My reply is for those considering special ordering a new 2350 or 2450.
Our older 2007 2350 without a slide out seems to offer much more outdoor storage than any current-day 2350 with or without a slide out. Our under-bed outdoor storage (shown below) is quite large. I think both my wife and myself can fit inside it together. We should try that and have our son take a picture.

We did have our subwoofer mounted under the front dinette bench which helped. The subwoofer is typically mounted under the bed for consistency with units that don't have a dinette.
Design changes since 2007, improved the handling of the rig and later accommodating the fridge in the slide out. But they came at the sacrifice to outdoor storage detailed here.
- furnace with ductwork moved from under fridge to under bed
- fresh water tank was over rear bumper, turned 90 degrees and moved forward (our tank is behind the left dark wood wall in the pic)
- step-down area of storage compartment changed to a drawer
I believe the furnace had to be relocated out from under the fridge because the bathroom and main-room ductwork we have could not move as the fridge moved with the slide out. Having the fresh water tank turned 90 degrees made the outdoor storage compartment very shallow. Relocating the furnace with ductwork under the bed, lost more outdoor storage yet.
I wonder if one could custom order a new 2350 today without a slide out but with the setup of a 2007. If I reordered our rig today, I would request that. Actually I would request that in a 2450 along with the larger bed to have even more outdoor storage. I would also request my 3-drawer galley as Carol has done with her 2450.
I am just sharing ideas for people like myself with uncommon thinking of a no-slide preference. I am not trying to be a critic at all here, so please don't take it that way.
