Jayco 28bhbe or 29bhdb

Well its time to upgrade again . I spent years on hear reading before i even signed up. I thought so many times, never going to happen to me , not doing that ..... just like everyone else i started tent camping then i bought a pop-up then 3 years ago we got a jayco Jay flight 26bh pulling it with a 2012 chevy 1500. Then I bought a 2016 2500 gasser because it just wasn't comfortable pulling on long trips . Bla bla bla
Ok so anyways 26bh is a great camper but long trips or rainy weekends it just two small. Its me and my wife 2 kids 11 and 8 and one big dumb dog. We are looking at the jay flight 28bhbe and the 29 bhdb. Any and all criticism is welcomed because it usually turns out to be spot on. To much weight bad floor plans ? Are biggest wants are more storage for the kids stuff , living room slide (to cramped ) and a bigger shower would be great. thanks

    If you are going to watch television look for a floor plan that you can sit and view the screen straight on...ie, seating directly across from the entertainment center.

    Both of your choices require you to sit at a 90 degree angle from the screen...uncomfortable and degrades the picture sharpness.

    Are you going to be able to walk around the queen bed . It looks like there is very little room at the foot.

    Also, when moving to a slide unit, it might help you to know how it functions and know what to do when/if it malfunctions.

    I also am not a fan of the bhds thats a different floor plan than the 29bhdb
    I like the 32 bhds except we do plan on taking long trips and am concerned on it being to heavy with my gasser. I want to pull comfortably. Maybe im being to over careful but this new rig will see some mountains also it has the small shower. Thanks keep it coming the more opinions the better.

    You might want to also check out bumper pull toy haulers. Some of the configurations being made today turn out very convenient and almost modular configurations. Meaning, you can have multiple couches, beds that come down from the ceiling, elevated screened in decks, etc. In the garage area, you can fold up the couches or move the bed up to the ceiling and have an area for bicycle transport, kayaks, etc.

    The toy hauler isn't just for Motorcycles, ATVs or a SxS.

    IMHO, the 29BHDS seems like an odd floor plan... the large bath and shower is nice, but the bathroom door on the left side has you stepping out into your neighbor's campsite. It looks like interior access with the slides in might be iffy (though it's hard to tell from just a floor plan), you might not be able to have a quick bite to eat in a rest stop without extending them. The kitchen slide intrudes into the under awning space. The kitchen island gains you counter space, but at the expense of floorspace.

    Yup. That's the best of the three, IMHO.
