Thank's for the great write up on your new RV. We have been given my sisters 23U. She did a lot of work on it: Auto levelers, Solar panels (2), Satellite TV, full time back up camera, and a few other minor tweaks. She is a good rig, easy to drive, turn and backup.
There are only the two of us and Ginger, our 20 lbs Aussie Terrier, so the limited space is not too much of an issue. Although, when we travel with another couple, you better be friendly! We are!
The big storage space is a huge bonus and we rarely fill it close to capacity. We don't even fill up the storage space within the coach. The spaces above the dinette are empty and we offer that space to company. We rarely need more than a few outfits, snacks, drinks and stuff for the grill to head out for a week, or a weekend!
Overall, my sister Robin equipped The Bettye to be a lean travel companion! Thank You Ms. Surf Robin! We Love you and miss you always!
