Manufacturers offering Barrel Ceilings?

My husband is really hooked on the extra height that the barrel (or cathedral or domed, whatever they call it) ceilings give in some TTs. We have found several floor plans that we really like, but the ones that fit our specs dont seem to offer that ceiling feature.

Does anyone know which manufacturers and which lines from those manufacturers are offering that? Any help would be appreciated...thanks!
  • Northwood MFG (Arctic Fox, Nash, Fox Mountain)
    ORV (aka, Outdoors RV) which is a sister company to Northwood

    All are built in LaGrande, OR.
  • "Vaulted" or "arched" ceilings. Our KZ Spree has one. Also Jayco and Outdoors RV and probably many others. I wouldn't own a TT now if it didn't have a vaulted ceiling. Does make it seem more spacious for sure. Won't be quite as well insulated though because the roof trusses taper down to almost nothing at the outer edges.
  • Grand Design and some Forest River products like the Surveyor have them.
  • our first TT was 33ft, flat ceiling. current TT is 37ft and has a "slightly domed" ceiling which is what i assume you are referring to. it does have a more spacious feel to it.

    the manufacturer (keystone model Laredo 330rl) gets slammed quite often for quality of workmanship. 9 months into owning it we have had zero problems but i do the maintenance on it myself. monthly roof inspections etc. etc

    its a 2019 model. check out the floor plan. 3 slides, large shower rear living.

    need a 3/4 ton to tow comfortably. ours averages 9500 to 10k lbs loaded for the road. my truck is a ford f250 gasser
