Have you looked at the Keystone Montana Mountaineer 346LBQ. That's what I bought recently and it pretty much has all that you are asking about. I tow it with my 3/4 GMC and it is no problem at all.

We have the Laredo 321 and absolutely love it! Sooooo much storage in it, the half bath off the bedroom is great and the front bunkhouse has the 2 bunks and queen sized inflatable bed. we have slept 4 adults and 4 kids ( age range 2-17) with room to spare.

338 for us. We moved up quickly from a 27sab which was a small bunk. We love the back room for a kids room. I foresee a toy hauler soon but that will be a step to a bigger truck from the F250.

I have owned a sierra, cruiser and just ordered a cougar after looking at wildcat, chaparral and open range. For price point and quality I think the cougar was the best deal. If you can live without the 1/2 bath the 320 qbs is what I purchased.

I have the 2012 Avalanche 341TG which offers all you ask for but the island in the kitchen. The new 2013 Avalanche 360RB now has the island too with pretty much the same configuration.

Hi All - will our new 2012 Dodge Ram 3500 Mega Cab SRW 3.73 be able to pull the Avalanche 341TG? I love the new model 360RB? even more, but that might be too big. Thoughts? Thanks!

Parents ordered a new 346LBQ in 2012. Wife daughter n I stayed in it again last night. Plenty of room and having a half bath is nice too. But it takes a healthy truck to haul it. Wife and I have a 2008 Copper Canyon 297FWBHS. It does the job for us, but I don't like the mid bathroom as its too small and not accessible with the slide in. Also would like a master bed that I can walk around. We like the folks coach but we like to pull the boat in tandem, so its too long for us. If your not set on a Keystone product (I'm not) you might look at Crusader. They have one that's around 31-33 ft bunkhouse and could be pulled with a 3/4 ton truck. Wife and I looked at a new one and liked it. Our dealer sells both. Ended up buying the '08 used locally as it was in excellent shape, knew the owners and best of all no lien. Not the best floorplan but it'll get us by until we can afford something different. Parents and I pull with late model F350 diesels 11.4GVW. Best of luck in your search.

Sorry reread your post stating you want a bath and a half. Crusader makes one with those specs. I also like one made by Palomino Columbus. It has the entertainment center across from recliners, and a couch along the front wall where the entertainment center normally is situated. I've never seen one in person, but on paper I like the living arrangement of it. I'd have to take two trucks or leave the boat at home with that coach as its around 38-40 ft if I remember. If you want Keystone we do like the folks Mountaineer. We took a trip with them and we all had room. Folks had the master bedroom, our 3 kids had the bunk room and wife and I took the hide a bed.

We bought a toyhauler too just for the two queen bunkbeds in the back.

Hi Trent - thanks for the response. I actually should change my "wants" as having that 1/2 bath is not that important anymore (and my husband would prefer not to have it) ;-0. So BH with Kitchen Island and good storage, ample room for my tall kids in the bunkroom and a good size bathroom and shower for us. Also, our towing max is 13,300 and want to try not to go above 36 or so feet if possible.

I'm not sure what the folks Mountaineer weighs, but it's close to the GCWR with the F350 which is 23,500lbs. Our F350 SRW and 2008 Copper Canyon weighs mid 17's, truck alone weighs 8,700 full of fuel. The Copper Canyon is a lower/mid-range coach, so it doesn't weigh as much as toyhauler or 4 seasons coach. This gives us room to pull the boat and not be over weight. I know we really like the half bath in the folks coach. I'm not saying it's a requirement for us either, but it's nice for the kids & parents or two couples to have their own "space" and facilities. One thing you might want is an outdoor kitchen. Our Copper Canyon doesn't have one, and it's something I didn't figure anyone would use. The folks Mountaineer has it, and I use it all the time. It's nice to have an icebox, sink and counterspace outside by the grill. That's something we'd like on our next rig. I'm not saying Keystone builds a bad or good product, but don't limit your search to them, In my opinion all manfactures in this class are probably on par with eachother as far as build quality. So pick a floorplan you like and enjoy it. I'll reasearch them all when time comes for us to purchase again. My father wasn't biased and, reaseached all the manufactures to find the ideal floorplan for them. They traded an Alpenlite (very nice high end 4 seasons coach) on the Mountaineer. It also helped out that the dealer in Abiline KS, that has done service work for them also sells Keystone. They have always treated us fair so it was nice to buy from them.
