Very nice rolling home! It had tons of storage based on the den and the bedroom being elevated. Enjoy the journey and the destination, that is what RV'ing is all about.
Was the show helpful for you ??

I agree. Most dinettes seemed to be designed for the height and breadth impaired. But that shower stall .......

BeaverCrap, our TH is the same as yours from the bunkhouse door forward and we really like it. The spin around TV is great, I've added a few extra holes to pin it in an angled position for better viewing from the couch. Enjoy your new trailer!

Thanks man!! Shower stall is ok...I'm 6' 220 and it didn't look like I was going to have an issue.....you should have seen the shower in my Nomad hybrid travel trailer... the ceiling throughout that camper was 6' so you can imagine when I stepped up into the shower tub how crunched I was...not the case with the Puma shower..

Sounds as though you have at least tried it for size. The one in our '14 Montana isn't much bigger and once you get swinging your elbows trying to wash nether places............... and I'm 6'4" and somewhere past that 200 pound mark. A skylight does help with headroom but is also another maintenance item as they do crack/leak

We have one of these for our trailer and it makes a world of difference. When the shower is not in use then the rod is curved into the shower well out of the way. When the shower is in use then it is curved into the bathroom area allowing much more room.

I call this sort of thing a space multiplier.

Haha yes I certainly get in that tub and check the clearance.... It should be good to go..... I used to hit my head on the dome lights of our Nomad everywhere in the camper!! Man that was annoying!
