Front Living Rooms... yea or nay?

Too many stairs!! C'mon fellas, what have we become? I suppose you don't climb any stairs to get into your RV. What about the stairs into a front BR (granted, you're not "climbing" them as often)? I submit that if you can't negotiate the "stairs" of an FL model, you should find a nice comfy retirement community to spend your last days. With that said, I believe you either love the FL layout or hate it. I've yet to meet someone that was on the fence. We happen to love ours but it's purely a feeling related to your personal taste. We had as much of a FL floorplan in our last TT (master BR in the rear with kitchen and LR all up front. We really enjoyed that layout and when we moved to a fifth we immediately starting looking for something similar and found it in the FL. The BIG disadvantage is lack of storage in the basement, which in FL models is quite small. However, we've learned to compensate for that in other ways.

Good luck.
