Ty Greg!

I have followed Alliance since they first came out with them. I'm glad to see Bish is involved with them. The Ally family is real! I ran across a small group of campers boondocking in SD, while I was horsecamping and trail riding in the area. They had all met at an Alliance rally and started traveling together. It was pretty cool!

Point to ponder as to what the builder was thinking. At 5:30, you can see the kitchen sink counter area is almost directly up against the recliners. I don’t know about anyone else but when I am washing dishes water gets everywhere. I would think that would be a good place for a small backsplash just to keep things on the countertop and not falling on the couches.

Wow nice! Beautiful RV. Massive though. I'm not a 5th wheel fan, it just isn't the kind of RV that I prefer. I don't usually watch 5th wheel videos, they are generally the same layout to me. Not this one. This is a great layout. It really does feel like a home, it just needs the personal touch. And an area rug. I love the vanity in the bathroom. 1 sink in the center with plenty of space on either side. The duel windows and medicine cabinet placement is beautiful, very pleasing to the eye.

A few things we didn't think we would like or use but we actually do... The cubby in the bedroom works well for a weather radio and an iPad charging place. The closet clothes hamper actually is nice to have. And, the corner garbage door in the kitchen is actually handy. We found a very tall and skinny trash can on Amazon and it takes 30 gallon trash bags. I find myself only having to dump trash a couple of times a week. I am curious (and concerned) about that space in the winter when it gets cold. We'll see what happens, but overall those odd features are pretty great.

Amazing RV. Though I would like to see a desk where the door-side sofa is. Front bath is phenomenal with the nose walk-in closet. The Integrated laundry hamper is just the chef's kiss. Also a you delivered a good bit of knowledge about the ducted vs direct AC units. Makes me wonder if the RV industry might someday adopt a micro-split AC system. The Compressor/Condenser unit could be low profile in the belly (like some bus body ACs are) with ceiling cassettes inside. You'd get the performance of direct fire plus quieter operation of a ducted system. You'd also end up with a lower roof profile.

Ok, I get the half bath; it's fine, but if any guests need a shower, they're either going to have to hookup outside or go through the very private space of the bedroom. I keep seeing that on RVs - like the islands which I hate - and it baffles me. The bedroom is (to me, anyway) the most private of spaces (unless you're in a studio apartment or something, you know?). Maybe it's just me, but that would be a deal breaker for me - heck, I wouldn't even want family members going through my bedroom for a shower every day on a camping trip.
