small trailer with slide out

For me, one reason I traded my former trailer, HiLo 22L was due to the east west sleeping arrangement. I wanted an island bed so neither of us had to crawl over the other in order to use the facilities in the middle of the night. And at my age, it happens a lot more that it used to.

So we got the Koala 21CS which is 24 ft bumper to ball. Of course another plus is the spacious corner glass enclosed shower. Would never trade that for another curtain enclosed shower.

But the 21CS does have a slide that opens up the living/galley area.

Fun Finder also has a 210UDS with the dinning slide and a walk around queen at just under 22ft. My inlaws have a 2009 Fun Finder 210WBS which they love and is awsome for the 2 of them. Big bathroom, walkaround queen, and the couch on a slide. Their's is the older version of this trailer which is lower and 7.5ft wide instead of 8. It is very easy to tow. This floor plan is now the Shadow Crusier 195WBS

And regarding comparing, lets say the 210UDS vs my 189FDS, let's talk about the bed layout. Because the bed on the longer trailer runs north-south, that means it is using 80 inches from front of trailer to foot of bed. In my floorplan, since the bed is east-west, it only uses 54 inches from the front of the trailer. There is the biggest difference of the length of the trailer. In other words, I end up with almost the same number of sq ft of usuable daytime floorspace in a overall package that is shorter and slightly lighter. The 210 gains a more user friendly bed area. I travel solo, so the bed issue is a non starter for me. It's more time consuming to make the bed though on my layout, if that matters to a person.
Bottom line for me was the bed area usability is less important than day time use floorspace.
