We had a 285RLX2 Durango with the rear door. We won't own another rear door fifth wheel. You cant backup very far in a site or you steps are in the mud or way past the slab. If you have to lower the front for leveling your steps get high in the air. When traveling in the rain the steps get covered in road dirt. I do like the floorplan other than the door. The TV may be a little close.
Awesome!! Thank you for that info!! Sooooo good to know!! Never considered that issue, since we have never owned an RV!!
While less than the Perfect floor plan we are happy with this unit for the following reasons;
First the drawbacks
1. Refer unassailable with slide in.
2. Kitchen unassailable with slide in.
Neither of these were deal breakers for us, we would just pack a lunch.
Now the good, as we see it.
1. King size kitchen for DW. (I win also as DW loves to cook)!
2. Table and chairs, just more like home.
3. Center door. I can let dogs out without passing end of hid-a-bed.
4. Master suite, grew to like very much, lots of room when taking shower, more space around bed.
5. ALL gas devices behind exit door!!
6. Large dresser in bed room (four large drawers and three small + large cabinet over head.
Keep in mind that all floor plans have trade offs, if looking for Full timing, the issues with items blocked with slides in become less of an issue, although the toilet is a biggie.

Good luck on your search.
