Do you ever wonder what's up with floorplans?

What I hate about our current one is that the hood fan is not right over the stovetop, rather it's set back to where it only covers the back by a few inches. While this vents okay if you are using the oven, it's useless for using the stove top. Camper ceiling fills with heat and fumes if we try to use it.

We looked at three TT models at the dealer. Ironically, the TT we selected was the one that had a TV already installed, in a console that swivels around so it can be watched from either the master bedroom or the living area. This was a big factor for the DW. Unfortunately it was the most expensive model....

Here is the floorplan we really like, and have our eye on as a possible upgrade in a year or two. It's a Rockwood Ultra Lite 2604WS. The model was new in 2013. We like the layout, the super slide, and the wardrobe slide, so it looks to be quite spacious for a 28'8" TT. A free-standing dinette is an option, which is our preference. I'd be curious about any comments about this floorplan.

Question - does the countertop extension fold down? If not, It looks like you couldn't get around it when the slide is in.

I guess it's the same reason we have multiple flavors of ice cream too.. Not one flavor suits everyone..

I'm just a weekend 'camper' and don't need or want to haul a #9000, 4 slide, 3 television equipped TT to go 'camping'... :)

I've got 5 televisions in my house and that works for me, but when I go 'camping', I do bring the little 19" and the portable DVD player to watch a movie before bed time and if we can get the local news, I'll watch it in the AM/PM to get the local weather report, but that's all I want from it... At home, I'm a TV freak! I love my TVs! But, 'camping', all I want is to disconnect for a few days and enjoy not knowing anything! (except for the weather...)

Anyway, we all 'camp' the way we want to and that's great.. I wonder why folks do what they do and I'm sure they wonder about me too... That's just the way it is and that's fine with me...

In the end, hopefully you get the floorplan that works for you and that's all that matters... When I order my ice cream, I don't turn around and ask the person behind me if that's what they are going to get too... :)

Enjoy.. :)

I have to agree... I do not understand why manufacturers put a television in a spot that makes you turn your head to watch. We are lucky. Our TV is across from the couch and rocker. Who wants to watch a TV above the entry door???

That's something we looked for when choosing a floor plan. A few other things, but I'd say inside cabinet storage and walk-around bed were pretty important.

Is there pantry storage above?

There are cabinets above the kitchen area, and of course, lower cabinets also, if that is what you mean.

Not at all sure who you're asking since you didn't quote anyone.

Did you not look before you bought?

Just Google "carefree skylight shade", and a few venders pop up.

An eBay seller had one for $100 and I also found one here for a little over $60 although I can't vouch for the seller.
