In our search for the perfect RV for us....we tour a Luxe 48FB Toy Hauler. Luxe has a reputation for building quality RVs but we've never seen one. Luxe has an interesting business concept as they sell directly to the public from their factory and also have a warehouse showroom in north Texas. We visit the showroom and share our experience.
********** WHO WE ARE ************************
We are Jim and Kellie, a retired couple living full time in our RV and traveling North America in our Heavy Duty RV Hauler, 5th wheel and Smart car. We get to have the freedom to travel the continent, soak up all this beautiful land has to offer, and then fall asleep in our own beds! We are Believers and really enjoy visiting different churches while we travel.

Thanks for the walk thru on that good looking Fifth Wheel. We (my wife and me) went to the RV Factory in October 2019 and saw the same 48 ft. Toy Hauler that JD on BTBRV reviewed on his channel last year. They are very well built RV's and the fit-and-finish is on par with some of the best units on the market. We had the same comments about limited countertop space in the kitchen as you both did. We also have a Berkey and a must have drip/Keurig coffee maker that has to be available wherever we stay. That size unit was a bit heavy for our Ford F-450 dually truck and we didn't want to spend the extra to get one of the M2's although we were tempted to consider it. Good luck in your travels and search for your perfect Home on the road.

I’m looking at the front bath from the 39FB applied to the 48FT toyhauler. I am curious as to what else you find out there. Axle size and suspension are very important for the amount of traveling you will do. At least they are to me. Great video gives a good perspective of size with you both walking around. From what I understand Luxe is a custom builder, that may play a big role going forward. It seems the dish washer would go below the sink on the TH. Please keep in mind your smart car would fit in that garage it may give you options. I am looking at the Maverick trail it’s shorter and narrower to fit on the Paiute trails in Utah. You should check that out. Thank you for taking the time to post the video.

All good points Roger. Unfortunately if we loaded the car in the garage the CanAm won't fit on the truck bed. We had a friend build a CAD drawing and we just can't make it fit. We've considered moving to a smaller toy, but are really spoiled with the suspension on this machine....but may have to change if we can't find a good compromise. Really appreciate the kind words and taking the time to comment.

Do y’all ever put the top down on your smart? I’ve been pondering buying a convertible smart, but they seem surprisingly rare. So have you considered putting the Smart in the garage, this keeping the bathroom, and putting the toy on the truck? We put our RZR4 on our truck and absolutely love it!
@SuiteTravels
@SuiteTravels 4 жыл бұрын
Hey Chap! We do put the top down on the car, but not as often as we thought we would. The convertibles are rare and since Smart stopped importing into the US in 2017 they are getting harder and harder to find. We have considered putting the car in the garage, in fact we tested in our friend's DRV Fullhouse and it fit nicely. Our side-by-side is 12' long and we can't get the design to work on the current truck bed. We really don't want to extend the bed any further, so we're looking for a toy hauler that would fit our needs.
@chapc
@chapc 4 жыл бұрын
Suite Travels Thank you, very interesting. So when you say you cannot get the design to work I am guessing you have considered using a steep angle ramp up the back of the cab. We ended up putting nine feet of frame on the back of our Volvo 730. Wow is that ever long now. Of course (and the main reason I have not purchased a smart) we have three boys so we can fit the rzr4 and four dirt bikes on the bed. We roll fairly toy heavy, but we really want to get out of the toy hauler and into a mid bunk. I just really want the larger living room. Thank you for your comment son the L shaped couch. I am about the same height as you, and if it was not comfortable for you I can speculate it would not work for me either.

Hi ,Love your videos. I would Love to travel with my wife and see the country live you 2 are doing. Having that 16' of garage is nice but a big sacrifice on square footage in the living space. What about extending your truck bed and putting your Canam up there end wise instead of sideways and a Idaho tote on trailer for your smart car. That way you can stick with a regular 5th wheel and not sacrifice living space?
@SuiteTravels
@SuiteTravels 4 жыл бұрын
Hello Mike and thanks for the kind words! Yes, we have considered moving the CanAm to the truck bed and we had it designed on a CAD program....but it won't fit. With the clearance we need for the front of the RV we'd have to raise the CanAm on an angle and to give us the required room the CanAm would be 14' 3" in the air! We really don't want to extend the truck bed, so we're looking for another way to haul it. We have some friends that have the Idaho Tote, but if we put a 12' Tote on the back of the RV our "tail swing" would be massive. Hopefully you'll be able to realize your dream and do some traveling. As we say....it all starts with an idea!

