We have one in the family and you are right about the tiny outside storage on the curb side. The pack and play door plus flip up rear bed do make storage of large items like bikes very handy. The king bed is nice but the OEM mattress was very thin in 2012 and needed replacement to be comfortable. One other quirk is the door only opens 90 degrees as it interferes with the awning beyond that. Not a deal breaker, just something to be aware of. Otherwise a really nice compact layout that has worked well for many seasons.
