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!
