With the slides in: Can you fully use the kitchen, bathroom, and access the bed and/or the closets on the other side of the bed. What a PIA to have to open a slide everytime for just a nature call on the road or to get a sweater/jacket etc if the weather changes, spill something, or maybe it gets a lot hotter in the afternoon and you want some different duds to wear. After just over 50 years of RVing now, we've been well educated and know what works and what creates problems!
It's all a matter of opinion. Our new FW with the slides in has access to one side of the fridge (one of the two freezers), the bathroom, and the bedroom. With the bed slide in, you would have to climb over the bed to get to the closet. That works for us. I agree that bathroom access is critical. The TT we traded in for the new FW had the bathroom in the back and it was inaccessible with the slides in.
X2. I didn't want to camp in a refrigerator box, so having those big beautiful slides block that big beautiful island was AOK by us! Kind of a "no brainer" :) I'm just betting that's why they make different models for different folks, ya think?
There are people here who like 17 ft, no slides, stick-and-tin Lancers. Different strokes.
