Title: front living room toyhauler

I toured this one at the show and if there were ever one to make me think about spending that much money on a camper this would be the one!! I talked to the rep and he said if we stripped the back bed room of the murphy bed, sliding glass doors to the deck, the entertainment center, fire place and all the crap that was in the way including the slide to fit real toy like a rail in it would shave apprx 2500 lbs off the unit and that was factoring in 2' longer for a 14' room. I asked why they didn't just make the queen bed come down off the ceiling like so many others but the murphy bed is geared for those that want it to look like home I guess. nicest one on the market imo!! as far as layout goes that is

Watch this one. Eliminates the ball as the pivot, moves more like a Watts linkage.
