New here, but have had an R Pod for many years. Retired now so I finally have time to use it and am busy making it work for me. New lights that shine on me when reading in bed and much more. I think the bathroom will disappear soon in favor of storage space.
Welcome from Wisconsin, The reason we bought our first RV (a small Class C) was to get the bathroom which my wife needed due to a medical issue. We moved to a TT to get more room and to decrease the number of vehicles we were insuring.
I would never give up the bathroom because we both now need it in the middle of the night or even along the road when the urge hits us.
We just make up for the lack of storage by taking along less stuff.
