We were at the factory last week and Bill Hulsey showed us one they were still building. In fact, I think it was the first one. They are using all the weight saving ideas from the fold down models. The steel chassis, which they build themselves, is the same as the 3124. The wall construction and the counter tops are the same. The bathtub is the same one they use in the fold downs but they have put hard plastic walls on 3 sides. They build their own cabinets and they were installing some them while we were there.
My biggest surprise is that we saw it on Wednesday and this Monday they had pictures of it on the web page. That is fast work. They are not abandoning the fold down line. This will fill the niche of people who want the TT convenience but want something light weight. They have done wind tunnel tests to get the best slope for the front surface.
By the Way; there is storage space under the bed.
One more thing: At the back of the passage between the refrigerator and the bathroom there is a built-in bench. Bill said the dimensions are just right for him to sit on and put on his socks.
