Has anyone ever had a front kitchen 5'er?

The layout on the Infinity seems really poorly thought out. With double slides they have the potential for an enormous amount of counter space and the whole front end is taken up with a booth dinette.

OK....now I see why they died out. We went to see a 2006 model today and I see why this floor plan does not work.

At 40', the living room felt very cramped, because the openness between the kitchen and living area have been cut off by the different levels.

too many trips up the stair for me.

To me a kitchen up front doesn't make a whole lot of sense.
Different for sure.

Gimick floor plans die quickly.

Leave the front kitchens to the TT's...

Spacecraft Mfg brought one to the Good Sam Rally here in Phoenix. While I liked the quality of the unit, their design lost so much of the basement I wouldn't even consider it.

Wouldn't a front kitchen increase the pin weight quite a bit?

Kitchen up the stairs? Forget about it.

Only problem I see is heat rises in a 5er. The front upper bedroom stays warmer in a standard 5th wheel. So if you're cooking, washing dishes, then I can imagine the upper kitchen would be too warm to cook in part of the year. Good excuse to only cook outside.

Even though, the Infinity looks nice because it's so open. I like the looks of the Front Living Rm, too, but not sure it's as practical as the standard floor plan.

Yes! That is the one that my second link it to. Beautiful!

I saw one at the Tampa RV show earlier this year. It was a custom manufactured 5th wheel by Starcraft. The kitchen was lovely and the RV was pretty spacious. However, the custom made RV was pretty pricey.
