I can't take credit for coming up with that name but got it from another FRF member here & told myself, that is exactly what these rigs are to all of us owners & use the name all the time now!

And here's our set up!
New F250 Super Duty (took delivery last Friday) to go with our new 30WIKSS (took delivery six weeks ago)
We started out with the F150 EcoBeast which DH has had for a couple of years with extremely low mileage. Just felt a little unstable on the highway and bad bumpy 2 lane roads, with no shoulders and six inch asphalt drop offs, during the three trips we'd taken so far, so he traded the beast in on the F250.
We took the TT in for warranty yesterday with the new TV. WOW! What a difference! We were so much more relaxed that the rig seemed more connected to the road and didn't cringe when meeting an 18 wheeler or saw one approaching in the rear view mirrors.
Instead of feeling constant stress we were able to relax, converse and even joke during the 1.5 hour trip.
We began this RVing journey as a way of relaxing and enjoying life, just the two of us spending quality time together. THIS is what we will now be experiencing.

The paint on the F250 is "Tuxedo Black". That is a gorgeous metallic (*way* up close it appears to be multi colored diamond dust) black.

RVChick. Yes, it's a V nose. This is the bunk house model. The point portion is actually a closet. The bunks are up front and the master bedroom is in the rear. Awesome floor plan! We love it!

We saw your model on the sales lot yesterday. That walk in closet/wardrobe is awesome! 
In the V nose of ours is the bathroom, dual sinks, medicine cabinets, mirrors, etc.
Yep, that means a person must walk through our bedroom to get to the bathroom. Not a problem for us as it's just us. We looked at the Flagstaff 30WFKSS model wherein the kitchen is in the V Nose....again, NICE! But we decided on the Island Kitchen version and are lovin the beejeepers out of it!

Did you stop at Green Mountain Furniture while you were there. That was my Uncle's store until he passed away. My cousins operated it now.