Hi Suite Travels! LOL! Just had a couple of ideas yesterday ,other possible options. You are correct if you stretched the frame of your truck by cantilevering it out farther over the back of your drive axles it would take to much weight off your steer axle. Not good. I was actually thinking stretching the frame ahead of the drives. It does create a longer wheelbase. Which will affect your turning radius, but I know for Peterbilt they make a tighter turning front axle to compensate for that. Not sure about Western Star, probably do. Anyway just some thoughts. I was in and had a excavation business in California for almost 30 years. I sold that, business was not great anymore with the economy there and all the new rules at the time. In 2014 i bought an over the road truck and trailer and started in the freight business mostly moving equipment. I have enjoyed seeing the country. Since then my wife and I have moved to the Northwest, for us we think it's a big improvement and Love it there. My wife goes out on the road with me a couple times of year. I totally love it when she is with me ( a little cramped in our truck lol, but worth it ). It's a lot more fun seeing the cool sites around this great country when she is with me. The way you 2 are doing it together is great. That is one of the reasons I enjoy your videos so much. You 2 seem like a great couple and are having fun traveling the country together. Keep it up and hope to see more of your adventures together. Maybe some day I'll trade in this commercial rig and get an RV setup and see you in a RV park. Safe travels!

some air down the tires to get theirs to fit in the garage ?

Hello Jack....it's not a height issue that we have, it's a length issue. Our CanAm has a custom roll cage that makes us 12' long which protrudes beyond the tires front and rear.

I watch your you tube I have looked at luxe rv for two years because they are a factory direct company they try to do everything they can to help I have drove a semi for twenty-five years I know you can pull a 53 foot trailer any where In the us I have not ask them but I wonder if they could make you a 53 foot trailer I know you have a big rig I wonder if they could take your front living room coach and put a garage on it

That would be pretty cool Anthony! I haven't talked to them about a true full custom coach, but there is a company that will build exactly what you're suggesting....but it's a lot of money! This is our home and we want to be comfortable, but there is a limit to our spending 😉. Have a great week!

If it’s only going to be the 2 of you, you can order it without the 1/2 bath. Then you can fit everything. Edit: so, at the end, you said that. Haha! Honestly, I’d rather have all the room inside without the toy hauler part. It stinks but toy haulers just can’t give me enough living area.

Hey Chip....we haven't contacted New Horizons regarding price yet, but the Luxe we toured is listed at $177,900 on their internet page. Thanks for the comment....we'll probably put the other floor plans on the channel. Have a great weekend!

@@SuiteTravels I think you will be most impressed with New Horizons. My wife and I have an immaculate 2007 Carriage C-Force Toy Hauler that we had custom painted by Carrera Designs (www.carreradesigns.com/index.html) who I learned about from visiting and having a factory tour of New Horizons. My wife and I are thinking about going full time in ~ five years and if we do, I suspect a New Horizons will be our choice for our full time home. I have liked looking at what Luxe and DRV have to offer; however, I suspect that New Horizons offers a better quality product. I have enjoyed watching your videos lately. Stay safe and healthy!!!

It looks nice but I HATE brown furniture. I know you can order a different color. I never cared for a side patio and think it's not worth losing interior space. Personally I prefer our 45' diesel pusher with 1950 ft. lb. of torque. I can haul 20 K lbs. and I'm considering switching out our 18' enclosed trailer for a 20' stacker. But that will put us over the 65' overall length that several states have.

Hi Roy. The dark brown wasn't our favorite either, but as you say that can be changed. We're not fans of the "L" couch, but Deb assured us we could change that too. Sounds like you've got quite a nice rig. We've talked about a DP, but we're sort of spoiled with our current tow rig and we really haven't seen a DP floor plan that we like as well as our 5th wheel, but we never-say-never 😉

Suite Travels Just curious because I’ve been a driver for over 30 years and with quite a few of those being oversized. Safety (mirrors) and security (chains/tie downs) are not measured, vehicle and load are. We’re currently in an F350 with a 33’ bumper pull, but that leaves ‘Belle’ our ‘19 Harley Street Glide in the bed of the truck. We’ve got another year to go before going full time. We’ve chose the toy hauler, Cougar 353SRX and when it come time we’ll find the right HDT (Volvo VNL64T730)and have RVH in Dennis KS set her up... You guys have a great channel!!!

Thanks for all your vlogs. My wife and I reside in WA state and enjoy when u two travel near by. I'm a teacher and we plan to leave town for spring break. A few family members have canceled but my wife wants to get out of tacoma. We have called the rv location and they plan to stay open but under strict rules...or until a governor tells us not to travel. U have open my eyes at a semi. But my wife says the F350 is enough. I'll continue to search the Web and dream while watching your vlogs. Its been 3 weeks since we both came down with the flu or cold. We are healthy making sure we stay away from family and friends. Be safe and take care of yourselves.
