I didn't know that !!  I need to ask more questions before our final decision. |
Chap, Montana changed the 293RK floorplan for this year.
It's now longer, heavier and there are some good and bad interior changes.
The 293RK is our favorite but don't like most of the new changes.
We'll have to find one of the older years if we get one.

X2. We have a Coachmen Brookstone 325RL and we love it. It meets most of the OP's criteria with the exception of using the dinette with the slides in. You would, however, be able to run that slide out hooked to your TV and it is on the curb-side. Probably not exactly what the OP was thinking but it might work.

The missus has already made it perfectly clear..........she must have cross ventilation in the bedroom.

That model is almost 38' long, but I like the floor plan. Can you open the fridge with the slide in ?? And what size is the fridge.

Thanks for bringing that model to my attention. No offense, but I think I like the baby 325RL (315RL) better. If the island is movable (non sink version), then the kitchen might be fully accessible, and the trailer is under 35' long.

None taken. We also liked the 315 but went ahead and got the bigger of the two - we felt like it would protect us from upgrade-itis. While this is our first trailer, it seemed like everyone we knew started small(er) and eventually traded-up for something bigger. We decided to skip all that nonsense.
