*Hey guys - so turns out I had a dingbat moment (hard to believe.. I know..) the reason I didn’t see theater seating as an available option was because IT’S ACTUALLY STANDARD!! LOLOLOL* _-Uncle Josh the Dingbat_

[@jameskennedy673]

Josh that’s what happens when you’re playing in the rain 🤣🤣

[@AaronBridges]

Lol. I had to delete my comment because I said it definitely need that option. Glad they have it. I dig it for a weekend warrior camper.

[@stephaniesebring6118]

That's perfect & makes perfect sense. I hope you had a great time off, with your family. 😊

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

@@jameskennedy673 so much fun btw lol

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

@@AaronBridges I mean you answered what I asked. I just asked a stupid question hahaa

[@TheCloudX]

This looks perfect other than the dinette. Would love a traditional table/chair set up.

[@MatthewIrvine]

This is by far the best couples camper I have seen to date! Pantry AND trashcan space AND a bathroom worthy of chili night. It's the Travel Trailer Trifecta! Happy to see on the GD site, theater seating is standard and the trifold is optional. Since I don't like overnight guests, I don't want anywhere comfy for them to get the idea 😉. Two things I think I would change. One is the bedside storage. I would prefer a cutout in or shelf behind the closet. Second is I would like an option for a table instead of the dinette.

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

I am still loving this thing. Easily in my personal top 5 couples models

[@richardbalding1101]

I love the bathroom. I wish some of the shorter options had a bathroom like that. I would drop the open storage area in the bathroom and expand the shower a bit. I would add theater seat for sure.

[@richardbalding1101]

Is there a laminated version of this? I would also be interested in a bit shorter version.

[@scottmullins8726]

RB 221 has almost same layout, but would've been cramped for me and the wife.

[@frankhaynes8101]

This R.V. Has everything that I want in a r v , can use booth and sofa and everything else is in the slide and a private bedroom, everything can be in use with out the slide out , I am planning to buy one them this summer, this beats all of ones that I have been looking at for the last two years

[@LTZ_Z71]

Great review. The only thing I see that would have been a very nice extra would be if the awning went all the way to the rear. Looks like it could have been another 18"-24".

[@asanablue]

Like this. 💜 "Buffalo Print" is very southwestern and I like this. It can be a theme. And, I use a electric heater which has fake flames. And, 👍like the bed because only requirement is ability to walk around bed so easier to put on off bedding.

[@donnasmith9939]

I am VERY happy with the trifold sofa! Don’t want fireplace here in Louisiana, don’t need it! I would be very happy with this one!!! We are 3-4 person campers and I love this one.

[@ForestGreen88]

I love road mode in this one! I also love the front cap with no window since our county likes to chip seal the roads. I'm not a big fan of the open shelving although I really like the bathroom space otherwise. The other complaints I have are fairly nitpicky, for instance, I'd love a shelf behind the bedside closet because those just look so handy, perfect place for my glasses and charging my tablet while reading my e-book.

[@chomp54321]

I am pretty much set on a small 5th wheel but this actually makes me rethink that. I like everything (really rare) except for two things, which you've pointed out: dark(ish) colour and the need to lean forward to use the stove, especially the back burner. A theater seat option would be really nice. Thanks for doing such a great top reviewing this TT.

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

@@JoshtheRVNerd I misunderstood you then. My bad. Good to know.

I really like this one and the only thing I think that would make it even better is to use the bottom of the bathroom cabinet for a outdoor fridge!

I was dead set on finding a camper to fit my tahoe, but darn it Josh, this thing has me looking at trucks now. I love this floor plan. Not perfect, but best I've seen so far, and nothing that I couldn't live with

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

I get it. This one has that effect. It's just... man it's so good

[@tedlov06]

Awesome floor plan. Thanks for sharing Josh👍👍

[@edpeck645]

Josh, you are correct as usual, the only thing I would even think about changing is the theater seats, but the sleep sofa is not a deal breaker. Thanks for a beautiful RV.

[@toddpike2009]

Thanks for this great video. We bought a 2022 260RB from another dealer sorry it wasn't from Bish's but you're along way from us. Anyway we love it!!!! Keep up the great work you are very helpful in all your videos.

