Re: [A/S] question about large mid 70s Streams

I, too like the '70's models the most. My main likes- lightweight. Out 
'75 31' weighed around 4500 lbs empty- under 7,000 lbd loaded for full 
timing. I like the center bath layout more than the rear bath. In the 31 
the center bath gave good privacy between the front and rear, and the 
hall full of closets was nice.

Dislikes- the tambour doors are neat when they are new, but the tambour 
doesn't last forever and is a pain to replace.
I thought I would like the side couch in the living room, but our 
current '78 has that, and while it is a nice looking layout (a big TV 
fits on the front ledge, and it can be seen while cooking), our side 
couch is *very* uncomfortable, whereas the front couch was quite 
comfortable.

Our current floor plan is kind of neat- a 28' with the front side couch, 
a center double bed (couch that makes in to a bed) with a vanity on the 
road side, and a fairly large rear bath, but I still prefer the center bath.
A friend has a neat '75 25' with a center bath (and blond interior)- the 
only one like it I have seen of that vintage.
