Trailers where slides do NOT block access?
My travel partner is wanting out of his current Coachmen trailer, to upgrade somewhat and have something with a slide. He wants something with a better quality of materials and insulation, easily set...

We'll have to disagree about ducted air. I don't think I've have another trailer that didn't have ducted air. Our last one didn't,
and it was loud and by definition it couldn't cool the front and bathroom like it could the main living area. And it was loud.
My new trailer, the first with ducted AC, works much better. I feel it does keep all areas the same temperature, and it certainly doesn't seem as loud. And if quick cool down of the main living area is needed, just open the vents and let it dump straight down.
Also, my previous trailers that didn't have ducted air didn't have thermostat controlled AC. I had to manually cut it off and on to keep the air the right temperature. My ducted ac unit has a thermostat control on the wall. I can set it and forget it now. The AC thermostat takes care of everything.

I also like the larger tank capacities of the Lance. Jayco is skimpy with their tanks.
It does not.
IME the ducted systems don't do a very good job of distributing air, particularly to the bedroom. The ducts are way too small.
Also the ducted system does nothing to reduce noise that I can tell. The overhead unit still runs the same. The only one I've ever been around that was excessively noisy, turned out to have a fan bearing going bad.
