Can't speak to the 2018, esp if any changes I'm not aware of. But, our 2016 280RKS is identical to the 2018 floorplan, with one exception. Exterior length is the same - 34'3".
Exception is the bed is pushed forward into the front cap area allowing for the 80" bed. They removed the inner wall and bookcase to give more room for longer bed. As to room around the foot of bed, may well be the same as our shorter bed, which isn't a whole lot, but never has been a big deal for us. Yes, more room would be nice, but we don't live in the bedroom, and the walk through bath allows for easy passage to the closet slide side of the bed.
As to "advertised" floor length, I would feel confident in the 30' figure. Don't ever remember any 29' measurement for the 280RKS series. As to the 2018 270RKS, maybe they decided to be more "honest" in their stated lengths.
