Hi, I'm saving up to buy a used B+ and really like the BT Cruiser 5291, but according to the brochure, it only has a 77" ceiling height. In the pictures, it doesn't look that low to me. Is there anyone with an 2008-2011 5291 (or equivalent) that would actually measure the ceiling height in their rig for me? Thanks.

My advise......Don't buy the 5291 get the 5290. That atrium slide top is a total waste and it allows the inside to get VERY, VERY hot even with the shades drawn. I have a 2006 5291 and have grown to hate that feature. I can't get to my rig to measure the ceiling height for you. Being 5'4" I don't have a problem with it.

Hello,

I do have a 2007 BTCruiser 5291B and find the Atrium sky lights to be a wonderful feature. My rig is in storage but, I am 5' 11" and have no problem with the ceiling height.
The Atrium sky lights make you feel like your dining outside while dining inside.
Great feature!

I have 2006 5271 and it is 77 inches from floor to ceiling. I have a 2006 brochure for the whole line of BT Cruisers and is says they all have 77 inch high ceilings. That being said the light fixtures and AC are about 1/2 inch lower.
I don't mind the skylight over my couch. I have reflective bubble wrap style insulation the I tuck up in the skylight before drawing the blinds. It never seems warmer in that area than the bedroom.
I downsized from a 37 foot class A Holiday Rambler and I love my BT. The only thing I wish it had was larger shower. I'm not a small guy but I've gotten use to it.
