After having three other fifth wheels I decided to order one to fit my needs. That is one of the good things Peterson Industries will do is work with their customers and try to do what you might want. My two concerns where storage and making it easy for me to clean. I have the convectional micro wave so I did not want the gas oven. I had not used the oven in the last two and wanted a drawer installed instead. I went back to a both for the under bench storage and order a custom made closet that give me more storage. To help me keep a clean house I got this unit with out any carpeting except in the two main floor slide outs. It had to be placed there to cover the slide out hardware. The bedroom slide did not need carpeting.

Book..Thanks for finally sharing the pics with the others here! 
We saw the flooring in person last month...and I don't think the photos do it justice! It is a great upgrade and it definitely makes the rig feel more like home!  I would recommend this upgrade to anyone who likes hardwood flooring.

B,
Miss Jo is really jealous. She loves all the hardwood floors instead of carpet. Thanks for sharing!

When I first read about no carpet in the bedroom, I thought "why?". I have to admit it does look great. Nice job on the pictures. I understand why you went w/ the booth dinette. Sometimes miss the storage. Anyone considering an Excel should know that they can go a long way to customize a unit for you. I wish I had made a couple of changes before ordering, but maybe next time.
