Here's a thought, let me compare the 2 slide floorplans we looked at compared to our 26BH. The 2 were the Jay Flight 28BHS and the Jay Flight Swift 267BHS.
Our family is 4 in my camper. 3 people can comfortably sit on the sofa and 4 can sit at the dinette.
The sofa is comfortable but the dinette is not nearly as comfortable. We have sleeping for 7, 2 in the double bed, 1 in the bunk above it, 2 in the queen bed and 1 at the dinette and 1 on the sofa.
We can watch the TV from the dinette and the sofa, meaning 5 can watch TV.
The 28BHS has all the same seating and the same sleeping, it just has a bigger kitchen counter. We don't normally cook at all in the kitchen as we grill outside when camping. So the gain here wouldn't be used. We do lose TV watching for 2 as the TV can only be view by the sofa or the dinette individually, not at the same time. Plus the slide doesn't gain width space but allows the same space in the walkway we have but with the sofa length wise, freeing up length space for the extended kitchen.
So with the 28BHS, we gained a bigger kitchen, lost TV viewing, and for such, reqruired a 1/4 slide out and extra weight and expense.
The 267BHS (now the Jay Flight 26BHS) has the same sleeping areas, but loses sofa sitting to only 2 persons. Plus the TV is at a 45 to 80 degree angle from the sitting areas unless you had a swing arm mount.
The previous 267BHS lost a lot of features and options that I found unacceptable for an upgrade from our then current Jay Flight 19BH.
So we lost a lot of features with the 267BHS, lost sitting area on the Sofa, gained a lot of weight near 1000 lbs and require the slide, and have an additional cost of $2500.
It was a no brainer for us to stick with the same
floorplan we had in the 19BH and add a
queen bed to that floorplan.
