Since 1977
When retired couples set off on multi-week or month long RV trips, one of the most important things to consider is comfortability.
Ease of movement, and day‑to‑day usability are also often at the top of the list, and with new 2027 floorplans arriving, there are plenty of options that can tailor to these needs.
What retired couples value most in RVs
Walkable, open living areas with recliners/sofas instead of dinette‑only lounges.
Private, comfortable bedroom with a walk‑around queen or king bed and good wardrobe storage.
Bathroom usability: larger showers (often walk‑in), wider doors, and enough room for two routines without congestion.
Functional kitchen with usable counter space, accessible storage, and appliances sized for regular cooking.
Easy entry and safe movement: lower step heights, grab handles, clear aisles, and minimal tripping hazards.
Manageable size and towability/drivability, often in the 24–32 ft range for trailers and 26–30 ft for Class C, balancing comfort with campground access and ease of handling.
Floorplan types retired couples prefer
Rear‑living travel trailers: large living slide, good views, natural flow between kitchen/living/bed; popular for comfort and openness.
