ZB39 snapped some interior shots with the slides opened and closed so you can see how the space is used.

It's great that you guys are taking the time to basically do a tutorial of how everything works. From weights to slides and all that. Thank you.

Looks like a thin mattress they give with the Host. How was it for sleeping comfort? Going to add a memory foam topper?

I think mattress selection is very subjective. In our Arctic Fox, we put memory foam under the OEM mattress because it retained too much heat when on top but needed something because the foam was not dense enough in the mattress. In our Weekend Warrior, the mattress was a futon and we didn't add anything. I know I like a hard and firm bed and would rather sleep on a closed cell pad than an air mattress, so I'll leave the mushy fluffy stuff to someone else.

You guys really notice details. I thought it was great but my wife said maybe a topper or maybe a new mattress like the ones we saw at the Hershey RV show. We would then move it back and forth from the TC to 5th wheel. I believe the same size bed is in both.

You should be able to pick up any residential queen mattress of your choice (unless you went for the king size option, which is also residential). However, hauling it into the camper and setting it into place will convince you that it is not worth moving back and forth between RV's. Ikea has some good mattresses that can be compressed with ratchet straps - I would suggest one of those over a stiff spring mattress if you feel the need to move it often.

Grrr....

I can't stop looking at the pics... Then RV Trader. Then back to the pics... Then Craigslist...

All of a sudden my Eagle Cap 1160 is looking small. I think I'm having a bout of SOS. This is not going to end well for my wallet....

Boatycall, I know what you mean. It didn't help that I went to the Seattle RV Show. I'm exempt for a while... I'm trying to close a farm in Montana. [emoticon]
