Thanks.

Welcome Albert to the forum and irv2.
Here is a Brochure and Owners Guide for 2015 DSDP.
With the slides closed the LR slide and a Kitchen slide will be raised when slides are closed just so you know plus it takes some getting use to, to walk down what isle is left.
Access can be gained to bathrooms whether 1/2 or mid full bath, plus the fridge.
Here is a picture of a 4318 coach FWS with slides closed, PDR Johns coach.
You can see the dog stepping up onto the slide floor which is raised when closed.

Here's a shot of a 2015 Dutch Star 4381 that Newmar had sent me. This is the coach that is currently in RV One's inventory in Tampa.
Hope this helps.

Funny you should ask. They never post photos with the slides closed. I asked the same question and was a little shocked at how little room. I don't know why I had it in my head that there would be a ton of room, with the slides in. My current 5th wheel, there is absolutely no room to squeeze through, and the fridge can not be opened. That was an eye opener as well.

You are doing the right thing to check access with the slides in. Stopping for a lunch break means refrigerator access. Stop for a nature break means access to bathroom. If you overnight at Wally Mart or similar where putting out all the slides is sometimes poor etiquette, can you still sleep in the bed and such.

Yep, I really like the 2014 4372, but the access to the center bath is tight, maybe too tight for the DW although, due to her health problems, she has lost a bunch of weight. I need to get back to the dealers and have the DW actually try it.

Ours has good access to 1/2 bath, our friend's with the recliner's is tighter. I would have still liked to have the recliners.

First, thanks to a great website that has been a wealth of information and to those who respond so quickly. We are very close to ordering the new DS4312 rear bunk floorplan. Most of our travels are for business with my wife, son and wife and their two children both under two. Any comments on travel with the slides closed with six aboard. We choose this floorplan with the half bath as we know you would have to crawl over the rear bed to get to the rear bath when moving. The photo provided to my request looks really tight between the two sofas. I will be able to drive and see one in about three weeks when I return to Florida but looking for comments in advance.

When at the dealership, I asked them to put the slides in on a 4369. It had sofas on both sides. It was definetly tight...not nearly the room as shown in one of the above pics. Had a hard time walking down the "isle".
We ordered ours with the two recliners which the dealership said would be more room..hopefully.
We have a 2002 DS 3852 now, and it is liveable with the slides in, however you need to plan ahear if you are on the engine side of the bed and nature is calling.

Albert....it will be tight with 4 people in the back. I know some don't like the narrow pathway, but I think it's a trade off for larger slides. We find our dining chairs make it tougher to get by. Lately, we've been putting the chairs on the bed.
I see that not only on my model 4018, but others, the half bath and refer are across from each other. I'm a big guy and I can get into the half bath without too much issue, but accessing the refer is tough, especially while loading with the slide closed. I have to go past the refer and then open one door, move over and then open the other.

When we ordered our coach, we wanted it livable with the slides in. We chase after storms and have had the weather stick on the side of the road for a couple days in a row.
That's why ours looks as open as it is. The 4369 is very close to how we had our 4347 customized. We ordered in the summer of 2012.

Not to highjack your thread BUT...
Could anyone post similar slide in photos of a Ventana 4037 or similar?
Thanks.

Most any coach with couch's both sides or recliners the raised LR slide and adjacent passenger kitchen side slide walking space will be the same in most all coach's.
My 03 coach has the same walking space you see on floors of the pictures your looking at, you can walk with one foot on LR SLIDE and one on main floor or shuffle along as a old lady on the floor space you see.
It is what it is, you have slides with a dance floor when opened there is some sacrifice with slides closed.
