Follow up: I got a call from Keystone to answer my challenge that their design doesn't meet the standard. (I might have made that challenge on BBB yesterday).
By her explanation, they are technically meeting the standard by designating the sleeping area as attached to the living area and unobstructed to the main exit. So I guess I at least feel better knowing that they've done the absolute minimum they could do.
Since I've come this far, I might as well try to talk to somebody over at NFPA and confirm their interpretation.
NFPA 1192 6.2.1.2-Each sleeping area shall have two different paths to escape to the outside of the recreational vehicle.
NFPA 1192 provides no clear definition of what separates a "sleeping area" from a "living area".
Here is a link to an older recall regarding Keystone and egress windows. Those recalls have come up more than a few times and its not always Keystone.
KEYSTONEBy looking at pictures and the floorplan. By Keystone using a curtain between the bunk area and living area as opposed to a physical "door", I think they have you in a corner so to speak, and have the NFPA code covered.
Now the NHTSA also has something to say about it, but good luck finding it in the tons of gubmint gobbleygook.
