hey Randy
yes, 81" is not much (for a 6'3" guy like me) but there will be no roof AC (we plan to use a low mounted "mini split" style unit) and no over the cab bunk (i think they look plain ugly; we will reuse the stock unibilt sleeper front/roof part)
the Pete is more of a SURV (sport utility RV ) and not a MoHo for us: we actualy dont spend much time in the RV (most of it is sleeping ) we like the outdoors (nothing better then sitting around a campfire with a ice cold one after a long day playing in the dunes/desert )
the "handling" (on the demanding roads and conditions here in the west) is a lot more important for us; thats why we try to keep the profile and the center of gravity as low as possible