No worries! Greta choice on the rv! If my videos were helpful, then would you mind dropping me a review at g.page/r/CdPcitNVx2nDEAg/review by chance?

[@stevefisher8424]

Josh, we truly love this RV. We love that kitchen slide and all those drawers and cabinets. It’s an amazing thing!!! This rocketed to the top of our list. We thought we had one picked already then we saw this. We may make a 525 mile trip to buy one and maybe meet you.

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

I think this is my personal favorite couple’s rv

[@jofrazier-hansen4097]

Excellent floor plan, great storage, and a private bedroom. This one is a contender on my list of possible buy.

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

The more time I spent in it.. the more I liked it. Had to get out of there before I started checking payments myself lol :)

[@jeffreytull5767]

Both my wife and I agree that this is an amazing design! Love all the windows and the road mode. Its a little long for my taste, so I hope that in coming years GD applies this to shorter models. My two complaints: cabinet doors in bathroom (stuff will be everywhere) and disjointed kitchen. At the very least, switch the fridge and stove. And a minor nitpick... that light in the pantry seems great for the top shelf but not much else. I wish they'd put an LED strip down a side or under each shelf, if they feel the need to do anything. Great video, emperor!

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

Quick question - what do you feel could be sacrificed to try to shorten this one up?

[@jeffreytull5767]

@@JoshtheRVNerd I would reduce the bed to RV Queen, remove part of the bathroom counter so it's more "traditional" and turn the shower so that you can shorten the bathroom. That bathroom would be great for full timers, but if I'm only using it for trips then more compact would be fine. Finally, if you really want to get jiggy with it, you could center the wall with the sink and reduce it to 1 counter, creating a second "entry" to the bedroom, then you could push it flush with bed. I know, makes for cramped quarters, but refer to my full timer comment. =) I'm no RV designer... but i play one on youtube. =}

[@larrylove9589]

The wife stores all sorts of items in the bathroom shelves and nothing has ever fallen out in transport.

[@greggkiest1069]

Love this concept.

[@micheleobrien64]

Yay! Tcl roku! My favorite! I love mine! Now make it a bit bigger.😯😀🤣🤣

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

Their TVs do seem to be on the small side

[@chuckspencer5296]

OK Josh.... I really like this one... and, the over all kitchen storage, and the kitchen slide is executed nicely in this model, but I do wish the stove and frigerator were swapped so that the stove was closer to the sink. Maybe, they could push the counter and the stove out to the edge of the slide more so that there wouldn't be the worry of the leaning over the stove. I'd also like to see them make the bedroom TV spot be actually on the wall at the foot of the bed, but ehhh, no biggie there. The bathroom is so large and in charge with a nice sized shower!!! Over all, I'm impressed with this one!!!

[@aguyandhiscomputer]

Bedroom TV: Have to check the path of the sliding door. Would probably hit it.

[@MrMadmanUSA]

I agree with the flip.

[@Gyalog44]

Ditto. But No electric outlet in 3 mirror bathroom! Not for me!!!

[@cliffarend8455]

[@nans969]

This one is what we were looking to upgrade to. Wonderful layout. And, we travel with a cat. Down side of traveling with a cat,, is where to put the litter box.. There is room in the bathroom for that. And no carpet.

[@terryw5414]

Looked at one today. Absolutely amazing. Alot of thought put in building this trailer.

[@donaldgenenavarro]

Floor plan is great!

[@markh8410]

Well I'd lose the dinette all together and slide that sofa down and put a theater seat across from the TV. That is an impressive floorplan with plenty of counter space and storage in the kitchen.

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

TY. Good to know :)

[@jennordstrom8582]

First…love all your content! And I really love this layout!!! The color doesn’t bother me, I like it👍❤️

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

I thought this unit was pretty much a home run

[@EverythingRVbyPat]

The toe-kik slide is a great benefit in my opinion. The vinyl doesn't roll up and doesn't get holes poked in it. It may be a bit of an inconvenience over the floor-flush slide but the fact remains that the floor-flush slide is not completely flush and you tend to have to put down rugs and still have to lean into the slide. So I'd prefer the toe-kick slide. In addition to that the room doesn't have to do the escalator thing to sit down into the slot when it's out and then doesn't have to go back up hill to be pulled in. It is so much easier on the motor and you won't burn it out trying to lift the refrigerator. It is a huge deal. Far better than the floor flush slide. Great video!!! This is a Bishin trailer... Yup, it's Bishin...

