Here is where the dual slide rear living room really shines! There is no blockage with the slides in, although they may be a bit longer than the ones you are considering.
We have the Keystone Outback 298RE. Except for cabinet door on the living room side of the kitchen sink, everything is accessible and usable. (The television in the lift up-and-down under the rear window can be seen, but it's mostly blocked from view with slides both living room slides in.) But this is easily remedied by having a television in the bed room.
With slides in, it's all accessible. Ours came with free standing furniture. We removed 2 chairs and the kitchen table and 4 chairs and replaced with a home version, 3 seater, recliner couch. I put wheels on it so it's easy to move around. We can turn it and face it directly to the rear window for viewing out that fabulous back full rear window, or with television "up", watch television without any obstructions.
I highly recommend looking at opposing rear living room slide variations. Personally, I don't want the entertainment center or the kitchen in one of the slides, blocking any potential view.
agree. we have the 295RE, similar to the 298RE but an earlier model with no bedroom slide.
When we looked at trailer we looked to see what was and was NOT accesible with the slide in. Amazing how little you can get to in some.
beside having the living space we want the 295/8RE lets us access
bedroom, bathroom, stove, fridge, most of the food cabinets, dinette, microwave, sink, with the slides in. Makes for nice easy rest/lunch stops. And on more than one occasion when wanting to leave early in the morning, pulled the slides in before bed, and quick breakfast and we were ready to go.
