Really like this trailer but can’t decide between the 189 FBS and the 210 WBS. The only thing I really see different about the 210 is the 6 inches of added width and the 2 extra feet that provides for a walk around queen size bed. Since both have the slide does the extra width make that big of a difference? Has anyone chosen the 189 and wish they would have gone with the 210? Has anyone chosen the 210 and wish they would have gone with the 189?

Looks like a good deal more storage and a bigger bath in the 210, unfortunately it also has a smaller albeit walk around bed. That extra 6" width would make a big difference too. If I were to choose between the 2 and the extra 3' or length are not a problem, I'd go the 210wbs route. Personally I like the 210 as opposed to the 210 WBS just for the longer bed.

We have the 210WBS (see signature). We looked at both when we bought ours and decided on the 210WBS for the following reasons:
1) Larger tanks
2) Bigger bathroom
3) Larger, more spacious "feel"
4) Twin 30# LPG tanks
5) Most important, the walk around bed. We're at that age where crawling over the top of each other in the middle of the night is not "sport" any longer 
Without directly measuring it, we also felt that the 3 extra feet in length and 6 inches in width added to the available storage space in the TT. To gain a little extra space, we deleted the oven as I do most of the cooking outside on the Weber and whatever "oven" work that needs to be done, we do in the Convection/Microwave option that we added. The larger bathroom was also a big factor as we travel with three cats. We use the "mini bathtub" as the holding device for the kitty litter box. DW made a liner for the tub and whatever litter the cats throw out of the box is contained in the bathtub instead of all over the TT.
One piece of advice...if you are considering hauling bikes...order the TT with their frame mounted hitch installed. The frame already has the mounting brackets, but, it was a tough job getting those bolts in and I have small hands! At the factory (if you are ordering one) they install the hitch prior to the tanks.
I don't think you would go wrong with either one... We're certainly happy with the build, the comfort and the quality of our FunFinder.

We have the X210. We liked this model because we are not interested in climbing over one another and like the dinette. We have had it for one year and are very pleased with it. Also the television placement on the 189 looked like it would be awkward. We can lay in bed and watch tv now.
There is also a fun finder forum
