Every drawer is fitted with heavy-duty 100 LB drawer glides. The bathroom is no different, equipped with a porcelain foot-flush toilet and 12V vent fans in all baths.

One of the Durango Half Ton's key highlights is its thoughtful storage designs. The fully-finished, heated, and sealed basement storage compartment and an extra-large under-bed storage space offer you more than sufficient room to store your belongings while keeping clutter at bay. A testament of the care taken in its design, the Durango Half Ton comes pre-wired for exterior TV and satellite, considering those beautiful outdoor evenings with family and friends.
