Boy that looks nice doesnt it.. I often wonder how I'd like the bedroom entry being on the other side.. and thank goodness it has a batrhoom entry form the bedroom.. that's so nice... I love mine like that.


and I LOVE the continuous kitchen into the tv space. really like that look.


Looks nice man. One question., the chairs at the back.. they appear that they need to be turned in order for the slides to close. At the very least the curb side chair does. That's one thing I dislike.. I hate moving my chairs when it's time to pack up, they just aren't easy to grab a hold of.. some stops we never even turn them out in to living space.

35-5z Arctic Fox

Hi,

Bought the 355z back in November of 2015 for the sole purpose of living in it 3 days a week while working in Gillette, Wyoming. We set it up for semi full 2 days prior to Thanksgiving that year. Had it skirted, and bought a 100 gallon auxiliary propane tank, insulated water line, and a couple of oil filled radiant electric space heaters.
We followed all the suggestions of those who full timed here on this site and their help was priceless. It was a rather cold winter with double digit below zero temps. Never had any freeze up issues, nor we ever uncomfortable.
We only full timed from November thru April and now use it strictly for pleasure.
In the past 4 years of owning it, it's been bombproof, with no issues other than a broken showerhead. I thought with it being 39' long it would be too big to use for a pleasure unit, but that hasn't been the case, and have enjoyed every minute of it.

Please contact me if you'd like additional info.
Best Wishes

Kevin

35 5z

One final thought. The unit came with a rear couch that has reclining seats, and does not scissor out into a sleeper. It has a blow up mattress instead.
That setup is a real PITA, and will go bye-bye as the couch is useless if one would recline on it ,say for watching a movie, most uncomfortable unit ever.
We have an 8 year old who now requires his own sleeping arrangements and will replace it shortly.

In regards to the prior post, no issues with the recliners having to be moved around.
