The chef will love cooking with this motorhome! They can choose to cook either indoors with the three burner cooktop and flip-up countertop or head to the** outside kitchen** to breathe in some fresh air while they grill up some juicy burgers on the cooktop. The separated bathroom makes it easy for one to freshen up in the 24" x 36" shower while another uses the private toilet and sink with a medicine cabinet above it. The rear private bedroom has a 60" x 74" queen bed slide with nightstands to set your glass of water and wardrobes on either side of a linen closet with a 12V TV for your entertainment. The booth dinette also offers a comfortable sleeping space once converted, and this is equipped with the optional Trekker cap with a built-in entertainment center!
