The trailer body supports two slideouts. The first houses the kitchen and the dinette right in the busy center of the unit offering up the most floor space possible in this high-traffic area. The second moves the one wall (and two bunks) out in the rear bunkhouse, which incidentally has a hard door. With both slides open, a standard nuclear family has lots of space—and if you do want to stretch your accommodations with more overnight invitations, it’s still going to be okay. As I mentioned, the trailer will sleep 10—a couple in the front master bedroom, four kids (though they could be adults) in the rear bunkhouse and two each on the fold-down dinette and the adjacent hide-a-bed couch. Not saying you’d want this many bedded down every night—but it’s good to know you can do it if the need should arise. With this many people potentially rising together and demanding to be fed, it’s also good to know you have two kitchens available. The inside kitchen has a nice sized counter, if you include the covers over the double sink (which can be split). The three-burner stove top is pretty standard, but it does come with an oven below and a microwave above including the power exhaust vent. Two things I liked here were the window behind the sink and the wipeable backsplash behind the stove top. The two-
door refrigerator to the left is large and the separate freezer offers a bit more space than a single-door model. For sitting / eating the four-place dinette seems underwhelming—but if you factor in the seating on the couch you could accommodate eight. The second kitchen is outside, behind (then under when flipped up) a spring-loaded door that reveals a large bar fridge, sink with pumped water, counter with two drawers below, and a pull-out two-burner gas camp stove. Obviously these two cooking centers can be used simultaneously or separately as needed. The 18-foot power awing is a good feature—it will cover a lot of dining space outside. The other area in a trailer like this that will be heavily used is the bathroom. Coachmen has anticipated this traffic by allocating a decent-sized space to this need. For example, the roomy shower includes a half-tub and enough space outside for an adult to comfortably kneel while scrubbing a little kid after a day of rolling in the mud. The sink is built into an oversize counter that has a large towel shelf under it—in addition to the medicine cabinet above and the below sink cupboard. Of course there is a powered fan, skylight, and a lockable hard door. All important things for keeping the peace in a crowded trailer.
