rear kitchen

getting ready to get my first trailer. as anyone know if a rear kitchen travel trailer pulls any difference from an rear living trailer. I am looking at a 28-30 foot trailer dry weight about 6300 lbs.

Congratulations and welcome to the world of travel trailers!
Apparently there are several people that feel that rear kitchen equipped campers tow differently or need to be modified in order to tow correctly.
We bought our rear kitchen in 2013 and have not modified the suspension in any way. Our refrigerator is on the back wall and works great. Items do not move around any more than any other trailer. Our camper isn't the "fanciest" trailer ever made, but it is solid and works very well. When on the road, we can access the kitchen and the bathroom without opening the slide at all. Very handy. The bathroom is huge as far at TT's go and the queen bed is a walk around.
The downside to a rear kitchen in a small box (like you are describing) is the lack of a separate living room. For us, the dinette and jack knife sofa are the only places to sit. When the weather is bad we have to pull the television out on it's arm in order to see it from the sofa and dinette at the same time.
Our slide is very shallow. The slide is eleven feet wide, but only eighteen inches deep. However, the floor is built up about nine inches or so, with the sofa mounted directly on it (no feet or legs), this means that I can't change the jack knife sofa out for a regular, more comfortable sofa. Of course, in order to get a large bedroom and a huge bathroom, with a good sized kitchen, I'd either have to have a longer trailer or lose the living room. Got to give a little to get a little.
