Dan,
I'd buy this in a heartbeat if I could get it to California this weekend. Any ideas? Beam 'er up , Scotty, drop er in California. Wanna meet me halfway? Where IS halfway to Illinois? Ok, I'd better get out the maps. It is a beautiful unit. funny how we find what we want after we get something else, huh?
Oh, I just realized you are VERY close to my ex-inlaws. Hmmm..wonder if the ex wants to make a trip and haul it back?
How much does it weigh? Does it have trailer brakes? I assume you have a clear title and it 's registered. I'd love to see an outside pic.
Hmmm...and you listed this after I went to bed last night...that doesn't usually happen since Im on pacific time. There's no phone number in your listing. Be sure to respond here. I am very interested.

Dan,
I just sent you an email. But here are a few more questions. I have some serious doubts about getting it to California, but Im sure other folks will want to know all about your trailer, too, so I'll ask questions!

The first thing I noticed were the overhead cabinets. In one picture they look like one of the cabinets is sorta at an angle, although it may just be less deep than the one next to it. If its at an angle, does the door hit anything when you open it?
You said there is a single bed in front and a single in back. One of the beds looks like it has a twin mattress on it, but that there may be more room. Could a near double foam mattress fit in that space? Is that the original layout or have you changed it a bit?
In your posting about your floor you said you had two more boxes of the parquet flooring. Is it included with the tt?

no it is not at a angle just looks like it in a picture..the rear is a twin mattress and the front is a couch/bed and yes a foam cut mattress would fit to a double size..it is the layout i recived just moderized..and i will include the remaining tile ..and who ever buys it has up to 30 days to pick it up once i recive payment for it i has a fencened in storage area..

And Dan is going to have to change his AVATAR
I thought that was why he would not sell it to me when he had it listed earlier this year.

Dan, Could you tell us about the round table? Is it something you added? It looks new. I've been looking for something like that for our Lil Bigfoot. Does
it fold away? Congrats on the 5er. Keith