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

I hadn't really thought of it that way.. TY Pat! :) Trying to remember back and as I recall I THINK your first love on our channel was Open Range was it not?

[@EverythingRVbyPat]

@@JoshtheRVNerd You most certainly are correct. I spoke with one of your salesman at Haylett in 2017 for about a month. We had bad credit and had to trade in our previous trailer because we were upside down. We just couldn’t find a way to make it work. But we did end up finding one near my parents house and got a great rate on financing at the 1st Bank of Mom. And they actually gave us money on our trade; not much but it made it worth the trip to trade it in. But yes, we love the open range with the exception of the floor that won’t lay down. My wife and I have both fallen after tripping on the rolled up vinyl.

[@zacharygittle4665]

This is why I love gd they do things differently but execute it very well. For a stick in tin and with one slide this has been one I've liked for a bit now, feels bigger then it is. One picky thing would be the awning I think moving it behind that front window makes more sense but I'd still buy it👍👍

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

I do give credit to Outback for first pioneering this concept but I haven't really seen that one take off

[@deniseyoung7050]

I like this one it is a great couple trailer. Love the bathroom but I would like to move that open storage in the bathroom and make the shower larger. I love the in travel mode. That makes it even better. I could be very happy with this one. Thanks for the videos and stay safe in your travels. 💜🦋

[@toddswinscoe1007]

Fantastic review!! This is a great trailer and design. Thank you for sharing!!

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

This one was truly my pleasure

[@kablah777]

Glad Grand Design picked this one up. Keystone Outback did this floorplan from 2019-2021, but the 280urb never really caught on. Glad to see it here in Transcend clothing! GD should do free standing dinette option.

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

Yep yep! I always wanted to review that one but never had the opportunity. I like what Outback does and how they're so willing to be different

[@patriciaarrigoni3221]

We v bought the same one but last years (2021) model. Live in it full time and love it! Super roomie! The only thing we wish it has is more usb plugs it only has one in the bedroom. Other than that it is awesome

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

I am a USB fiend so that sounds good to me!!

[@JDHood]

Also, new model idea -- I don't know how much length they would need to add, but take that floor plan and lengthen it enough to turn the bed east/west, then make the front full-width storage (maybe add washer/dryer prep?)... Otherwise as-is, I would ditch the shower-side storage and fill all that space with shower. Maybe sacrifice some of that bathroom counter for full-height storage on one side of the sink? That's a ton of bathroom counter space! I could survive with about half that much.

[@proy2241]

If the cabinets beside the bed come all the way down to the bed I’m not liking it. I need my tossing and turning room .I’m not a restful sleeper at all.I can’t sleep on my back. I think it’s called gecko style sleeping position. I usually have an arm or a leg hanging over the bed a bit.and I don’t mind short Queen cause I gotta hang my toes over the foot of the bed too. And no tuck lol.I’m just a bit fussy….lol And if I don’t get a nice sleep Not happy camper lol Your the best source of rv info on KZbin Josh . We just bought a used 2013 jayflight 28bhs and we’ve been binge watch lol. Thanks👍

[@gavinhorner3517]

Man for a stick and tin they checked alot of boxes. My two knocks are , lose the gravy brown interior and offer theatre seats. The super slide functionality when it's retracted is unbelievable. I don't believe I've seen a 5th wheel or TT be that accessible in travel mode. Impressive bathroom as well people under estimate the need for elbow room in a bathroom for both couples or families. This one is a very nice mid entry TT . Well done " Emperor " as always great review, thanks for making my choice harder with each passing video. 🤔🤔🤔🤔

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

That’s really the thing on these - they really don’t feel or read like a stick and tin camper. It’s like it’s in disguise

[@josephtirserio2888]

NOW THAT'S WHAT I'VE BEEN ASKING FOR the past 2 YEARS PUT THE KITCHEN IN THE SLIDE of a travel trailer Thank you Josh! Set a fireplace in there under the TV and auto leveling and we'll take it 😂 that is a home run if they had one a little bit bigger or not with an outside kitchen that would knock it out of the park for us that is. The wife loves it.

