We've had our 22 FB for almost 2 months and been out 3 times in it -- twice with full hookups and once to a PA state park with electric only so we could try out the fresh water tank and pump, and use the dump station. We looked at this model at every RV show for the last few years, and it's the only trailer my wife really liked. We wanted a queen we could walk around, sofa as well as dinette, roomy bathroom and no slide. Talked to a salesman this past summer at an outdoor show and told him what we were looking for. Didn't really expect to hear from him, but we got an email from him that he had just gotten a 2011 in trade that wasn't listed on their web page yet. Went to see it and one thing led to another!
I don't think the couch is uncomfortable to sit on and watch TV while my wife is at the dinette using her laptop. Don't know about sleeping on it. My son is in college but he might use it sometime. We bought a padded storage hassock at Target that can fit at the end of the sofa so he can put his feet on it. Since I'm
5'7" and my wife is shorter, the short queen is OK for us, but if you're 6'1" I'd try it with a pillow and see if you're feet "hang 10". Mattress is comfortable enough for us, but I know some people add a foam topper. Since we went from backpacking to "big tent" camping to a popup to TT, our standards may be different from people that expect motel quality.
I got a TV bracket from Home Detail that has 2 plates the arm can slide into so you can put the TV in 2 different locations. I have one on the back wall next to the bathroom door and one in the bedroom.
Haven't been disappointed in this trailer yet or wished I'd gotten something different.
