Let the build begin! Just finalized the price and build sheet, should receive it by the end of April, first of May.
As some of you know I have bounced around a few TC's and a couple of TT's the last 10 years, DONE! This is a 10 year rig minimum. Ton of money for a blue collar working stiff, but this is our entertainment and will get used 12 months out of the year. We love traveling around on our weekends and on our vacations and think this is the perfect size and fit for us. Ultimately we couldn't get comfortable in a dinette and I HATED towing around a TT, HATED it!!
I upgraded my SRW to a DRW last year so i'm pretty confident it should haul it safe and comfortable. Here's our build sheet-
6' couch with high low table-Ultra
Single recliner-Ultra
32" Main TV
AM/FM/CD/DVD 4 speakers
Microwave
3 Burner Range/Oven
According privacy bedroom door
120v Fireplace
Upgraded Heke escape hatch
9k AC (for use with 2k geni)
DSI gas/electric water
160 watt solar w/monitor
Dual 6-volts
Swing out brackets
Power passenger side awning
Storage bay slide out tray
Custom retrofit generator compartment to fit 2k geni
I'll post a bunch of pics when i get it. Here's a video of our layout with the couch and 1 chair.

Thanks for sharing your personal taste.
In 30 years of RVing, I never had one with working TV and plan to keep it this way.
32" TV ? I have only 30" in my 900 sq-ft great room.
BTW it takes total ignorant to put water-wasting 2-handle shower faucet.
I hope climbing over the bed to get pair of socks will work for you.
Sorry to spoil your parade, but that camper, beside recliner make no sense to me.
None of the links shows how many steps you have to climb to get there?

I really like the Cascade, if they would have had that floor plan in 2015 we might not have a fifth wheel now. Why the choice of only one recliner and the larger dinette?

Ya it's an interesting option, but we felt it would give better access in and out of bed since the double recliners took up more entrance space to the bed. We both wanted the couch over the dinette and 1 recliner is the only option with that setup. It is also the same setup we have at home and don't see ourselves sitting together in recliners, don't watch much TV. It will be nice to have the option go back and forth between chair and couch, which is what we do at home.

Congrats on the soon to be yours camper. Looks great. Getting out of bed on the same side was one of the reasons why we went with the Mommoth but it works fine for many people. Looking forward to your build pics. Enjoy.
