot of storage under the bed.

Neat! That will save some work!

Where do you store your towels???

The cons of this unit as we see so far, is that the bathroom vanity has no counter space and the toilet area is a bit tight.

As is typically the case with most smaller travel trailers; even the larger ones don't devote that much space to the bath area.

If ample space/storage is what you're seeking, a fifth wheels offers more of both. But the TV you plan to use definitely isn't towing one of them.

Couple issues I see are, what access do you have when the slides are in? No storage in the bathroom for towels, TP, etc, and with just a booth dinette to sit on your sitting time will be limited. Never sat on a booth cushion that didn't sag to the plywood after 30 mins. If that's your only sitting area then you will want to either upgrade the foam in the cushions or remove the booth dinette and replace it with a wall hugger reclining sofa. You will lose some storage under that dinette though. I'm not sure you could full time in it. If your towing it with a truck and it has a canopy you could use the truck for some of the storage. Full timing requires a lot more supplies than just heading out for a few weeks. You need to figure out how much stuff you use at home in a month and that's what you need out traveling also.
JMHO but I would look for something a tad bigger. One with a slide with a sofa and on the other side a booth or free standing dinette. Also one with some storage in the bathroom for towels, hair dryer, TP, cleaning products, etc.

As an example this would be more accustomed to full timing if you're wanting a TT and not too long.http://www.northwoodmfg.com/index.php?page=model&make=arctic&id=1057

Not pushing Arctic Fox but using them as an example. You will want a solid unit with 4 season construction. There are others out there as well.

That artic fox is super nice!! Love the reclining sofas! How long is the box?

It's an interesting layout, but will you have places for chairs ?

As has been stated, the foam in the dinette seat cushions sags out pretty quick, and for me, the dinette is too upright of a position to be comfortable for long.
However, some folks like sitting at a table to relax, so it could work for them okay.
Others will say that they don't need a good place to sit inside, because when they go camping, they sit outside most of the time. I sit out when the weather is nice, but I also like to travel when it it either cold, hot or wet....so I value having comfortable indoor seating.

For my use, having that sink as an island is a waste of floor space right where I need it most, but then that's a personal pref.

That trailer is going to weigh in the neighborhood of 5500 to 5900 pounds ready to roll,( unless you are in Canada....they have different gravity there.....joke, joke....don't get all crazy on me, my good friends from up north... :) ) so bear that in mind when thinking about a tow vehicle. That pretty much puts you in the large SUV or pickup truck range for towing, in my opinion.

A hybrid is a curious choice for full-timing which I believe you are planning on doing. I'd want 4 solid walls and a ceiling if I was planning on living in it.

I think she is actually looking at the hard sided floorplan that is in this link:

....those links above were kind of confusing the way they came up.
