The real surprise feature
While that nifty bed and the lounge and back dining and working space are absolutely pluses, there’s a giant surprise in this rig. Behind the fireplace and TV mount is another secret hidden room!
That’s right. It’s just like those old secret rooms in the horror films you watched on late night TVs only, you know, without creepy monsters in there. Well, I guess that depends on who’s in there, doesn’t it.
I mean, what if your mother-in-law comes camping?
But, seriously, you can open the fireplace wall and there’s an entire room back there. The way it’s configured in the example I saw was with an upper and lower bunk so this legitimately can be a bedroom for two.
Each mattress narrows down where your feet would likely be so it can clear the back of the refrigerator in this RV. But the total length is certainly sufficient even for an adult sleeping here.
Another nice thing is, more totes. There is a vertical space here with four more totes. If this is the kids’ room each of them could take responsibility for their own clothes or supplies and have their own totes. Nice.
There’s even a short desk here and one of those bar stools from the kitchen area can be used with this. So now the kids have a place to do their homework.
And you can close the wall so it’s a completely private space. Heck, you don’t even have to move a candle or a book or anything to open and close the wall. There’s a proper latch here.
More good features
Some of the things that already made this a nifty unit include the fact that Salem tends not to put floor registers in their units. There is one in the bathroom but I’m good with this.
I also like that they use a sectional underbelly so that you can access the underside of this rig without removing the entire underbelly cover. That can make a big difference in how long it takes to solve a problem.
They do not include a TV which I really like as you can bring your own or bring none but the choice is yours. I wish they would do the same with the mattress.
There is also an outdoor kitchen that features a small bar-sized fridge and a flat-top griddle.