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

This one really hit it for me as well

[@scottwhitesell5476]

The 2024 might actually be perfect. The replaced the oven with a big drawer and added a convection microwave. BW/PP TV setup. Full travel access. Time for an updated review If you can find one. the '23s and '24s seem pretty scarce. I know you're not a fan of the two leg dinette, but as someone that uses it as an office desk, the extra support is welcome.

[@taylorburton9356]

I loved your video on this rv. It was your video that convinced me to get a 260 rb. I've lived in it full time for the last 3 weeks and have loved it

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

Wow ty for sharing this! If you haven’t done so already, then please leave us a review at g.page/r/CaqJR4zSHz5VEAg/review

[@bug512]

Nice! Yes, a lighter color, please! I would swap the refrigerator next to the pantry, this way the stove/countertop would be closer to the sink/countertop for food prep. The way it is the distance would seem a bit much. Yea, I think your toes will kick the slideout lip, I guess the reason why toe kicks are underneath the countertop area in a residential kitchen. Maybe bringing the countertops out flush with the lip on the slide floor might help. Couch/theater seat, eh, I would take a workspace area or maybe give the option to delete and space for dog crates. Or... push the kitchen to the front of the trailer and make a rear bedroom / mid bath trailer. Personally, it's nicer to have the bath attached to the bedroom for changing and getting ready for the day and night. Thanks for the videos.

[@johnirwin1837]

I think the reason the kitchen arranged this way is because it is the same layout that is used in other models. Such as our 337 RLS 5th and it cousin in the large TT floorplan which have a center island because they have opposing slides. I agree in this floorplan the stove needs to be where the frig is for the counter top handinesss. The kitchen toe kick does not bother us as we spend very little time at the stove/ micro.

[@gonebananas1076]

💯 Agree with you!

[@larrylove9589]

We bought this model April 25th and have used it 4 weekends now and have had no issue with the slide lower floor lip. We have the Furrion 12 volt gloss black frig. with lots of storage space and the theater seats and we really love the 260RB. PS. we installed polished Aluminum wheels and that really improved the outside look.

[@GhostCob]

They only tings i could change and there is next nothing in that category. I would put backsplash all around the stove. It wouldn’t brake long for the side of the tv / closet get splashed. Then it would look bad. The other is a door on the bathroom storage. I use a walker and this one definitely fits the bill. Wow it’s absolutely amazing. Thanks Josh. Grab a cup of Mud and wake up lol . Have a great day. Blessings from Gettysburg Pa…

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

Isn’t this thing just a beast

[@rosemarydoran9907]

Transcend makes my favorite floorplan ever (240ml). But this might have to replace it only because of the size of the bathroom. I was just getting ready to comment about how as a disabled person who sometimes uses a wheelchair but has very limited mobility this bathroom would work for me quite well and you actually made the comment about it being close to ADA compliant. There is enough room in the shower to put a chair down for someone to sit on if there was only a way to put some type of a shower bar either inside the shower unit or outside to assist with getting in and out of the shower it would be perfect. Using a small travel chair you could likely wheel up to the bathroom sink. Grand Design just does such an awesome job with their RV's. I agree I would love to see theater seats in this model as well as an option for a table and chairs rather than a dinette but I understand that their target market is not higher end RV shoppers. True, GD needs to really look at doing some lighter interior options. I'm okay with dark cabinetry but it would really be awesome to have at least a mid-tone taupe or tan or even beige fabrics/leathers. Of course having the option for white cabinetry or a farmhouse decor would be awesome for me personally I know that's not everyone's taste but at least have some choices so it's not brown on brown and brown on brown on brown and brown on brown on and then some more brown.

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

You won’t hear me argue about that 240ML. Really enjoyed covering it here m.kzbin.info/www/bejne/nYKQh3tnoa-Ib6c I would be totally on board with a lighter decor option

[@aaronpendergrass5956]

This is awesome. I like how if you wanted to you could customize the sitting area. Party sofa, table/chairs, recliners. One little hiccup I need it to be a couple inches taller. Definitely a 9.5 out of 10 on execution.

