Twin King Shower and Sink October 21, 2011, 02:56:44 pm Yahoo Message Number: 126128The advantage the T/K has is that you can put water in the sink while standing in the shower and use it to wash, shampoo and shave. You can then rinse off with the shower wand. This allows you to clean up on about a gallon of water. You can do this with other floor plans by using a dish pan or bowl but it is not nearly as handy as in the T/K.Bill Motts

The FL's shower hose is more than long enough to reach the sink, where we sit a dishpan to catch the water, while waiting for it to warm. The advantage of the Front Lounge's bath is it roominess, when the door is close and how spacious the whole floor plan feels when the bath door is open. The big window in the bath brings in a lot of light. The one thing that would keep me from buying an older T/K is the reduced tank capacity. After having big tanks, I would want a new T/K with similar capacities, for boondocking. All of the floor plans are very livable, each one has its own advantages and disadvantages. We could easily adapt to any of them if forced to give up our FL. LD has built the same floor plans for decades and has tweaked each one to maximize its utility. Having owned a 1983 FL and a 2003 FL, we were amazed how much increased storage and tank capacity the newer one had, even if the basic layout is the same. Many of the construction methods and materials had also improved. The newest 2011 FL has many improvements over our 2003 model, Evolution continues. Every floor plan has gone through the same development in both design and construction. Having worked on so many LDs, I can confidently say no matter what floor plan, buy the newest you can afford. Newer is better.Larry
Re: Twin King Shower and Sink Reply #2 – October 22, 2011, 12:09:15 pm Yahoo Message Number: 126139I looked at a 2008 with the rear twins. Two things I didn't like about the bathroom: It is located directly behind the drivers seat. And the wall of the bathroom blocks the rear vision from the rear view mirror. Plus, I don't like the "hinged wall", that makes more room for the drivers seat. Plus the looks of the hinged wall. Looked really rinkydink..PS.. I do not own a LD, but looking to buy.
Re: Twin King Shower and Sink Reply #3 – October 22, 2011, 01:19:37 pm Yahoo Message Number: 126141Hi Steve! You can't really see out the rear view mirror anyway - even with the big windows. Very dangerous for backing up (which is why the backup camera is a good addition) and too high to see cars behind you (unless they are really tall). The hinged panel is a compromise to allow them to create more usable space. While it is hardly the epitome of techno-design it accomplishes its purpose well. The alternative would be a "short bed", a scrunched kitchen, or a longer rig.

About all I ever see using the rear view mirror in out MB is the roof of our lifted Jeep in the bottom of the rear window. The side mirrors are the important ones to use when driving a motorhome. For backing, a trusted spotter or backup camera is really needed.Art

Looked really rinkydink.. -- I've heard various pejorative terms applied to the spring-loaded cutout in the behind-the-driver's-seat bath wall of the 24' TK, but although it may not be a particularly elegant or aesthetic solution, it works. Function over form... "And the wall of the bathroom blocks the rear vision from the rear view mirror." True for the most part, but although an unnobstructed view through a rear view mirror is essential in a *car*, it's virtually useless for seeing what's behind or on either side of the RV. In my experience, there are three ways to clearly see what's behind you when driving or "maneuvering" an RV: use the side mirrors, install a back-up camera, and/or GOAL, i.e., Get Out And Look! Using all three methods works best. If one wants a rear view mirror just to glance back at what's going on in the rear of the "box" itself, it might be useful, but, IMO, a rear view mirror in an RV is just something to get in the way when cleaning the inside of the windshield.As ever, YMMV.Joan
