Main Living Area

The full wall slide really opens up the coach and the view all the way back to the bedroom makes it seem larger than it is.

The first thing you'll notice when entering an American Coach is the huge amount of room in the living area. American Coach uses slide outs with a full 30-inch depth rather than the narrower curbside slide outs used by other brands. This gives you more floor space when extended but the drawback is that when in transport mode, the aisle is very narrow and, when seated on the sofa, your knees will touch the opposite sofa. The full wall slide gives an impression of more length than is actually there because you can stand at the front of the coach and look straight back into the bedroom. An 84-inch ceiling height separates the polished ceramic floor tile from the dimmer controlled halogen ceiling lighting recessed into the padded ceiling.

This coach was outfitted with the Golden Suede interior with Regency Cherry hardwood. Comfortable Villa furniture covered with Ultra Leather is also found throughout the coach. Four Sony LCD televisions are located throughout the coach, including one in the patio sidewall in a covered compartment, while ducted ceiling registers provide quiet airflow from the three rooftop air conditioners. A 78-inch sofa with air mattress can be found installed in the massive full wall slide, opposite a 71-inch sofa.

Dinette and Galley

The dinette consists of a buffet with an extendable free-standing table and is equipped with shelving and compartments suitable for use as a computer workstation. Immediately opposite the dinette is the solid surfaced galley area which includes a recessed sink and cooktop. Spacious overhead cabinets flank a GE convection microwave oven with built-in range hood while a Fisher-Paykel dishwasher is located beneath the galley counter. A large side by side residential refrigerator with in-door ice maker and water dispenser is located in the full wall slide and directly next to a pull-out pantry. A buffet cabinet also houses a 40-inch LCD television.

Bedroom

While a queen bed is standard, this coach was equipped with an optional King bed with memory foam mattress.

The lavishly appointed bedroom contained a king bed flanked by nightstands and side windows to provide flow-through ventilation. On the opposite side, a large dresser houses plenty of storage cabinetry as well as a 32-inch LCD TV and DVD player.

Rear Bathroom

The rear bath area features a solid surface vanity with recessed bowl and a macerator toilet. A modular circular shower ensemble with rain effect glass and molded sitting bench is illuminated by a large frosted skylight to provide daylight illumination for the bath area. A cedar lined, full width, rear wardrobe closet provides plenty of room for your clothing.
