Then we bought the 21' Proline with the cuddy. Yup, the salesman was right. It became a place to store rods, reels, etc. With the CC, I'm forced to put stuff away, where it belongs, rather than just put it in the cabin for the next time. John, you're right. Small cuddies are glorified enclosed bow boats, and yes, it's a good place for storage, and it keeps everything dry and out of the sun... but you! At 6'4" I couldn't sleep in the cuddie of my 23' Marquis if I had to. But I'm going to take advantage of the space and do some cool things with it. It seems there's lots of wasted space under the flooring and here about. After examining (thank you) the lay out of your camper trailer, I saw how the builders made the absolute maximum creature comforts in the space provided. My craftsman/carpenter buddy and I are working out details for the modding. |
