I like rear living. What I don't like is no windows on the curb side, our Montana HC 305RL had a great view of our neighbors sewer hose.

George, now that you have beaten the 'fever' into submission, make sure you and Momma don't speak this phrase when traveling: "Oh, baby, let's just go in and look around. That won't hurt." Guess how I know this.

As fairly experienced campers, we pretty much agree on our druthers as far as the floorplan and features. Some of things are more important to the missus and some to me but we generally agree. A few months back we almost sprang for a 31' Crossroads travel trailer; had a door going to the bedroom, rear kitchen, nice layout as far as the television in the cabin and 50A w/2 A/C units. Price was right. We put money down (it was a 2014) and I kept thinking about the Thomas Payne furniture shedding its pleather as well as the plether in the booth dinette. The window valances also had that stuff and they were shedding. We got home and mutually agreed that while this camper had virtually all the things we were looking for, replacing all that nasty pealing pleather was an unappealing throught. It also didn't have auto stabilizers which I was looking for and no rear ladder so not sure if the roof was walkable. The roof had not been serviced in some time and needed Dicor touch up and the dealer said he would do this but... just didn't smell right for both of us in the end.

I love my floor plan, the recliners are great, the couch would be better if they also recline, but that the bed, plenty of counter space

That camper is 6 feet longer than our current but is a nice floor plan. Note in my original post, noted our length need be below about 31-32' due our parking slot.

You know you can probably fix that in a couple of hours with a blade. Then get the trailer you really want.
P.S. I can run the equipment for whiskey

Sticking with our 276RLS. It lives much bigger than it is and is shorter and much lighter than our old 32 ft fiver.

Ditto!
Ours is a 2007 Sprinter. We have looked at a lot of other newer trailers but love the Rear Living with the big windows and the cargo capacity is much higher than the newer trailers.

we have the 291RLS floor plan in our 2012 cougar high country. I removed one of the recliner near the slide because every time you want to close the slide you need to lift that heavy chair on the sofa. Not the best floor plan but for the two of us it's ok. Now the DW kinda mentioned that maybe a toy hauler would be something to consider for our motorcycles and other toys, will see !!

Our parking slip backs up to the power pole for my shops with the feeder lines running in conduit over the ground. Not much chance to extend to the rear. If I buried the lines, we have a chain link fence with the bottom buried in concrete (dogs can't dig out) right behind so thinking extending isn't in the cards. If I am careful, I can get back another couple feet thus the ability to park a 5th wheel of a bit over 30'. The steep slope coming into the slot doesn't allow for any forward parking as the front of my camper is as low as it can get now.

Toy hauler floorplans are often not that great for camping once you get the bikes out. Our Forest River X-Lite 22XL was an example. Since it was compact, had no slides, no storage, no pantry, no counter space and the missus hated it. The television mount was up near the ceiling on top the cabinet that housed the 6 cu. ft. refrigerator. When we went camping, had to store almost all of our stuff on the useless to us queen bunk in the garage. Much larger toy hauler get around most of these short comings but at the time, I didn't have the truck for one of the huge campers nor a place to park it level.

On my 291RLS we just need to rotate the chairs 90 degrees and the slide fits past them.

Heres them rotated facing out. Are yours the original chairs? Maybe there were enough feedback that Keystone changed chair sizes to fit.
