Rear kitchens = porpoising?
A fifth wheel salesman told us today that rear kitchens cause porposing due to the heavy weight on the back. Is this true?

Ahead to 2016 and just for some examples:
Jayco makes an Eagle line RK travel trailer model: 306RKDS that is totally usable with the slide in if it has the table a chair dinette or have them cutoff the countertop "L" overhang roughly 5 or so 5" with the booth dinette. Overall length of 34'5".
In 5th wheels: A lighter weight Eagle HT 5th wheel RK model totally usable with the slides in model: Eagle HT 27.5RKDS. A lower profile 5th wheel (147").
A heavier weight high profile (155") RK model is the Eagle 293RKDS. Fully usable with the slides in.
There's 3 choices and I really don't know what you are looking for, so I guessing.
We have personally been inside all these Jayco models and they are well insulated and good construction. Built in Middlebury, Indiana roughly 120 miles south of our West Michigan home.
I have the 2016 brochure in front of me.
Thank you for your suggestions! Interestingly, I was at Camping World yesterday and looked at a few Jaycos! I saw the Eagle HT 27.5RKDS. Nice and bright! However, I have not gotten over wanting a W/D, and there was barely any room for clothing, so I passed on it.
The Eagle 293RKDS is larger, but I do not like the sink so close to the stove. Jayco Northpoint has an spacious kitchen layout with W/D connections, but I guess the fridge would not be accessible with slides in. Whew!!! Soooo many things to think about!! Very stressful shopping for an RV!!
