I really like my 3400RL floor plan and will probably go with the same layout again hopefully in the Big Sky version this spring. I would like to suggest giving the buyer a 2nd option in regards to the entertainment slide related to the TV and the computer desk. I realize that many folks like the desk, but in the 8 years I've had my 34000RL, I don't think I've actually sat at the desk more than 6 times. I would much rather sacrifice the desk in return for a full slide entertainment system INCLUDING a much larger TV. Many coaches are now placing 45" and or up to 55"/60" LCD and LED TV's in their units. I believe folks would like to have the "option" to order the 3400RL with the standard desk/TV configuration OR delete the desk in exchange for a large 55" LED TV and entertainment slide out. Take the 3455SA as a basic design example and expand it from there. I want a stack-able washer/dryer in my next coach so that eliminates any of the side aisle layouts that have the TV/entertainment slide out. Another example of what I am describing would be to look at the Redwood 36RL. A decent size TV with cabinets above and below along with the fireplace in the center below the TV. I know that the 36RL is a singe slide, but you could mirror that overall design to fit within the single entertainment slide of the 3400RL. I would suggest deleting the "lift" and window in that slide and just build the cabinet system to fill the entire slide out. I realize that I am younger than most of your buyers, but being one that is planning on going full time in the next 3-6 months, electronics and entertainment are something that is important to me. I would rather sit in my recliners and work on my laptop while watching the game or a movie instead of sitting on the side of the TV at the desk. Just my opinion and suggestion on something that would make the ownership experience even better...
