The bath and a half models are built out of necessity, not vanity. Most people now prefer a large rear bath. RV's went from all in one baths to split baths and now the trend is full rear baths. When you build a coach with a rear bath, the toilet can't be accessed while driving. Consequently, the need for the half bath.
Bingo! That is one of the primary reasons for the 1/2 bath. Incidentally, you should ask to see any RV you are considering with the slides retracted. We ruled out a couple of models based on this when shopping for our new RV. We had to consider placement of dog crates and access to the bath, refrigerator and cooking facilities with slides in.
