So, you want to know, what did we think of the View. .. Kit loved driving it. The engine is a lot quieter than our Dodge--and you are up high with a good view of the road. (You also are more affected by wind) I even drove it--around the campground and parking lots. I liked riding back at the dinette looking at the world go by--like riding on a train. This is the only good thing I can say about Dinettes. Luckily this model comes with an alternate sofa and pop- in table. The bed was surprisingly comfortable (due mostly to modifications by the owner) and roomy enough for two friendly people. Frog liked the view from the window at the back. There are two nice windows in the bed area. Cooking space wasn't a real problem and while washing dishes with only one sink is tough it's not impossible (though a bit of a challenge for Kit). The kicker for me was the shower. The shower is plenty roomy. The first night the door fell off but we learned how to fix that. But the tiny bathroom has barely enough room to stand let alone to get dried and dressed. I had to get dressed in the middle of the living area. And the ceiling is so high I can't reach the fan to turn in on and off unless I stand on the toilet, stand on the shower, or call Kit who is tall. I am spoiled by our spacious bathing facilities in Alice. Friends who have a rig without any bathroom at all would think this commodious. My other problem was getting locked IN the rig. I don't understand why it is so difficult to get OUT. I think they went overboard on security. So I am NOT in a big hurry to go out and buy a View--although it is still on our list--with major life adaptations.
