Love having the island in the in our CC 29RW. We have a 2 door residential fridge and the island inhibits the left side and the bottom drawer freezer from being opened with the slide in. However, we can open the right side door to the fridge and get to most of what we need without putting out the slide. Sandwiches, drinks etc, We put in the right side and grab them at a rest stop with no issues.

As long as you can get to the potty & half of the refrigerator with slides in, all is good.
The fridge is no real big deal since most pack a day cooler to carry in the truck.

Thank you for letting me know. The floor plan of your unit is one that I really like. This floor plan is also offered in the Grand Design manufactures. I will keep in mind what you have said. Then you should take a look at Grand Design 337RLS. Same rear footprint as the 303 RLS, but the front bed/bath are larger - east/west bed and walk in closet with WD hookups.

Ours has a side by side Whirlpool fridge. We can't access the freezer side with the slide in but no problem with the fridge side. The bathroom was more important to us especially with the current state of affairs. Most everything we looked at had total access without opening any slides so I think that part is fairly common.

We have a 2019 Winnebago Minnie Plus 27RLTS with a kitchen island. Unfortunately, we cannot access the refrigerator without opening the slide. If only they had made the island about 4 inches shorter...

No doubt this is one of the most important features ![[emoticon]](https://forums.goodsamclub.com/sharedcontent/cfb/images/wink.gif "wink")

Thank you for sharing this information.
All we want to do is to be able to grab a snack or put a few items in that we have stopped to purchase for the drive.

This seems to be a common problem.
Someone had suggested that they bought their unit with no island kitchen and added their own little island with one of the movable units you can buy ![[emoticon]](https://forums.goodsamclub.com/sharedcontent/cfb/images/cool.gif "cool")

Agreed the bathroom access is the most important feature.....even before the current state of affairs
I have to tell you that my husband and I had our TT for about 3 years, when we always stopped at rest stops....then one day we said this is ridiculous. Why have a toilet following us and we did not use it except for being in a campsite....that was 13 years ago. We now travel and keep a gallon bottle of water in the bathroom and use the toilet when ever. We now only stop at a rest stop to stretch the legs, walk the dog or to make a lunch.

Thank you. I am beginning to see that this is common. This appears to be the case for units at 34ft or shorter, which is what we would like to stay at.
