Interesting! That analogy makes sense too.

YES!

How long is that?!

That would be great! Wish they did too Thanks for watching!

Thanks Herc!

Thank you so much!!

Thank you Kelly!!! Thanks for watching!!

I might have had a little too much caffeine hehe

Thanks for watching Beth!

Previous theater and radio experience haha!!

It is an option for the 2024! They changed the name it seems... forestriverinc.com/rvs/rockwood-signature-fifth-wheels/281RK/8067

How do you like your truck camper?! I wish we sold those, they look awesome!

@@RVswithGabby we have a host with 3 slides. It’s perfect for our needs. We can’t wait to take it to Alaska and just pull into a spot along the side of the road. We have solar and are all set up for boondocking which is our favorite way to live! We spend the winter in Arizona. Sunday we start heading north to Montana.

How's the journey going? Over a year in my own TC.

That's wild! It looks like an extended truck camper but you're right it is a fifth wheel

Awesome!! Thank you Jac for the information. Good to know! I only carry certain products at my dealership so of course it's all I am familiar with

@@RVswithGabby Not sure how you don’t know what the competition is up too? I found this new thing called the internet. It’s sooo cool!

@@jaccoleI’m not sure you don’t know how to properly articulate and use grammar? It’s this thing called education?

@@jaccole Gee, why the snark? Is that jealousy? Get a grip child!

What? Jealous of what? I’m sure the local Ford truck dealer knows what Chevy is building this year and vice versa. The public is too knowledgeable today to not know about your competitor. Snarky? No! Real world. Get a grip young lady. A professional not only knows their product, but also what the competition is up to so they can respond to it when questioned. The public seems to do their homework now-a-days because it’s at their fingertips. Like the Boy Scout motto, Be Prepared. Best of luck. @@kimwise5528

Good point! We had the same deal in a Twilight 2100 for previous model years and now the new 2024 I'm posting Tuesday they cut it down and it matches the kitchen counter. Way more practical! Thanks for watching

Awesome! How is it??

I chose it specifically for the layout...Mine is a 2022, and they(Forest River) made some design changes for 2024 that I'm not sure if I like them or not... Overall, I like the 524BBS, It works for me and the dogs(2), we've been on the road for about 3 months now, currently in Hill City, SD, and on our last leg heading home...@@RVswithGabby

Nice! That's a fifth wheel?! I'm having trouble searching it on Google... Sounds awesome though

@@RVswithGabby It is a fifth wheel but unfortunately it was only produced from 2017 to 2020.

Love the smaller fifth wheel, we got burnt out on the big ones, we purchased a 1992 wilderness 17’ fifth wheel, we found that in a small space we are much more efficient campers, pulls easy with our Silverado 1500

I know it's shocking, but you jus may have to do some research yourself.

Tracy, thanks for the feedback. If I included all of that the video would be far too long, so I try my best to get the essentials in there and I do separate content for new RVers on those sorts of things. Check out my F&B Friday videos and those for Newbies!! I'll try do one on power soon.

The 2022 and up “should” be able to,you can add airbags to your truck to help,they are around $2000 for a auto shop to put on,mine are getting installed next week to help with truck bed squatting

Laura, what is the year, engine size, bed size of your Tundra?

Absolutely NOT! They promote many of these 5th wheels as 1/2 ton towable. Please Do Not Believe these sales(wo)men. Many know nothing about towing. You can add springs, air bags, bump stops and anything else you can think of and it still is a 1/2 ton frame. 1/2 ton frames, axles, wheel bearings , tires and brakes are NOT made to tow and especially stop these size RV’s. This RV is 9000 lbs pushing that truck during stopping. Never go over 75% of a vehicle’s max cargo capacity , tongue weight or tow capacity. Let me rephrase my first response, Yes! a 1/2 ton can “pull this”; across a parking lot. A Toyota Tacoma could probably “pull this” too. This camper has a max weight of over 9000 lbs.x 20% = pin weight of 1800 lbs + 350 passengers,+ 200 hitch + 100 lbs junk in truck/bed = 2450 lbs cargo weight. No Tundra (or 1/2 ton) can support that cargo weight. That 1800 lbs pin weight is the camper sitting still. That pin bouncing up and down going down the road can quickly become 2000-3000 lbs of force (called physics) going down through hitch, frame, axles, etc. The pin is similar to a jack hammer, all that force going down through one small point compared to the size of the RV. Do you remember the radio personality, Paul Harvey from the 60’s & 70’s,? He had a segment called “The Rest of the Story”. Well the rest of the story with RV salesmen is they don’t give you all the facts, starting with empty weights of an RV and pin/tongue weight when RV is sitting still. Who tows an empty RV? No one! Towing is more than “pulling”. It is chucking, sway, wind sheer, pushing the tow vehicle during stops, hitch friction, tire friction on road, brake/tire stopping ability, etc… These sales(wo)men need to take a physics class.

@@RVswithGabby It does not matter what year it is. The Tundra has a max cargo capacity of around 1750 lbs. This camper has 1800 lbs of pin weight before you add 2 passengers, hitch and tools/etc stored in cab/bed. Considering you should never go over 75% of a vehicle’s max cargo capacity (1750x75%=1312#’s for a Tundra) or tow capacity or tongue weight. This RV is waaaaaay over before the driver hops in to drive away. Engine size and bed size? Really? There is more to towing than a sticker on a door jamb. ALWAYS have more tow vehicle than you need.

@@Scottytremaine Nope! Air bags ,shocks, springs, bump stops do not increase the strength of a 1/2 ton or any vehicle. It’s still a half-ton frame. Not made to constantly take this amount of weight bouncing up/down on it. Half-tons are made for a wider audience with softer springs, lighter brakes , lighter axles and softer tires. Actually, the more things (weight) you add to it to try to make it tow more, the lower amount you can tow.

And like she said, when you make pantry & cabinet storage, _don't_ chinze on the shelves. That's just cheap & it looks it.

I do not discuss pricing on my channel you'll have to contact me or check our website

That's true! Sometimes you can't squeeze everything in there right. Thanks for watching!

Check 2442 Rockwood!

Thanks for the clarification, it’s the shortest fifth wheel that we carry here in Orlando

Titan, I pray you have a good day sir thanks for watching
