soos has it correct. We purchased a new 2004 Mobile Suite in 2004. We absolutely did not want a rear kitchen or did we want to have to open the slides to eat or potty.
THe MS was such a nice and well made unit that we bought it even though we had to open the slide to get at the side kitchen. As it turned out it was never a problem. We towed that trailer for 10 yrs all over the US, Mexico twice and the Alaska Hyw. Never a problem with the kitchen and we opened it 300 times at least.
The potty was accessible w/o opening any slides. THat is most important. You eat usually once a day but the other function is many more times.
Our MS stood up well to the rigors of long term living as well as lots of traveling. I would definitely buy another MS but we have decided to try out more permanent RVing in a destination RV. We now have a Jayco Bungalow 40FER and love it. Much more reasonable price and much more room in it than a 5th.whl. THere are other brands of destination RV's but we liked the one we bought the best of all.
I will change my signature pic when I figuire out how to do it.
