All information as provided by the current owner:

Why did you select this model? Our driveway restrictions at the time meant it had to be 25ft or less. We have one child. We wanted the sofa bed in the window so he could sleep in and we could still sit at the dinette and have our morning coffee without waking him. We also liked that he could use the large pull out table for games without impacting my ability to make or serve meals.

All work, all have keys, including the fresh water fill. We have also added stainless bug guards to the appliance vent covers and changed out the outdoor light to LED.

All the sliders have knobs and operate, occasionally a bit stiff. One screen has been replaced. Windows are tinted (solar gray) and there is a full solar/stone guard over the front wraparound window.

It has a lot of storage. It is in good, clean, serviceable condition. It has the aluminum interior, wrap around window at the front and fully opening windows. Aluminum blinds and beige curtains. No known repairs required. Some cosmetic repairs have been done and a couple of appliances replaced. Sleeping Areas: Six average sized humans as three doubles.

Works great for a family with two kids (or more if they’re small) Mattress and Sleeping Surfaces: Main corner bed mattress (sprung) appears to be original. It is soft and comfortable, used with a waterproof cover. Some of the edging on the mattress is pulling away from where it has been grabbed to try and change the sheets. The sofa folds flat and has good support, Also has been used by use with a waterproof cover. The dinette is a bit on the soft side as the cushions are soft. If they were replaced it would have better support. Dinette Style and Location: Dinette is on the side. It seats four. 42″x76″ when down. The table folds down to create a good sized bed (two people are cozy, one is comfortable) We replaced the dinette table leg after it broke with a new style folding leg. The table has a few marks on the formica that we’ve been unable to remove. The pull out table next to the sofa is in mint condition.

Interior Hard Surfaces: Walls, Counters, Doors: The walls are aluminum, not mouse fur. it is in great shape. There is some vinyl wallpaper in the bathroom that is rippled and slightly peeling. The finishes are “midnight sun” for the dinette cushions and “tropical oak” for the wood finish cabinets and graphite colored counters (they were white as standard). Cabinets are all in good shape, no peeling. Interiors have some marks on the formica from items shifting around. Cabinets, Doors, and Counters: We have had some of the peeling formica edges re-glued. All cabinet boxes are sound. The cabinets and doors are all in great condition with all latches working. The Euro hinges need some adjustments. There is limited countertop space. It is formica. There is a flip up extra countertop by the door. Mirrored medicine cabinet and flip up door. Additional flip down shelf in bedroom area with mirror by additional TV point.

Shower head and hose replaced in 2019 to include shut off button for water saving. Original Thetford toilet in good condition, flapper/seals lubed with Thetford products. Has towel rails. Pull out shower ‘screen door’ in great condition. We really like the fact that the shower has a deep >6″ rim which allows it to be used as small ‘kid bath’, for cleaning dogs, or feet etc. Also the seat in the shower (where the tank is) is really useful. There is an exhaust fan in the bathroom.
