Mid bath access

Thanks all

We looked at a 2018 CS W at MHSRV a couple of weeks ago - with the slides in, the half bath door bangs into the upper slide molding leaving a very small opening to the bath (and marring the molding).

We pulled out the tape measure and learned that the mid-bath walls didn't extend as far into the center of the coach on the Aspire thus allowing more room for the door to open(and a smaller mid bath). The difference was 3 inches. As a matter of fact access down the center aisle was better than the RBQ because I didn't have to contort to get past the kitchen counter where it gets close to the dinette booth seating. If you have an RBQ you know what I'm talking about.

Why are the walls 3 inches shorter? The only non-constant between the various models is the refrigerator. The fridge gets bigger as you go up in price and the doors of course get wider. Thus you need more room. My salesman was surprised and immediately texted his sales rep to find out the length of the mid bath wall on a Cornerstone. Of course you can't determine this by looking at the floor plans which to me indicates a need for more detailed drawings. So, I think I'm ok but will know for sure next week unless someone on the forum can take that measurement (on a "W" Cornerstone) and let me know.

On our W from outside wall of mh the wall is 453/4 inside bath wall is 423/4.

Same problem I encountered on the Insignia. As I stated the Aspire which was a more recent addition to Beavers inventory was perfectly fine as the mid bath had been shortened by 3 inches. See post #27 for a possible explanation.

Thanks for the measurements. I'm still waiting to hear from my sales person. I'm kicking myself for not writing them down.
