We looked at the MV, the 26Y, 31DS, and fell upon our 31FK and liked it the best. I had never seen this layout before. So far, these are my thoughts. Mind you, we are weekend campers, with a couple of longer trips during the summer months.
I like:
The front kitchen
The placement of the television in the living area
8cu ft. fridge
queen cab over bed
Queen rear bed that is not on a slide, leaving the entire bedroom usable as we travel without blocking the wardrobes or having to fold the mattress to close the slide. We would have loved all that cabinet space, but honestly, we don't have that much to put in it anyway. It's just the two of us. I found a great bin stack that fit perfectly in our wardrobe that will work beautifully for us.
GIANT basement storage under the bedroom because there is no slide here.
Big shower, big bathroom with great cabinets, mirrors and floor space
The regular dinette vs. the awful U dinettes found in many campers.
Pretty nice wardrobe and cabinets in bedroom. Definitely enough for us.
There is nothing behind the passenger seat so I an recline and move as far back as I want.
Lots of room to walk through with the slide completely in. We can use everything in the camper while traveling.
Not so much:
The pantry is not too deep, (16") but if it were deeper, I couldn't move my seat back, so I'm ok. Plenty of room for our food for two.
Jack knive sofa. I would prefer a sleeper sofa. I hate theater seating, so I am glad it didn't have that.
I wish the stove was a flat top. Still can't figure out why Jayco doesn't put these in their Greyhawks. Their little tt's have them!
I think I will miss not having a back window. Maybe. Not sure yet. There are ample window views from the bedroom, just not at the very back.
In any case, we are extremely happy with this unit. We are new MH owners, having a hybrid previously. Just having a real bed to sleep in is a blessing. No more climbing in and over my husband to go to bed. My poor knees couldn't take another season of that!
Good luck in your decision. I REALLY liked the MV - I am a cook and loved that kitchen! Probably would have gone that route if we didn't fall on the deal we got on ours.
Happy camping!
