hi geejay....
as for finding one to look at, it is odd you have struck out....how about contacting your local wbcci chapter and finding a member who has a long boy....or a member who has sales booklets from over the years.....
and go to a rally.....lots of rigs to see there....if you are polite....
you are gonna draw blanks on "knowing all the differences" related to pre wides, wides and late 05/up 34s....
the corner radius is unchanged....middle section is wider...so too frame and wheel base.
with so many floorplans/options of the last 12+ years.....front galleys, fireplaces, mid sofas, snack bars, washers/dryers, 2 doors, 2 sofas, corner tables, entertainment centers, lp gas tank placement, battery sizes, oven/microwave changes/tv size changes....one would need to limit themselves to the classic, classic floor plan for comparisons.....like i have.
lots of variability in storage, bed size/configuration, dinette size, galley, lav, closets, holding tank size and so on.
the wider body does make a difference in many of these areas....like walking around a queen size bed...or slightly deeper drawers, or wider counter tops and so on.......
also window placement effects how many and where cabinets are located...for example vista views mean overhead lockers are deleted in those areas...
twin bed models usually have 2 outside storage doors in rear and more storage space inside above beds...and between....
another issue is CARRYING CAPACITY....
and imo that may be more important than space in absolute sq. ft.
the trailers have gotten heavier over the years...and that sometimes results in less carrying capacity...regardless of volume available...
then, when they uprate the axle system.....
without changing the trailer...capacity increases again....
airstream has on their websites....specs, floorplans and parts manuals for many years...so one could print the floorplans and specs, and scan the parts manuals to get find some specific storage/space issues....
could also look over the many threads here for classics and 34s....
regards
