Trailers where slides do NOT block access?
My travel partner is wanting out of his current Coachmen trailer, to upgrade somewhat and have something with a slide. He wants something with a better quality of materials and insulation, easily set...

We have the Lance 1885 (rebranded 1995) and we can get from front to back with the slide in, and open the fridge partway, enough to get food in and out of and get into the bathroom.
It is only 19' long, which we find plenty big enough for the 2 of us. We down-sized from a 24' last spring.
- It does not have a separate bedroom with door however, and I know that was one of OP's requirements.
- It does have a regular house-sized queen bed, not a camper short queen.
- We were told that if we were to custom order a Lance 2295 we could order it without the large entertainment system and wall. After taking a tour through the Lance factory, I can see that they could make it to those specs. I didn't like that entertainment wall as the space between the foot of the bed and that wall was very tight. If I wanted the wall I would not have the entertainment system included. Accordion doors could easily be added to shut away the bedroom.
Lance's are more expensive than Jayco's and some of the other brands, but we have found that it seems to be better made. We are very happy with ours. I do understand not being able to see different brands/models to compare. Maybe you will be able to find a long weekend to go somewhere that has several dealers/brands that you can view and compare.
