We own a 2012 HT 26.5 RLS and I think the 27.5 is somewhat like ours, based on the floorpans I have looked at. On our RLS we have to move the swivel chair next to the slide-out since the area for the chair is not long enough for the slide to bypass it when coming in. I think that problem has been fixed with the 27.5. Other than that, we have really enjoyed ours so far in four seasons of camping. Plenty of room and with the rear living, the tv, when you watch it, is directly in front of you so you don't have to crane your neck to watch tv. For the two of us, it's just the right size. One little thing I would change, just haven't yet, is the lack of drawers in the pantry next to the fridge. There are no drawers with a great deal of vertical space with just one shelf. I think the reduces the utility of the pantry. That may not be the case on the 27.5, I haven't looked at one to see.
