I love my 13 Tour QD. I like some of the changes to the 14 (like the storage behind the TV and the upgrades to LED bulbs) but, I don't like the loss of storage space in the living room. I have also noticed that things downstairs have been rearranged. It appears that storage space has been compromised to relocate the fresh water tank back to the tag axle area. It case you haven't noticed...space is important to me.
I had a few bugs to work through...but, it seems like everything is good for now.

We have one. We have about 12,000 miles on it and have enjoyed it very much. We did take the recliner out and put two euro chairs in that space. We do not use the slide on the sofa and slide one of the euro chairs in that space when slides are out. We like the fact it gets better milage than our 2008 Vectra. Plenty of power and smoother ride. I stand the extra folding chairs up in the closet and secure with a bungy. We had about 10 small things to get fixed but not as many as most other brands of coaches at Lazydays. We have plenty of room for everything we need.

jlr44 - Have you found the closets big enough? My wife doesn't think they would be big enough for fulltiming.

We are out in the RV 8 to 10 weeks max. We do know several people that full-time for years in same unit or smaller. Once you see what you don't really need to carry you will have plenty of room.

I have a 2012 QD and we love it. Things I would change? Radiant heating in the floor would be nice. It seems this is a natural with the AH heating system.
The other thing would be the fuse panel. Why is it under the bed and not on the wall at the control panel?
Drain tubes you could open to drain the lines for the DW and Washer - similar to the refrigerator.
That is about it. As far as closet space. We are not full timers but I have met a couple of full timers with these rigs so I am guessing its doable. You certainly would need to be creative with where you store things and what you take.

The closets hold more than most and the drawers are MUCH deeper than most . Storage is one thing we really liked about our qd

My wife and I purchased our QD knowing that we were going to fulltime soon. Storage space and closet space were of particular importance. My wife doesn't exactly like to travel light (she can...but, doesn't like to).
We took a 47 day trip to New England and never once felt like we needed to pack more clothes.
We've removed the shelf from the closet in the rear bath. There is already a clothes rod in that closet. We also added a shoe rack to the back of the master bathroom door (for her shoes). I use two of the plastic containers in the cargo area.
Others have a lot of storage but, we think the QD is the best example of a full-timers dream coach. Our sticks and bricks go up for sale in less than a year.
