1991 40' WLWB

[fanfor35]

Thanks Mike. Is what you refer to as the "garden bath" what I see in
many ads referred to as a "pass through" bath? Assuming that's the
case, the side aisle bath was the only other option except in what
seems like a few very rare Birds that had baths in the center and an
aisle to the bedroom on either side of the vanity/sink area. Is that
right?

I guess what I'm asking is there's no way I could confuse the
garden/pass-through bath with the y bath? I know what I'm looking at
is not a side aisle, and I know it has entrance aisles on either side
into the bedroom.

Thanks

Dave George
