RV lot layouts + floor plans

I believe most manufacturers will tell you not to use the couch/recliners if the slides are in. Also, if you have an island kitchen sink, you will probably not be able to get to them anyway - at least that is the case in my RE model.

I've never had a situation where I couldn't open my slides. At some parks you will be closer then you like to your neighbors - just use your shades.

I keep a journal of everywhere I go and which campground I stay in - with name, address, phone #, cost, and comments. Most I will go back to. Some, I won't. RVPARKREVIEWS.COM is my best friend.

I like the large window in the back of my RE model. Many non-commercial campsites (FS, COE, etc) will have a nice view out the back. My fireplace is across the back and the TV slides up and down from behind it. I think I do have a pretty good view of the TV from the recliners or the couch - Bighorn 3010RE.

I also like how I can come in the door onto linoleum and get at one door of the fridge and also the bathroom even if all slides are in.

Jane - I know you want an office. You might look at how some manufacturers are incorporating a small area for computer hookup inside. You just use one of the kitchen chairs when you want to make use of it. Storage is different situation. I have a decent basement and no generator. That means I also have an additional storage compartment in front. I also have eye-level storage compartments surrounding my 'living room'.

I second the recommendation that it would be a good idea if you could get to some kind of large RV show and go through them. I initially visited the Lazy Days near Tampa. They have approximately 40,000,000 units to look at. Huge place. They drive you around in a golf cart. Salesmen get a printout every morning telling them what the exact inventory is.

Mine came with what I thought was a useless gimmick. It's a wireless remote to control the slides and awning. I quickly found out how useful it is. I can stand outside and send my slides out, watching to make sure there is no interference.

When I make a reservation, I always tell them my length and that I have 3 slides.
