Out of square beds on new model 21s and aisle access door

Had a customer at my shop today for installing a 36 inch long drawer behind the door at the center aisle under the bed. Not only was the bed crooked by about 3/4 inch, but the door itself could not open 90 degrees, due to the door handle hitting the cabinet with the furnace. Others with new model 19s also can't open their fridge side doors 90 degrees to install a drawer, either. I spoke with Reace about this problem back in 2015 as the same issue prevented the under bed door next to the bathroom door from being opened 90 degrees without opening the bathroom door first; he subsequently had that door moved toward the rear enough to clear the bath door. Any other models have this same issue? Didn't think designing door access needed a degree in rocket science.........

Need a degree to identify trailers though, with all these new designations. What is a 21 "s"?

We have an early 21 with the door at the foot of the bed and a second door on the cut corner. Both work wonderful for us for under bed storage. We built custom under bed storage and keep dirty clothes, shoes and cleaning supplies under the front 2/3 of the bed (foot end). Under the head end 1/3 we have an outside access where we put our camp chairs and our patio mats and sun screens. We find the design of our 2013 classic to fit our style of camping in every way. The fit and finish is excellent on this unit (build number 6)
