rhagfo,
The 293 floor plan you posted is a very good layout for both full time use but marginal for RV'ing. It has open but designated defined areas with having lots of counter space and closet space for clothes also. A con is that the fridge is not accessible with the slide in or the kitchen unless it has a free standing table with only 2 or 3 chairs as they can be moved some to allow passage if the table is turned 90 degrees. Also,the OP wants a W/D in her RV so it's an issue too.
Jayco makes a very similar 293 Eagle model with the same basic layout but has moved the fridge about 2' and put in a doored large pantry so the fridge can be accessed with the slide in and also has a space for a W/D in the front closet too if that's a biggie.
Lots of trade-offs as none are perfect for all.
There's only so much cubic footage inside a legal road licensed RV with or without having slides which also cause accessibility issues and all a designer or manufacturer can do is shuffle the deck in putting wanted/needing features inside an RV. Extending the RV length creates lots of other bad problems/issues too. Maybe we need to change DOT laws and allow 10' or 12' wide RV's on the road to solve the dilemma! Ya think?
