My wife once overheard me telling a customer the following, and that night questioned what I said, asking me why did I tell my customers a lie. "Know that half of what you are told is wrong, including from me." My advice is based on years of rv experience from myself and others, still your experience may be different. It is your $$$, not the guys giving you advice.  You write the check, do your research, make your choices. Lots of good advice on this thread, and this forum. You definitely are on the right track starting out with a Foretravel.

In addition to feeling that it is not necessary to have a slide for full-timing, wanted to share that Cindy & I lived in our non-slide 36' over 20 years and would not have it any other way.

When I was looking, the phrase was to "buy your last coach first". With the quality built into the Foretravel, this could be my last coach, unless another GV320 came up

If you are going from National Park to other scenic destinations, a slide means more potential problems, less chassis rigidity and more weight. On the other hand, if you plan on long stays at only a few locations, a slide can make the coach more apartment like. But, I can't imagine wanting to take a multi-slide coach down Baja.

I bought a Born Free 28 for a good friend. It had two slides and I can't imagine traveling in it without the slides. For us and what we use our coach for, the non-slide 36 is perfect.

Sorry for the slow response, we've been down in Baja for the last couple weeks and just crossed back yesterday :-)

We're in Phoenix for the next week or so and then Casa Grande for an Xscapers (aka Escapees) convergence. If anyone's in the area and up for a show and tell we'd love that!

Regarding floor plans: we largely remodeled our current rig to make it more accommodating for working out of. We actually don't have a table to eat at and there's a good chance we'd do something similar in our a next rig.

Lots of good stuff here, thank you all!
