We finally got to tour a 270BN. Lots of kitchen counter space. The dinette (or the breakfast nook “BN”) is a little weird in that there is a pin that you can pull down underneath and swivel the table maybe 10 degrees. They tell me that it’s for ease of getting in and out but I’m not seeing it as being that helpful for that. Two things that I was not that crazy about. There’s no gravity fill for the fresh water tank. I guess many of the new models are like that with the Nautilus system. Another feature that I wasn’t crazy about was the tank waste outlets. There are two. The one towards the front is for the black tank and the gray tank dedicated to the shower and bathroom sink. The dump valves are in the pass through compartment which is convenient. There’s another gray tank towards the back for the kitchen thats not connected to the other gray tank. There’s a separate outlet with a dump valve underneath so after the black and front gray tanks are dumped you have to disconnect the hose and reconnect it on the rear gray tank. Our Imagine is not like that. There are two gray tanks but they are connected so you dump one then the other and you don’t have to swap the hose. We’re newbie’s this year so that’s my only experience with dumping the tanks.
In the bedroom there is only one USB-USB C and it’s on the center of the shelf above the bed. There’s outlets on the shelves next to the bed on each side but USB’s on either side (like our Imagine) would be a lot handier for phone charging. There’s also no USB chargers next to the theater seating as our Imagine has. Maybe I’m comparing things too much to our Imagine but that’s really all I have to compare it to.
The two dump dump outlets that make you switch hoses really has me thinking before I proceed with a purchase. Am I obsessing too much about that? Do many other RV’s dump like that?
