looking for a specific floorpan

I presently have a Cherokee Grey Wolf, 26 ft. with one slide and I'm thinking of upgrading to a larger one. I really like the floor plans of the Rockwood 2906 WS and it's identical twin, the Flagstaff 29KSWS. I like the opposing slides that allow viewing the TV from directly across the unit, but I'm having trouble finding used TT's like that. Any other ideas regarding similar/identical units would be appreciated. I need to limit the size because I will be pulling it with a F150 even though it'll be parked at my campsite on the La. coast and I don't intend to travel with it. (Those days are over with). Any advice would be appreciated.
  • Well, hallelujah! I finally found what appears to be a great travel trailer with a great floorplan for my needs. It is a 2016 Open Range 308BHS. I am the second owner and the quality of the manufacture appears very high. I had to correct a couple of deficiencies, but they were mostly minor. The original owners were a couple who used to camp with their sons, but, as usual, the sons grew up and developed other interests so they were downsizing. The couple were extremely nice in pointing out the minor discrepancies and I've got most of them corrected. There is one thing, however, that I could use the RV community's help on: the seating arrangement is a very nice, extremely large couch that has two small tables that mount on "monopoles" that wobble excessively. In spite of trying to tighten them up, I think the design itself is the problem because every small "looseness" in tolerance is exaggerated until the wobble/shake is excessive. I noticed that the base is actually mounted on top of the carpet, which, by itself inserts some "looseness". Just wondering if anyone who has faced this has found an aftermarket "fix"?
  • ~34 foot opposing slide rear living might be one of the most popular floorplans out there. Unless there's zero inventory locally you should have no problem finding one. Now what they'll be asking for it might be another matter.
  • The tow vehicle is the least important part of my decision. I can always find a work around, but I'm committed to stay somewhat smaller, but slightly larger than what I presently have. The floor plan is the biggie with me. Most TT's have the TV/entertainment center on one end or the other which makes for tough viewing. With opposing slides, it'll make it easy to view the TV from either the dining table/booth or the couch/recliners. Also, I like the corner shower aspect which will give a big guy like me room to move around.
  • ^Or could just rent an F250 for a couple of days whenever you need to move it.
  • Can’t help on finding what you want, but my advice would be don’t limit what you get based on your F150. If you truly are just going to park it, pay someone to haul it if necessary.
