New Crusader Floorplan 297rsk, same as 295rst plus outside kitchen

Has anyone seen the new prime time crusader 297rsk? It's the 295rst with the addition of an outside kitchen. I also noticed they added a much needed window above the stove area.

These are 2 things we've always wished our 2014 295rst had.

It would've been nicer to see that gorgeous ledge stone they usually do on the outside kitchens.

A few plus and a few minus for me. I dislike outside kitchens so that is a huge negative in my book. To each their own.

Love that window near the stove. Love that they ditched the carpet at the stop of the stairs. Carpet is evil (pets + winter camping).

Stainless galley sink. Huge plus.

Really dislike losing the storage beside the entertainment area. We use that a lot.

I also like the control center. Nice placement.

Also not a fan of the norcold fridge. Way too many issues with that style of fridge.

I am guessing the central vac is not part of the build now either? Too bad.

LOVE that you can now option in thermal windows. Tank heaters (not 100% sure if that is standard or not) would be fantastic as well.

I completely agree about the carpet on the steps leading to the bedroom. 😝 I noticed that too but didn't know what model year made that change. 👍🏼

I like the outside kitchen idea. I like the kitchen window. I also like the closet being removed in the bedroom to add a end table. Although it's not my side of the bed . None of this is earth shattering for me. If I had to do over again I may have moved up a bit to that 322 res ( I believe) . I wish I had windows overlooking the outside area by door.

Nothing I would trade for. Not an outside kitchen guy. Too many leak issues. I wonder if the slide undersides and front cap are fixed?
If I was to buy again I'd be looking for a floor plan like the 295 but with the big slides reversed. Kitchen on utility pole side and couch on patio side. Reflection has one like that.
