Hi Mitzi's mom. You sound like you're giving this a good study and that is the first step. The 34QRL has a great floorplan... we were in one at the recent open house at our dealer and were very impressed with the quality. The bedroom cabinetry in particular was excellent. For those interested, FR has the 34qrl set up on their 360 virtual tour.

I'm a Salem owner myself, but if I were in the market for a 5er I'd certainly consider that one.
PS: Please say Mitzi's not a cat.
