At the front, there’s a big queen-size bed with plenty of space to walk around. This camper’s great layout makes it easy to get in and out of bed without feeling cramped, providing both convenience and accessibility.

At the rear of the camper there’s a large bathroom that has lots of room to move around. No more feeling like your camper’s bathroom is a port-a-potty at the state fair!
