Keystone Passport 199ML or a R Vision 200S ?
Which would you choose and why ?
(If you need some background:
I'm looking to buy new. My TV is a 2011 Nissan Pathfinder V6; empty nester looking for a camper for only 2. I'm keeping to a 20-22 ft length maxium and a dry weight of 3500 or under. Looking for a walk around Queen bed with a slide need an oven too. I went to the Hershey Pa. show, and another NJ show just this weekend, so I've seen many manufactures and types of RVs.)

We like the couch over the dinettes any day for comfort. During fair weather you usually are eating outside anyway. Walk around beds are nice too. Access to fridge would be a deal breaker for me too. We are happy with Keystone quality. You can get a swing out TV mount to resolve the TV issue. I am sure you noticed but the passport line has plenty of storage also. Good luck in our decision. Be aware out passport did not come with towel hooks or TP holders.

Thank you for all the information
I will go this weekend to see the Passport 199ML. It might make sence to go with that because it is hard to find R-Vision campers here in the North East NY. At the R-Vision web site, I searched for a dealer in New York, New Jersey and Pa., but there were none listed. How far am I willing to go to a dealership from where I live in NY ? That could be a problem for service issues.

The R-Vision WILL block your fridge when the slide is closed. This could be an important consideration if you pull over to have lunch, etc.
if true, that would be a deal breaker for me!
Us also. You've got to be able to get stuff.

The problem with the R Vision is that the slide blocks the refrigerator when in. I can live without television, but don't want to extend the slide to reach the fridge when stopping for lunch. And that slide is very deep, especially compared to the Passport. While it creates a really nice sitting area (especially with the table removed), I have a distrust of any slide that is nearly as deep as the camper that is holding it up. The Keystone slide, being less deep, will weigh less and have fewer potential mechanical problems IMHO.
I like the way you think !

pass port is better because of regular tub and not neoangle crap. But TV veiwing will be a pain on the couch,but coach more comfy.
The vision has the slide... More room and better TV angle. Neoangle showers stink IMO.. And not a fan of the dinette being used as a couch. Not comfortable
Jayco 221 has nice floor plan IMO for your weight and two people...

That jayco IS really nice, but too long and a little heavier than I want to go.

R Vision 200S
You can open the slide while on the road and attached but easier to just put lunch in a small ice chest for short road stops.
Try the shower stall...our first had a tub like the other choice and you could not bend over and pickup a dropped bar of soap in it. Our garden shower is useable.
Be sure that the trailer GVWR is well with in the planned tow vehicle's rating. Do not go by dry weight.
