I like that floor plan too. If it was just 2 of us, that is pretty close to what I would look for. For some reason, I like the stairs going up the street side. I'm still at the point where I have DS and usually friends that come along. And occasionally some of my adult friends, depending on where we go. So having a lot of sleeping options is still important.

I have towed a lot of different things. I raced sports cars for 7 years and towed bumper pull race trailers to a 48 ft gooseneck hauler. I think 5th wheels pull easier on the road, but a TT is easier to back up for me. Part of that is my current 5er has about the same wheelbase as my truck. I have give it a lot of steering input to get it moving where I want and then immediately take it all back out to keep it from going too far. The 48 footer was much easier, mostly because of the wheelbase.

That says a lot. After 3 weeks, even the little things can get annoying. You may have just gotten a bad antenna. My Cruiser does great with the antenna in the living room, but the same signal is garbage in the bedroom. I changed out most of the coax connectors after we bought it. Apparently the kid at the factory assigned to coax ends didn't understand the concept. But even after that, the BR still had terrible reception. Probably a broken line somewhere I can't get to.
Thanks for the comments. So far, I'm not hearing anything to change my mind. I'm going up to a dealer about 2 1/2 hours away this weekend to take a good look at the 347 FWLFT.
