New model in 150 series lineup- 240rl

[DaveMatthewsBand]

yes, that was the deciding factor of us going with the 273MK.............surprisingly however, it's not been a big deal. We are not making long hauls though where we would need to the bathroom on the road.

We have the 220RK and have towed it almost 10,000 miles since going full time 18 months ago and even though the one slide we have cuts off access to the bathroom, it has never once been an issue. We’ve had overnight stops at rest stops, truck stops, and Walmart and have always had plenty of room to put the slide out.
It’s a non-issue for us.
We love our little 27’ 9k# trailer! So small we can back it into the spots the larger rigs drive past, and it’s pulled with a diesel so we keep up with traffic even through the mountains.

Same with us and our 230rl! It’s a great size and short enough (28 ft) we can park it at our house off the street

I was happy to see a shorter BH model as well (268BH), but it isn’t short enough. I think the 230RL with bunks instead of the couch/seating would be a more compelling short BH offering.

The seating area in the 230rl was the compelling reason for us [emoji6]

The 230RL is great. I think they need a 230BH as well for those who like BH offerings.

I was back and forth with this and a 260RD, you can see the 260 won out. So far the bath access hasn't been a problem. It looks like the 273MK has been eliminated from the line-up too.

Seen that type of layout before in TT's. Looks awkward with the sofa right in front of the kitchen counter. You'd always be bumping into the sofa when reaching towards the rear. If someone's sitting in the theater seats with the foot rest out then they'd have to retract it for someone to use the sink or reach to the end of the counter.

Understand your concern, but the 2450RL (TT) and the 240RL (5er) are targeted for couples. If someone is using the sink and counter space, the other someone just sits in the other recliner. Layouts are always a compromise with owners having to adapt to the coach for some features and getting exactly what they want with other features.
Market demands put access with the slide in as a “must have” for the majority of buyers. The order of access, the way I understand it from dealers and RV magazines is: kitchen - fridge and pantry for groceries when travelling, bathroom, bedroom.
The units under discussion allow access to everything, which explains why this layout is offered by virtually all manufacturers.

The “new” 24rl is just 500 lbs shy of my discontinued reflection 27rl and I get 3 slides. Might be time for people to look for used units at a better price point than the new stuff.

[backtrack2015]

Used units can make a lot of sense. I will say that for me, when it comes to slides, fewer is better.

You're correct. The 240rl hasn't made our lot yet either. It sounds like a WINNER!!!
