- zackyboy3rsExplorerI have heard the same about rear kitchens. The actual dry weight as it sits is 7020.

There used to be complaint about the rear kitchen trailer. Thing falling out of the cabinets, but today's trailers have a batter ride. At a dry weight of 7,720 lbs.; and adding your cargo, the ride shouldn't be too bad.
I like the floor-plan. - BillB800siExplorerA couple of things:
Frig will be blocked by the dining slide when it's in. Just something to consider. Also where do you put the waste basket?
Personally I'm not a big fan of aluminum sided trailers.
If you're interested in a hard side trailer with a similar floor plan then take a look at the new 2014 Lacrosse 333RKS
Clicky here: LaCrosse
Note the size of the bathroom and the 12 cubic foot frig. Nice trailer.
Happy trails, - John_HExplorerThey were a good trailer before Winnebago took them over. We have a '99 30' 5th since '01 with only two minor issues. Don't know if winney messed with their quality or not, They were one of the very first with total aluminum framing. Pros & cons on that one point, but we would buy another.

Found out to late it was an easier fix. Sure wish we had that rig! Nice bathroom ours had a rear living room, sure liked that.
- zackyboy3rsExplorerPros: big living area, Hugh bathroom, separate bedroom, place to install a recliner.
Cons: hide a bed & u - dinette must be used for beds, rear kitchen (does it create any problems with the frame?)
What else?
