Sounds nice. I have seen the layout for the Jet model, but it is just very different from our. The main difference being the location of the fridge on the street side next to the sink. the H/W tank is on the curbside with the heater, under the double bed with the fresh water tank. Up front is two small gouchos that fold down to make the worlds most uncomfortable one person bed, or up for a small table. like the Jet, our tub/shower is in the rear curb side, and the toilet is rear street. the sink is in the middle with a window above it. Anyhow, glad to hear you are enjoying it.
