Sandi and John, I think maybe we are also qualified to answer your question. We bought a new 2003 3295RK and had it for four years and one month. We fulltimed in it for the past 3 1/2 years. We loved the floorplan. It has the most counter space and interior storage. It was excellent for our fulltiming. that said, a week ago today we took delivery on a new 3400RL. I think we're going to love it, also. It has less interior storage and counter space but we also really like this floorplan. In my opinion, both are good choices for fulltimers as are several other models.
The 3295RK has the heavier pinweight. The 3400 is a bit heavier overall. The 3295RK is 360 square feet. The 3400RL is 400. Yes, the slides are roughly the same but the 3295RK has 3 of them and the 3400 has 4.
Those are the biggest differences I can see. If I were in your shoes I'd go for whichever sets your heart aflutter more.
See another Montana or Mountaineer on the road? Flash lights twice, it might be one of us!
