O.K. this is my opinion which some people think is against the law to give.

I like the fact that Powerhouse is developing some really neat new innovations into their conversions. I think this rig looks awesome and I am sure anywhere you go you are going to be giving people whiplash. But 52'is ridiculous! I am sure the wheel base has to be over 28' which is what my last conversion was and I was only 40' long and mine was a royal p.i.t.a to maneuver in smaller towns, side streets, etc.. Tow a car behind there and you cannot backup. I am sure on the open highway that thing has got to be awesome with the long wheel base. Leave the highway and all you do is try to plan where you can go and where you cannot. Believe me I have been there done that and hated it.

Keeping the sleeper for passengers to ride in is truly a waste of space. Passengers are not going to want to sit in there when they could hang out on the couch and watch some TV. The layout on this one is poor. Look where the entertainment center is compared to the 2 couches. Everyone has to look at the TV from a angle, they should have angled the entertainment center like I have seen them do before.

Those stairs are crazy and I could see my kids braking bones on those babies. I am also not keen on the pre-made box that they put on there (which I am assuming they still do) I would much rather see steel cage and custom interior.

All that being said if they are selling rigs than who am I to say what they are doing is not right for them.
