1. Keeps you out of the bedroom if someone is taking a shower - we do a lot of group camping as well as have growing boys.
2. Many have the sink right next to the bed - I simply do not like this - even hate it.
3. Would like to keep the bed time bathroom activities separate from bedroom - bushing teeth or washing hands after using bathroom - so as to lessen any possible disturbances (already sleeping, maybe in bed but not sleeping yet).
The newer models are going back to the private bath plan so i think it was a trend that has ran its course. Of course some people like it I guess.
What I read Thefamilyman wants is a "side bath" vs. the aisle bath. We're in the same boat - I like the bathroom being separate vs. "part of the bedroom".

Wildcat has something similar in their 32QBBS. But my vote would be for the Cruiser also. We almost went for that floorplan but ended up with our 32BL instead.
2008 Crossroads Cruiser 32BL (Mack); 2000 Ford F250 Lariat 7.3 (Doreen); 2000 A4 Audi 1.8T Quattro (Lightning); 2006 Subaru Outback 2.5XT (Sally); Last but not least - one great wife and two beautiful kids.
Any opinions are my own and not of my employer.

I'm not feeling the Cruiser - kind of the same issue with the shower - if someone is in it you can't get to the kid's bedroom without seeing them. Yea I know this is kinda picky - but hey, that's what we want (or don't want). Plus the length issue - 35' is absolute max or we won't be camping in most of our favorite spots. So it seems our only real choices are the 297FWBHS or the 325BHS. Unless anyone knows about another side bath floor plan with quad or triple bunks?
Anyone have one they want to sell?

Nice - but too long and too new. If i buy new there are lots of choices (even as old as 2010 can cost close enough to new to not get the price benefit I am looking for).

The Sandpiper and Sierra have the 355QBQ. We had an '11 but traded to the 365SAQ for 2012. The big difference is the kitchen is reversed and the main bath/water closet is combined. Have loved both of them but they are heavy. At minimum a 350/3500 SRW would be needed. We pull with a dually.

Update - we bought a 2006 Jayco Eagle 325BHS last weekend! It is practically new inside with the only blemishes being a small burn mark on the bath sink and the carpet on the steps leading to the master is flattened a little - that is it, no dirt, no scrapes, no stains, nothing! My 2 boys and I spent the night in it in the driveway and it was pretty weird having all that space - but I am already dreaming about our first planned trip Memorial weekend. Had to drive to Reno and then have it delivered to a friend's house in down town Truckee. Thanks for all of your suggestions.
Now I need to buy a truck! Looking at an 02 V10 F250 4x4 CC now.