They likely COULD put a window by the stove, but not my request. RVs are more "cookie cutter" in their builds that way

Same. I was surprised how much actually

[@webcompanion]

I have a 2016 Grand Design Imagine 2600RB. We are a couple and absolutely love it. My only complaint is you can't get to the bedroom while the slide is closed. This design fixes that, I am impressed. Other thing in my rig - the thermostat is in the bedroom so if you left the A/C on when you left camp and have the slide closed, you can't get to the thermostat until the slide is open. This new Transcend looks like they put the thermostat in a place not too easy to get to when the slide is closed. And I agree with you Josh, I would want the theater seats in this thing. We have them in the Imagine and they recline nearly full flat and are super comfortable! Have fell asleep watching the TV in these many a camp night.... thanks for the review! We LOVE Grand Design and are customers for life :-)

Nailed it! Give me the exact layout in a small 5th wheel. Give me theater seats and something other than that pedestal table. Really impressed with the bathroom and overall layout. Kitchen storage is killer. I am not a fan of the stick and tin "look" but they make it look much more "classy" with the color scheme and graphics. Full travel mode? Wow! No floor vents? Wow! Maybe I missed it but us a 2nd air available? Again, excellent layout.

Oops..sorry abt that... Continuing on..doors on all these open shelves plz. Big awning & tanks a huge plus! 🐾😎👍

[@crazydoglady5]

for a small camper..thats pretty nice. bathroom really should be by bedroom though. love the bigger bathroom...

[@nickzalan4762]

I would imagine (no pun intended) that the dinnertainment slide saves a couple hundred pounds vs the regular version of this floorplan with a sofa dinnete super slide. I saw this kitchen first in the reflection 341RDS that you toured and at first I wasn't too keen on it but as I look at it more I like it more. It's not the biggest kitchen but at the same time I can see how I would use the space and it's definitely enough.

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

It might save a bit. Any slide quickly adds weight though Man I like this layout. Instant top 5 Frankly I have really been impressed with about every transcend I have gone thru

[@thnksno]

Josh, If this floorplan becomes Rockwoodized or preferably Cougerized, I'll likely be a buyer. It's perfect right down to the non-radius shower and separate bedroom, while still being pit stop ready. Kitchens and entertainment are the things I think get into the way on any RV. It makes sense to put it all on a slide, especially with easy access for quick stops.

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

Man.. I hope that happens!! Would love to see one of those brands take a stab at this

[@rmccabe117]

What an amazing floor plan. Just when you think no one could do anything unique! King option and we would have seriously considered it as an option to the 253rb. Bathroom is fantastic except for ceiling height. Price is pretty easy on the wallet too.

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

That sunset 253 really is like this one’s evil twin

[@americanrambler4972]

Oh I do like this unit! It has one of the best layouts I have seen so far. Period! While the outside looks like I am watching a black and white TV show, there is an easy fix for that. Run a 3 inch reflective tape stripe all the way around it in either red, yellow, blue, orange or green just to add a dash of color. I would place the stripe in the center of that black belt line stripe that runs down the side. I would also consider adding a 2nd solar panel to the roof for that extra power benefit. Another feature I would change after it comes home, is to swap out the black wheels for some chrome spoke wheels or some white wheels with dog dish hubcaps. (Not baby moons, but the flattish ones) There is a bit to much brown on the inside, but some decorating can mute that. I love the sliding door and huge well laid out bathroom. I would like to see one of those mail slot windows in the slider above the kitchen window. But not really sure that would be doable. The access to this trailer in road mode is fantastic! This is probably best pulled by a 3/4 ton or up truck or suv in my opinion.

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

Agree on pretty much everything. I like the exterior how it is though 😊

[@tommyt2854]

Boy Josh, that sure is well done. A slide out cutting board next to the stove would be cool. But hey, I've watched you so much now that we're practically family, so this Sunday's chicken dinner is at 6pm. 😁😁😁 Hey tho, did I miss you say your filming location? Be kinda cool to know and maybe see short pic on the countryside. Thanks.

Great suggestion! This was in our Eldridge Iowa location (we call it our "Davenport" store)

[@jonathonhigham2793]

We have a 2020 transcend and the first thing we did this year was swap the frosted glass door with the Thin Shade replacement window.

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

Curious - how much was that??

[@jonathonhigham2793]

@@JoshtheRVNerd $91 and change on amazon. Took me less than hour to swap.

