Apex 251rbk bathroom access

We are interested in an Apex 251rbk. Can anyone confirm that you can access the bathroom when the slide is in? The bathroom door swings out - is there room to swing past the kitchen counter when the slide is in?
Any parts of rv or storage areas inaccessible when the slide is in?
Any quality concerns in recent years?
Thanks for any info.

From what I see on the Coachman 3D graphic it's going to be a tight squeeze between the sofa and dinette back to the kitchen with the slide retracted. I guess it all depends on how big you are. Doesn't look like you'll have access to the kitchen drawers, dinette storage or lower kitchen storage, either. If your small enough you may be able to squeeze back there to access the bathroom.

Looking at the floor plan, it looks like the kitchen cabinet access should be ok. The slide isn’t as deep as many models so I think the passage way remaining when the slide is in should give enough room to open the kitchen cabinets,
Does anyone have first hand experience with this model to verify?

Confirming that because this is a shallow slide, we can access all storage areas and the bathroom with the slide pulled in.

Hopefully someone with the unit will tell you. Can you go see one locally? That was a requirement for us when looking. I had a couple dealers close the slide so I could see if things were accessible when slide was closed. A couple of the Apex models were not accessible, but I can't remember which.
