Just a couple quick observations. The night stand seems to be in the wrong place. Do you like to watch TV in bed? Where are you going to put your dish strainer for washing dishes? I like the bathroom and the table is on the right side of the camper. This is for two people, right? If there are more you would have to break down the table which gets old fast. I like the small size. Happy camping!

Yes, you can't watch TV in bed. How many in your family?

Very similar to a 1976 Wilderness my parents had when I was a kid. We had a couch that folded into a bed with a single bunk above in the same place yours has the bed. Served us well ( from a kid's perspective ) for 4 years until gas cost too much and they had to sell it. As an adult, I would see it being cramped with kids. For two adults, probably fine if you don't watch tv in bed. The kitchen is small, but the table behind would be useful. The biggest question is how much time you will spend in the trailer? We spend most of the time outside and don't use a TV, so being cramped isn't as much of a problem for us. My parents, however, now spend almost the entire camp trip in their motorhome and find the 34' to be way too small. See if you can rent a similar sized trailer for a day. Go drive and camp and see how you like it. It's a lot cheaper to spend $300 and find out it is too small before you have it in your yard.

Yep, how many in your family. If you are like me and do all of your cooking/enjoyment outside and your camper is only for sleeping, showering and "stuff" storage than this could be just the ticket. I often ask my wife why we have such a big camper, it is nice, but we are never inside it unless we are showering, sleeping or getting something out of it(storage).

Just two of us. Sometimes the dogs. I thought they could go on the dinette.

Yes the TV is a problem. I wonder if a bracket could be placed somewhere. We have a flat screen LCD right now in our popup, that we hang.

We are campers and spend our time outdoors. Though we do like to watch a little TV as we are trying to fall asleep.

The floorplans that where the entry door is goes directly to the bathroom are great especially if you have a lot of traffic going in and out of the TT all the time to use the bathroom i.e. kids and relatives.
It really eliminates the tracking in of mud, grass etc thru out the whole TT.

If you are stuck inside and wanted a couch feel, one could sit on the bed with their back against the wall. With just the two of you it should be fine. Go and spend time in it, bring a book. I'm sure you could find a suitable place for the TV - you could add more height to the night stand for that.

Oh, as one person told me a long time ago. Sit on the toidy and stand in the shower. Pretend to do the things you usually do. Think about where you would put your pans, clothes, towels and such. Who is going to sleep by the wall. It can be a pain to crawl over the other.

The specs say nothing about an air conditioner. No air would be a deal breaker for me.
