That is one nice coach! As with many of you, we have grown to love the mid entry bath and a half lay-out! I will keep an eye out for it when it is 20 years old and hits the market:-)

While I've heard grumbling about loss of cargo/basement access with mid-entry, being able to quickly access a bathroom & kitchen, while only having to walk 22.5' in either direction sure beats "darn, i left something in the rear bath" and the 45' slog back when you are at the front door!
Bigger bonus to me is that you have an actual w-i-d-e entryway unencumbered by a passenger seat! The co-pilot doesn't always "have to move stuff" for entry/exit. Not to mention better emergency exit options (at least to me)
(Sorry...jumping off soapbox now)

how do you change the refridgerator in a front entry coach? or washer and dryer.

Remove the windshield and take them in and out through the windshield opening. Not easy.

Not cheap either...that is how my Bosch washer and dryer came in. Luckily I timed it when I was having the windshield replaced due to a rock hit so my insurance took care of removal and replacement.

I believe they also sometimes just remove a living room window. That's what they said they'd do on ours, had it become necessary.
