I have been doing a lot of research on those floor plans. Playing around with many at the dealerships. The one thing I noticed was that when using the burners of the kitchen (cooking bacon!) and washing in the sink etc... , you kind of stare right into the kitchen slide. So, you can't see directly to the front of the TT. The outside covered space was decreased a very small amount, not enough to really make a difference. IMO. Every one sets up differently so only you can decide. We actually rarely use our awning as I like to look up and see the stars! Most large outside kitchens are covered by the large door when they are opened anyway, so not really a big deal if 24" is taken away by the slide.
