We couldn't be happier with ours. The layout great. The ammendities and the color scheme for the price is better than our house. Lol

Here's ours. Brand new, maiden voyage this weekend:





I think I'm going to need air bags:




Will bags fit under a B&W turnover hitch?

Haven't weighed it "full", empty pin is just over 2K. I'm guessing today's loaded pin was ~2500.

You have to get the kit specific to having that hitch. I think that's the kit I installed on mine because they mount inboard of the frame rails using brackets so it does not interfere with the hitch side plates. I have an Airlift 5000 kit. Definitely night and day difference.

Very nice slim! The two most popular airbag kits (Airlift & Firestone) the bags sit on the bottom of the framerail. I don't recall anybody having fitment issues, and the B & W is very common.

Thanks! I do not have any interior pictures at the moment. It is still closed up from the winter. The door you see is for the rear half bathroom. There is a door on the other side for normal entry.

Here is a floorpan from their web sight.
