So today, we find out a CW about 2 1/2 hrs away has the 30.1. Now....I am really confused. lol. We will most likely drive down to see it, as the bigger closet space in bedroom would be a plus for us. I also liked the sofa and dinette being on same wall in front of tv, although it does cut down on counter space. I really don't do any heavy duty cooking in ours now.
Decisions, decisions. It's all giving me a tremendous headache!
When we first started looking our dealer didn't have a 30.1. Right before we signed the paperwork they got one in. I wanted to look at it just to make sure we had made the right decision. Well once I did we were stuck! They are so different. There were things that I liked about both of them and we took a week to make up our minds.
Reasons we didn't choose the 30.1:- I didn't like the seating side by side. I figured if people were just taking (no TV) it would not have been comfortable for everyone. Also, I knew that when I was cooking in the kitchen I would be in the way of the TV.
- As I mentioned before, I wasn't a fan of all the storage space being in the bedroom. I wanted it spaced out more.
- I didn't like how the shower was exposed when sitting in the coach. Since the ACE has the rounded shower door it looked like the shower was falling into the hallway. I also didn't like how the bathroom and bedroom where taken if someone was showering.
- There was no way I could get over losing the large storage compartment in the back of the RV. This is such a great space in the 29.2 and there was definitely nothing I loved so much in the 30.1 to give that up.
Overall, for us, the 29.2 feel more homey and comfortable. I totally understand you dilemma though. They are totally different layouts and meet totally different needs. Let us know what you decide!
Also, there is more counter space in the 30.1 than the 29.1/29.2. The TV is overhead like a cabinet, not on the counter. You can actually "open" the TV and use the back side for storage. It's like they mounted the TV as a cabinet front. That was also really weird to me. I was afraid constantly opening it would cause it to fall off.
