We were heavily considering a Bullet 310BHS for our next camper and LOVED the opposing slides and the room and storage it has. What I didn't like was the fact that it was over 36 feet in length as I don't want a trailer that long.
The other trailer with a kitchen slide that we liked was the Sunset Trail 240BI. Nice layout, but it's a lot shorter than the 310BHS and therefore only has a dinette (no couch) which is a no-go for us.
I would love a 30ft, double over double BH trailer that also had kitchen slide, but I have not seen this offered by any manufacturer yet.
Yeah, the length of these things bothers me a little, but ours is a tad under 30 ft, so I'm sure I can manage 36 ft. I like that 240BI, but agree with you about the couch. We have the double over double bunks. Not a huge fan after I've had that for a while. Often we are camping where it is hot and very humid, so I like the idea of the separate bunk room for the kids to go have some "chill" time out of the sun and the grown ups can have a little separate space to unwind and cool off. Another thing I like about the island models is they often put the bathroom next to the master bed vs others usually put it by the bunk room or bunk beds. In the evenings we sit out til late and go in and out to the potty, so I like the idea of not disturbing them.
I'm still torn though on island or no island, but leaning towards island. I guess I was looking for someone to come along and say "we tried that with kids and it was way too cramped trying to maneuver throughout the camper." So glad I haven't read that yet. Whatever we do next will be our last camper purchase for a long time. This AR-ONE was kind of the "warm up" camper. :-)
