I love this late model floor plan, but would love to have some used alternatives if possible.

Thanks for your help in advance!

That's a very common floor plan. Maybe not in used units, because of the moveable island. I've heard of one couple who bought a 5er and either bought or had a moveable island built; of course, to do this, you would have to make sure it fit somewhere with the slides in.

Movable island is commonplace on a lot of Open Range models. So far, after 3 seasons and a trip to Alaska, the OR our friends have hasn't had any major problems.

Yes. I did see an OR with a similar floor plan. I have seen a lot of ORs with crinkly looking back panels....even an 09 with a lot of delamination. That concerns me.

The 326MKS cougar has that floor plan, 4000lb lighter.
And can be pulled with a 3/4ton truck.

Not used, and used ones may be "close" but not exact.

Yes a NUWA LS 32.5 FKSBG I had 2 2003 Hitchhiker II and 2008 LS with this floor plan.
We like the floor plan but decided to us wasn't good full timing.

What did you not like about it full timing? I could use all the tips that I can get!

It's good to ask questions that's what any forum is supposed to do.
We just wanted to have more over all room, almost 6 feet longer and a bigger slide. The kitchen to us didn't have a lot of counter space. So we tended to eat out more. But we didn't have the island which would have helped! I know quiet a few that have this floor plan and do great. We had F/T in the 2008 NUWA LS for a year and just felt like we need more room.
We had 2 of these units so we did like the floor plan. The way front room and kitchen is set up sure made it feel big roomie.
