The Benefits of a Rear Living RV Floor Plan

The floor plan is everything when you are RV shopping. It’s such a vital decision, but it’s tricky because there are so many options, each with its own nuances. Here’s some info on floor plans with the main living area in the rear, for both RVs and trailers.

The Best Views

Many people who are loyal to rear-living RV layouts are all about the views. These RVs often have windows on three sides in the back. Smaller RVs usually place the dinette in this area, while big trailers will dedicate this area to the living room. If your RVing style is focused on the beauty of the great outdoors, this is the best way to enjoy it from the comfort of your sofa. Just park with your rear windows facing the lake, ocean, or forest, and you’re instantly immersed in nature’s glory.

Kitchen Adjacent 

In most RVs with a rear living area, the kitchen is adjacent. This means that cooks can enjoy engaging with everyone, but they still have all the elbow room they need.

Bedroom Separation

In larger RVs, fifth wheels, and trailers, this layout separates the bedroom(s) from the main social hub. It also gives more privacy to anyone who is using the living room as their bedroom.
