How important is it to access the bed with slides closed?

We've never been in a situation where we couldn't get the slides out. We can reach into the frig to get stuff out and lie down on the bed if we had to but never have had to. We put the slides out in rest areas, Walmarts, wherever. With two adults and two dogs it can get pretty cozy. Just make sure you are reasonably level before putting out the slides.

This is cool! Just happened to land on a prime example!!

Nope... Can't access the fridge with slides in. Everything else, yes.

OMG can't get to a cold brew when stoping for lunch!!!!
While many see this little issue as a deal breaker, way too many other positives to the floor plan the write it off for that.
Huge kitchen, yer similar to ours, I just measured ours and we have 15 sq. ft. of open counter space useable 100 percent of the time! This doesn't include closed stove top or a filled in sink.
In addition huge Master Suite, not 8" on each side of the bed, large space on the shower side and roomy.
Full 8' closet and large Chet of drawers at foot of bed four large drawers and three smaller.

We find this general floor plan very livable, worried about no aces so refer with slide in, we need to climb over the counter to access the kitchen area, would not trade access to it with slides in, as the great expance of counter space.
The Everest has a drop down table leaf to allow you to squeeze through.
We don't live in our 5er with the slides in, we only tow and store with the slides in, living is done with slides out!

:B
This floor plan rocks! We have a 1.8cu ft fridge that is a beverage only fridge. We changed out the dinette for an ikea, fold down desk, that has room for my sewing and crafting supplies, or a place to work on the Mac Book ( scanning, printing, etc ). It can also be opened to be very large for puzzles and stuff on rainy days, though we have yet to do that. The desk isn't as deep as the dinette, so I can acess the kitchen with the slides in.
We changed the living room area to a tv console, across from 2 lazy boys, and use the old television area as food pantry.
When we travel, we keep a cooler in the truck and car, so, no need to access the fridge anyways. If we stop for lunch, we have never been in a position to not be able to open the slides, so, it's a non issue.
We upgraded the fridge to a 10cu ft Norcold, that fit the same area as our old, little Dometic. Love the counter space. I cook more now since I retired, since I love cooking, and now I actually have the time to do it.
It is perfect for us, which is all that matters. We are considering going back to a DP, and I am already getting sad thinking of losing this floorplan.
