RV lot layouts + floor plans

We were considering a rear kitchen 5er that had the dining on the wall opposite the entry door. There were several compromises, but thought that it might be liveable. However, as I got to thinking....these questions came to mind...

1. How much room is there on that side in parks with tight spaces? If there are a row of trees or bushes on that side, the slide could be jammed up to them?

2. I would imagine that I would be looking at our neighbor's campsite with dining on that side?

We have never RV'ed, so not familiar with RV lot layouts. Would love to hear from you experienced folks!

    One of the reasons we went with rear living room is because we want to enjoy the big back window. The kitchen isn't as bright as a rear kitchen, but the back of the unit has windows on both sides. The dinette slide out is on the opposite side, never been a problem.

    During the winter, we try to find spots that let the light into the back window, but during the heat of the summer it's better to have the back to the east, and after noon the back of the unit is in the shade.

    Depends. I have been in NF campgrounds with barely enough space to get my slides open. I have been in parks where I could barely see the neighbors. Some parks are so close to the neighbors I coud hear them talking. Pick what you think you want and go for it. The rest will get sorted out eventually.
