Rear slide RV's that are less than 25 feet
Hello, I am looking to purchase an RV with rear slide bed that is less than 25 feet long. Anyone have a recommendation? I have been looking at the Jayco Jayfeather x254. Thanks in advance.

We looked at the rear slide a few years ago. Our biggest concerns were:
1) I'm 6' tall and would have to lay across the TT because of the bed size, and thus crawl over each other to get out of bed (no walk around on the sides).
Our Jayco 26P (same slide in Jayco's current offering will have no problem with anyone 6 foot or taller. It is a king bed and you lay front to back. There is no climbing over anyone.
2) The slide does not provide any privacy other than a curtain, similar to a PU camper. The slide also has very limited cabinet/storage area.
[COLOR=]Plenty storage for us with overhead cabinets across the entire rear.
True, there is less privacy but how much privacy do you really have in a travel trailer.
3) Very difficult to move around inside the TT when the slide is not extended out.
We don't camp with the slide in. This goes for any RV with a slide.
4) Requires folding of other furniture such as couches/dinettes in order to retract slide.
[COLOR=]Our couch has to be folded down...takes 2 seconds max.
5) Potential for future water leaks.
Mine is in its 6 year with two slides and no leaks. As we all know any RV can leak slide or no slide. A rear slide is no more prone to leak than any other slide.
The real benefit in my book is I have a 29 foot trailer when towing that is over 35 feet with slide extended. Bedroom really opens up the floor plan where IMO is needed.
