For us the bed position and size was very important. Your really don't spend that much time in the trailer but you will spend a good deal of time in bed. We wanted a smaller, light, easy-to-tow trailer without a slide that adds considerable weight. We wanted at least a queen-size bed that was located in the rear of the trailer with some room on each side for easy access and make-up. We wanted plenty of storage which we got with the 173 White Water. The kitchen, fridge and bathroom located mid-section and the dining table/spare bed located forward. If you look at the photos you'll get an idea of the layout as I've described it. Some beds are positioned cross-way in the trailer which means someone will have to crawl over the other to get in and out of bed. Anyhow, everyone has their own preferences but this layout I think is about as good as you can get in a small trailer. The AC unit is located over the bed and cools the trailer down very well. We also had a digital "Jack" TV antenna installed (Great tip Bill), which usually gets us several good channels most places we've been. If you e-mail me, I'll send you more details and photos. Hope this helps.
PS: here's a link to a White Water trailer dealer with all the various floor plans. Check out the 2014 173 model - that is the floor plan we have. By the way, the bed pedastal is all storage area accessable by lifting the bed or from a reer storage access door.
