Here's a link to the Outbackers.com forum web site. Click here. I'm sure you'll find lots of information there.
I have a 2013 298RE. The difference between the 295 and 298 is the closet slide in the bed room. I've done some searching and as far as I can tell, the Outback has not changed very much in several years. They still look like the same floor plans, same design, same construction. The exterior color has changed slightly, and the front cap cover has changed colors and the new ones have gone with a one piece fiberglass type front, but other than that not much has changed.
I say all that, because we've had our 298RE for a little over a year now and we're doing great with it. No problems at all. We use it a lot at home for all sorts of things, bedroom, office, and just to get out of the house. We've had some long trips, and short ones, and so far, everything is still good.
Outbacks are making a comeback in sales. Early last Summer I visited my dealer and he said they can't keep Outbacks on the lot. They are a hot item (at least last Spring they were).
I think you'll really enjoy that double living room slide. I think that's THE number 1 selling feature of this model series.
I think you'll do well with this camper.
I contacted via private message another form member who owns an Outback 298RE, same year as yours. Hopefully, he'll chime in. I've had a couple private messages with him and he appears to be quite pleased and happy with his Outback.
Don't know if this was any help, but as long as you don't see any evidences of roof leaks, I don't think you'll be disappointed going with this camper.
