floorplan question; slideouts blocking refer while in

[outwestbound]

Hi. Couple looking to buy a 29-31 (box size, overall 35-36)TT for min 2 year full-time road trip. I must have a rear living room plan with opposing slides and prefer a kitchen island, but island not critical. With slides in, some plans (island plans it seems) eliminate access to the entire kitchen including all appliances. Of the ones I've found with islands, some are designed to allow access to refer and pantry (slides in). With slides out, the refer/ pantry locations seem silly, until I figured out its due to providing access. All allow access to bedroom and bath, regardless. I've never lived in a TT or road tripped like this, but estimate 20% boondocking/ walmarts and the balance in parks.

How important is it that at least the refer/ pantry be accessible when the slides are in?

Thanks so much for any advice on buying right the first time.

With the only slide in we have access to every part of the rig from front to back. Access to the potty is a must and it's nice to be able to get cold drinks out of the refer and wash hands in the sink. It's your choice; obviously.
