I personally like the 27.5 better than the 28.5.
Looking at the floor plans, the 28.5 has the center island and kitchen in one slide.
The 27.5 has the kitchen along the interior wall and no island. That means ... you have 3 sides with all windows!
Having a camper with dual slides and windows on all sides, even facing forward windows in the slides, that gives such a feeling of openness when your lounging or watching television, or simply just watching out the window, it's fabulous.
The unit with the kitchen in one slide out has no windows. I've been in units (trailers and 5ers) with kitchens in the slide, and all of them seem claustrophobic to me. You have windows on only one 2 sides then, not all 3, a complete 360 panorama view of the outside.
This is my opinion.
Apart from that, I think both trailers are equal. And fyi, there is no "perfect" manufacturer. There are all ... "Good, bad, and ugly" at the same time.... all of them. Do a thorough inspection of the unit before signing the dotted line. My vote, the 27.5!
