It sounds like a full time unit would work well for you.
1.) Right...I've heard a lot of people say they took out the RV mattress and went with a residential one instead.
2.) Hmmmm....I believe I have seen what you described. Would this work for you? (scroll through the images to the bathroom. This sucker is roomy-I've seen it in person:Cyclone King 4100
4.) I have heard a lot of people mention awkward neck positions to watch TV. My idea is to keep the TV in the garage on the wall in front of the bunks and chaise lounges. Since I don't actually plan on watching TV unless it's pouring rain or something, it's not a biggie to me.
5.)That would be a bit too heavy for our TV.
Yeah, I'm leaning toward the snowbird thing, and being able to take my HD with me.
I actually like the CY4000 Elite floorplan better, but 44' is huge. They could chop 2' off the garage, but that would still be huge. At 18k GVWR, definitely have to go diesel, min 1T, dually TV, if not MDT.
I know a few manufacturers used to offer a side loading model (6'? garage), but I don't see those anymore. I suspect they might have had issues loading cruiser bikes without a beavertail. I also wasn't that thrilled with their floorplans.
I like the look of LQ units, especially like
Work and Play 34RLS, but I really want a standup bedroom. I've gone the TC route pulling a cargo trailer, and it worked well for occasional use. However, it got to be a pain climbing into bed. Not to mention the bathroom, quite frankly, sucked. I must be getting old...
I might be willing to pull the trigger on an Elite anyway, but I can't find a dealer with one on the lot to butt test within a reasonable drive. Might have to take some vacation and make a road trip. I'm thinking going directly to the factory might be the best option. Anybody been to the factory, and if so, are they receptive to meddling, prospective buyers?
On edit: Last night I did some surfing and found a dealer in the Buffalo area with a CY4000 Elite. Looks like we might pay them a visit in the near future.
