5 things I love
-Drive-ability, I think our motorhome handles great. I can drive it 15 hours without a problem, just like I do the car.
-Good amount of space. With 2 slides, the motorhome doesn't feel small inside.
-Lots of cabinet space in the kitchen and dining room.
-Plenty of sleeping space. We can easily sleep 6 adults and 4 kids - 2 on the queen bed, 2 on the cabover bed and one on each bunk and the kids can have the sofa bed and the fold down dinette.
-Power awnings and steps. I wasn't too keen on the power awning when we first got it, but after a couple years, I have really grown to appreciate it.
5 things I don't
-Small gas tank, low mileage means stopping more than I'd like to, to refuel. It would be great if the motorhome came with a 100 gallon tank. I could easily drive 400 miles without stopping, but the 55 gallon tanks makes me stop about 100 miles sooner.
-Small awning. Our awning is only 11 feet long. About 2 feet is to the left of the door, leaving about 6.5 feet to the right of the door. Can't do much living in that small space. It would be nice if the awning went the full length of the motorhome.
-Fridge and Freezer is too small for full-time living. We started camping seasonally - 800 miles from home - and could definitely use a larger Fridge and Freezer.
-It's not really comfortable for full time living. Being stuck in the camper when it rains or for whatever reason is not so great. The sofa isn't that comfy and with 4 of us trying to use the dining/living room, it gets tight.
-The bunks on the bedroom slide are too narrow at 28". Both our kids stopped sleeping on the bunks. I ended making the bottom bunk wider, but can't really do that with the top bunk.
We love our motorhome, but it definitely isn't ideal for living in it for long periods of time.
