Now this is nice!!!!!! I love the washer/dryer where it is and I love no window above stove and I ABSOLUTELY LOVE that stove and fridge!!!! AND finally someone got wise... no heat vent directly in front of bathroom sinks. Genius. For my full time living experience, this is near perfect. Where were the dump valves outside. Missed that. It also looks like real wood through out. No wrapped garbage. This one ticks all my boxes really nicely.

Nice unit with a classic floorplan. I like the way they implemented the half bath. Though I would have a hard time not going with the far more modern feeling "Front Kitchen" floorplans that many of the Mfr's have come out with the last few years.

Awsome 5th wheel my favorite floorplan. I have a filming suggestion: When you are filming inside the rv close the door because RV dealers are usually on super noisy freeways. We could all hear you better and get a better feel of how well these beautiful 3 1/4" sidewalls really work or maybe even the dual pane windows...its nice to see residential amenities but coming from a noisy road into a quiet inside definitely would also transmit the more residential feeling!

I'm a truck driver, my route is Seattle to Salt lake city pulling a 53ft trailer so I'm not worried about pulling this 5th wheel, it's the rv'ing part that I have to learn. Also planning on getting a GMC Sierra Denali 3500 dually long bed to pull it. Thanks Lavon

Boy the only thing wrong with this unit is the kitchen sink should’ve been to one side of the island so you could turn around and use that space to help out with your prep for the stove top and you wouldn’t have missed the lack of counter space if they had, other than that it’s right on the money.

Another note, all RV screen doors are problematic, especially if you have the common lovable dog along for company. The bottom section of any RV screen door can be easily removed and replaced with a measured cut piece of 1/4" thick tinted fiberglass held in place with a good quality thin profile black double sided foam tape all around he perimeter. Keeps the dog from destroying the screen door, while allowing the dog to see through it, and looks very custom and nice. Lasts for many trouble free years.

Your work in these videos is always spot on, so thank you again. For this rig, I have never been a fan of door side front slides as that is your main outdoor relaxation area, and with a potential head banger in the mix, no thank you. This is why I like the front bedroom units with off door side slide, and the wider opposing slides in the mid and rear of the coach. For full timing, which normally involves a couple, not so sure you need all that extra sofa space up front. You missed an opportunity to show off that overhead beam feature which looks great. Like any RV, when you walk into it for the first time, much like a house, does it feel like a home you could see yourself in long term? At this price tag, this one does not. Full timers are typically going to be 50-60 years old plus, so negotiating stairs every time between kitchen and TV is not good. This is why the best couples 5th wheels are the tried and true front bedroom & bath, with main living area in the rear with kitchen, TV and dining areas all closer together. These RV builders keep trying new floor plans when the best already exists and out sells all the rest. Advanced floor plans are for families with kids. This one costs too much for that, so a thumbs down.

My big issue is interior colors. Forest River advertises the Riverstone as their luxury unit but they still have yet to offer white cabinetry which we are now even seeing in some mid-grade units. Enough with the brown, please. And the infinity lights still? Maybe some people like them but I think they make the RV look like a very cheap unit with the colored lighting. Just my opinion. Otherwise, the quality of the units are decent. We've looked at quite a few.

@carolinagoldbug983 4 жыл бұрын

All that size and STILL really set up for a couple. With occasional overnight guests. Don't get me wrong.....it's AWESOMELY appointed for a couple traveling full time. But dang. That master bedroom/bathroom and kitchen/dinette is 2/3 of total living space. But leaves you fewer options when appointing the other 1/3 (and it's a nice 1/3....don't get me wrong). My other takeaway is that I was a bit taken aback at the dual-axle setup. I expected maybe 3 axles.......and the tires (not sure what 'H'-rating gives you) look a little small. I'm sure someone here will correct me....lol.

The island could be better with flip up wings all the way around to extend it. And make the table/chairs match the height of the island so u can make a big table, I'd like to see the roof layout, where does the exhaust go for the genny? And fuel tank? Is there a outdoor shower connection with hot water? How big r the tanks? 80 lbs of propane ain't shit... I'd like to see the propane tanks moved... make the entire roof taller by 1 ft or so, and throw 4 100 lb propane tanks laying on Their side under the 5th wheel neck with a slider truck style bed box and door system so u can slide it out sideways or out the front if. Needed. I see wasted space under. The axles where u could mount a massive set of tanks and I'd go with a double dually axle on air bags with its own on board air system and tank. Plus u can use that for flat tires or air tools, the outside tv would be sweet if it was bigger and was mounted on a slide arm the slides out then rotates up and turns 90 so u can have a big ass tv..

I just looked at the stickers for a 39FK...as I boondock a lot I would be travelling with full fresh water...the remaining cargo capacity is only 1080 lbs with a full water tank! A decent solar and battery system will weight in at 600 - 700 lbs...so basically there is no cargo capacity once I load on our clothes...no capacity for food, toys, dishes, bedding etc...why do manufacturers claim they have a fulltime RV when there is no cargo capacity for fulltiming? There should be at least 3000 lbs available to live fulltime. All they need to do is put 9K axles on this bad boy and they would be good. I know that Grand Design has learned their lesson in this and are finally offering an upgrade to 8K axles and they are upping the stated cargo capacity if you go for this option!

@BigTruckBigRV 4 жыл бұрын

You're technically not supposed to travel with full tanks. At most, it's recommended to stay well under 1/2. Also, the GVWR of most RVs do not account for a full off grill solar system (more than just decent). A typical solar system is a few panels, 2-3 batteries and related controllers, which would only add about 200lbs to the weight.
