I did a lot of research before buying it. I looked at several of the 276's here, which are identical except for a center kitchen. So i was down to the 278.
In 2006 they put in a corner shower and put the toilet in the "closet of shame". I really don't like excessive doors and partitions. So it had to be a 2005 or earlier.
The full belly started sometime in 2004. Now we are talking only 2 model years.
I will remove all the bathroom walls and take out a 16" deep entertainment center in the main room, which was a design throwback to the old days of tube TV's.
I will give that space to the bathroom, turn the shower and re-locate the toilet.
There is a slider at the top of the stairs for privacy from the rest of the house so no need for all those walls and doors.
All this is leading to removal of a couple of smallish drawers on each side of the bed shown here.
Then with that wall mostly removed at the end of the bed, I can fit in a full king sized mattress. Currently it has an "RV" queen that is 74" long.
Skyking is 75" long. It is not a good fit
