Does the 1/2 bath use separate holding tanks (grey/black)? Tom, if you need help with the options on a Winslow.... Let me know! I did my very best to make a Limited out of one.... .

I believe I heard Bryan refer to the front bath as having a macerator toilet so I assumed that there is a shared black.

Does two bathrooms mean 2x the "stuff" and bigger holding tank(s)? I doubt that, you simply get a choice of which to use. Unless Tom has us all over for a wine and cheese party! Then extra "tankage" may be needed!

Come on guys ... just because you now have two "pots", doesn't mean that you are now going to produce twice as much "stuff"!! The half bath was put there because you can't get to the front bath with the slides in. However, if you are any size at all, you would still need to let the side slide out to get to the 1/2 bath, I think.

I was really impressed with the unit, and totally amazed that so many people could be in there at once and not feel that you were in a cattle car! The new layout just opened the place up. I thought that the macerator toilet for the front bath was a great idea, too, as long as there aren't a lot of problems with them. Imagine being on the road and that thing fails ... but wait, we have a 1/2 bath to fall back on!

All in all, a great day in Moriarity. Thanks to the Staff at RVSales, Ralph and Kathie, and Bryan T., great job!!

They could put the door in slide on a 36GKM floorplan without having the extra 1/2 bath.

Okay ... I will grant you that! And that second "pot" would sure come in handy for a gathering of any sort. It sure did seem like a party on Friday with around 2 dozen folks in that unit at one time ... it was amazing that they could all get in there and still walk around!

I think the door could go in just about any floor plan. It'll be interesting to see how it develops. It sure does open the floor space.

Tim, it could be put on any floorplan.

But, the ones with the bedroom/bathroom hallway on the doorside would be blocked by the slide when retracted.

The 36GKM style bath could still allow bathroom access since it's hallway is on the streetwise.

It never makes a difference if we need to open a slide for some reason. With hydraulics, it's just a matter of seconds to move it. We've also never been in a place where we couldn't open it. When the slides were electric, it was a different story. Now, as they say in Jamaica, "Ain't no problem, Mon".

We've stopped at rest areas with truck parking and my steps extend to the line. If I had to extend that slide, I'd take up 2 spaces, not to mention the stairs and door extend with that slide.

I'm sure many would accept it.

I had a cardinal rule when RV shopping: I required refrigerator and bathroom access with all slides closed.
