Bed slide out in the back but no slide out for the kitchen. No living space at all which for us, we realized, was a big deal. We went RV shopping after 9 months. We wanted a king bed, large living area with a dinette to have more of a home feel and after we decided on a 2018 Windsport 29 m, we took out the sofa and installed a pair of Thomas Payne recliners with massage. We LOVE IT!!!! Plenty of room, more storage and lots of little things we didn't think about like the outside kitchen and the driver and passenger fans. If a queen bed is ok for you, let me recommend the Freedom Traveler. They make a 27 and a 30 footer. Nice floor plan with kitchen slide out and bedroom slide out. Roomy and I think it's on the F53 chassis. Glad we got one with a king bed, much better for us. Hope this helps? Never heard many people say, " Wish I got a smaller RV".... A rookie mistake on my part!

Thanks for sharing your opinion, and agree that someone who is much over six feet tall will probably be uncomfortable in any camper queen bed. I know folks who have traded their Vegas or Axis for a F-53 Class A, but even more who are happy with their E-350 or E-450 Vegas/Axis. We traded our 33' Class A for a Vegas 25.2 three years ago, and have no desire to go back. It's different strokes for different folks. This is why it is recommended that folks shopping for their first RV do at least one rental first! We don't all like the same type of shoes and we don't all like the same RVs. Vive la difference! We are happy, glad you are too!