[@scoutingamerica1910]

I think they should’ve flipped the stove & the sink, you always need a window when doing the dishes! 😉 I prefer the trifold, & love the camp side windows! Nice info!

[@kablah777]

I second that. Swap stove and sink and put a window in the sinks new location

[@allan6021]

When I first read your suggestion I though, ya, that’s a good idea. But when you think about it, the type of slide they’ve used forces you to lean forward for whatever they put in it. So I think it would be less annoying to have the stove in the slide. With the sink where it is, you can get closer to it and personally I don’t think you spend as much time constantly in front of the stove when cooking vs when doing the dishes. So less ache in your back.

[@scoutingamerica1910]

@@allan6021 it’s also probably not possible to have plumbing on a moving part! LOL!

[@allan6021]

I’ve had a hybrid TT with the kitchen sink in the slide out so it doesn’t matter whether you have the sink or the (propane) stove in the slide out. They use flexible hoses for either one.

[@scoutingamerica1910]

@@allan6021 oh! Very cool! Thx

[@beenieweenie1986]

This is a nice unit, Only thing I'd change is a theatre seat. It says there is an option for it on the pic you show so are you sure it can't happen? Or is this a shortage thing?

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

Did some digging. Looks to be actually available!

[@cappyjpadgett]

I have the theatre seating in mine.

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

It’s a really great find model. You’re about to see a lot of manufacturers copy that thing this year

[@katiap7065]

Totally in love with this layout. Would definitely prefer theater seats and closed cupboards in the bathroom. Don't quite understand why they left all that open. Would be totally frustrating picking up stuff off the floor after each trip.

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

Owners have reported no issues with towels staying in place in them thankfully

[@randyjacobs9489]

If I had to complain about something Josh. No propane cooker hooker or outside kitchen/ Griddle. But all in all a very nice floor plan. It works!

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

Check this out - works around a lack of cooker hooker

[@theresapoprac2858]

@@JoshtheRVNerd Was there a link here that got dropped? Looking for a work around for the lack of cooker hooker. Thanks!

[@lynnlackey2431]

I don't really have a preference between stick and tin or fiberglass. I think what sold us on the Transcend was the Floorplan (240ml) and we love it.Grand design does take of their customers the other reason we chose them. Our cubbies in the bathroom and cupboards all.in the back of the camper have rode really well so far while traveling. I haven't had anything fall out or move much .It does seem odd about no theater option in the 260 rb. Hope you can do a video on the new no slide Transcend 255 FK model just curious about floorplan. Thanks Josh for all you do

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

Oh man.. that 240ML is SO good Frankly.. the entire Transcend series is just phenomenal

[@ronontheroam1359]

No slide in an EMBER would be AWSOME!

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

Hmm... interesting thought..

[@bobhosler4281]

I just watched another KZbin vid with the theater seating in this unit. I won’t mention their name because I like your videos better. FYI theater seating is out there in this model.

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

Yeah apparently how I missed it Bob is theater seating is not an option… It’s actually standard. Which is why I couldn’t find it in the options list lol

[@michaelbabella1103]

Hello, ummmm, Sir, its CLEAR u needed coffee here, lol...the floorplan u showed at the beginning says theater seat, optional trifold, yet in your points of consideration you write no theater seating...we GOTTA get u a keurig...lol. I like the layout. Another fine job on your part young man. Thank You

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

Lol yeah.. see pinned comment. I totally missed it

[@StratRider]

love the restroom layout with that cabinet and counter space. The kitchen slide: they should have moved the oven and cabinets flush with the slide and left more counter space behind them. There is a reason all kitchens have toe kicks on the cabinets. OMG - they nailed it with road mode.

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

I know the traveling access is amazing. This is hands down the best fully functional super slide in road mode I feel I have ever seen

[@jssumner82]

I love this layout w windows facing campsite. Ive seen too many driver sides facing roads. I also agree and have thought the stove cabinets could be slid to edge of slideout to address the toe kick/trip. open cabinets need doors and could be lighter....however you cant beat this laout and roadmode functionality.

[@suzieblackburn5128]

I really like this floorplan. I would like to have a therator seats a fireace

[@JoshtheRVNerd]

Theater IS available btw. It's actually standard.
