NEW Bounder Model, 34T
Opposing slides in living area!! Introducing the Most Spacious Bounder
Two negatives for me... Kitchen plumbing in a slide and the kitchen slide is under the awning.

The only gripe I have is the power awning over the kitchen slide is almost useless, as it goes out almost flat and will fill up with water when it rains,so I have to make sure it's in before we go out anywhere.

It's 2'itis up..not 1 foot shorter!
On our Discovery the kitchen is on the FW slide, no issues and the awning is slide mounted on the passenger slide.

I'd like to see this 34T in person to see if the awning is slide-attached or over the slideout. The "no kitchen fixtures in the slide" rule is just my personal preference. I don't want plumbing or gas lines moving in and out...but that's just me.

That 40" TV won't be comfortably viewable by more than one person at the dinette and they're going to be too close to enjoy it. :( . Engineering at its best ( not ).

Yeah, that TV location sucks. Poor viewing angle and will be covered by the slide so no "in motion" TV from there. (Or no TV watching at a rest stop with slides in. )
I just noticed the cheesy wall fixtures in the living area. Must have found a deal on those. Also, the 33C is still the only Bounder with the king bed option...what the heck?

As already said, TV in horrible area. Not a fan of moving plumbing or propane lines. Lose a lot of covered patio space with the kitchen slide out. Also it's one more area with storage under a slide to split your head open.

TV position very bad, useless. Can't use the fireplace if your slide is in.??? Awning over the kitchen slide useless. Outside TV option useless in not perfect weather and even the sun will affect it on a good day. Don't know about anyone else,, walking through my bathroom to get into the bedroom is not how I'm used to living. My 33C, even with the tiny bathroom, is better. My king bed option is GOING. Takes up too much room. I lost the night stands. Worse yet, My feet are cold at night, can't find my two legged heating pad. She gets lost on that thing.

General RV had at least 1 at the Nat'l. It's over the slide out so the slide out takes up a good bit of its unrolled space.
The recliner near that stepwell is the same thing I hate in mine. When reclining, I feel like I could topple over in there. It's a bulky chair & takes up way too much room.
I didn't like the little fake fireplace either. It looks odd off-set like that.
The one thing that DID impress me, is at least the emergency exit window in the bedroom is big enough to accommodate a "normal" sized person. Most of them you have to be the size of a 7 year old to get your butt through them.

I just noticed the placement of the outside TV... ON the slide!! What the..???
And we have to have our king size bed. Our dog takes his half out of the middle, while we cling to each edge.

Oooooh, did you take any pics?? The bedroom exit window looks like the same as in our 33C. (The living room windows are the same, too.)
I was just looking at the photos and it appears that the satellite dome is the new Winegard Pathway x1. It's smaller than the older low-profile domes. Also, I can see the awning is above the kitchen slide...yuck.

I didn't take photos this year. Ancira has one on their lot if ya wanna take a look at their pictures.
Another thing, for the price they want for these, I'm expecting solid surface sinks in the baths. The days of the plastic sinks (like I have) is OVER - leave those for the Bounder Classics to save 2 cents on costs (of which FW will charge us $100 for that sink)!

Eeeek. I agree!! Even my 33C has a ceramic pedestal sink, which I have grown to love. (With all the other "loose" stuff to move when we are underway, I'm now glad I don't have a bathroom vanity covered with stuff. )

Holy cow... can you say "bland"??? Everything in this area is beige. I do like the new floor, though. I wonder if that is sheet vinyl or what. I also like the window on the front of the slide, which we don't have because the pantry is there. From the floorplan drawing, it looks like the pantry in the 34T is pretty small.
