I do believe I have wedged myself into the corner of the dinette.....
and there isn't a comfortable place to sit.

Dusty has about 15,000 miles so far and over 10,000 of those miles were on his first Airstream trip to Alaska. [50 days round trip] And Dusty is slightly cuter than your dog too.

Such a magnificent, natural, mane. The sun cries for a chance to glint off its brilliance. Doth it blow wild and free in the wind like a mustang? My fingers ache for a gallop through thy keratin strands.

Do you think Dusty would mind?

Ok, another thing, besides, hair, age and trucks! While visiting our new Airstream dealer in town I took the opportunity to do some coach measuring. (He has 25, 27 AND 28' models) and realized some differences. First, on the 25 and 27 model (both FB, the 27 a twin) they had identical sized lounge areas, bathrooms and showers. The 27 had a foot of space at the foot of each twin bed where a 25 twin does not- wall to wall on the beds. The other foot was found in a 6" wider pantry and 6" counter and a bit 12" wider wardrobe on the opposite side mid trailer- these both 2014 model floor plans. The 27' wardrobe was about the same size as my Safari 25 wardrobe. Apparently when they separated the shower from the bathroom it eliminated space for the 25- the extra footage of the 27 helps claim it back I guess.

The 28 was nice with all the table space but it lacked a working wardrobe for a dinette taking its place. The high twin closets were not as user friendly. So, to each his own. I like the 27 twin and my Safari the best! I believe the 25 is the best overall size but the extra 6" counter and larger wardrobe of the 27' IS NICE if you can't find a Safari!!!! oh and those large clear glass windows- geez, everyone can look in! I like those solar privacy glass windows! Robert you like your windows better DON'T you?

Got a question for owners of 27 AND 28' models. What is the measure in width of the commode sink enclosure- not depth but from the wall behind the commode to the opposing wall?

well its been a long time and i thought i reply with where we ended up. We went with the 27FB and never looked back. Been very happy with it. Had no problems towing or maneuvering. After crawling over each other in the bambi we are really happy with the north south bed situation. We replaced the mattress with a foam and that was a great upgrade. We added a flat screen in the master bedroom other than that its stock. My advice for future shoppers, when deciding between two, don't settle and wish you would've splurged.

I so agree! My hubby and I went with the 25 FB twins and I love it. Perfect for the two of us but our adult sons can fit for the occasional night. The twin configuration lets us stand up and get dressed IN the bedroom. 'Tex' is in the driveway now getting his tanks sanitized. Can't wait for next weekend's adventures!

I own a 27 fb se doing some upgrades to Axles and interior.
Love it simply because it is paid for..... ;-)
