All in all this line will definitely be on the short list as they have a dealer only 20 miles away from us.

The 303RKS was the first floorplan that we saw and we loved it from the start. However, we did take our time to think about it and looked at several floorplans including the 305 RES, but kept going back to the 303RKS.
The 305RES is a great floorplan with a very large living area, but there are a few reasons we liked the 303RKS better.
First, my wife liked the kitchen in the 303RKS better. More counter space.
Second, the two swivel chairs in the slideout looked like a tight fit to me. In the 303RKS the chairs have more space and a small table between.
Third, the 305RES and 303RKS had the most room at the foot of the bed than any other Lacrosse's, but the linen/wardrobe slide in the 303RKS gives more room to the bathroom and bedroom.
The one thing to look out for on the 303RKS is the tongue weight. They had to move the axles back because of the entry door location which resulted in a heavier tongue weight than other LaCrosse trailers. So be sure your tv has the payload capacity to handle it.
You may have different preferences, but those are the reasons we chose the 303RKS over the 305RES. Either way you won't lose, it's a Prime Time!
