I purchased a 2022 Jayco pinnacle it is the biggest piece after carp I have ever owned I will not by another new fifth weal I spent 137000 I will never be able to sell it I payed 40000 down it would probably court me 20OO0 to sell it I am looking at used diesel pushers at least they have to meet some standards tow behinds have now standards they have to meet they can build a camper on a tinfoil frame and sell it consumer be wear

How can you say that lippert frames aren't American made? They are made in Indiana, I was just past one of their factories this past week. Keystone cougar is a great mid priced RV, you just need to spend some time on the Internet and search through the reviews on all rv's in the price range.

Lippert is American made…so not sure what you’re getting at there.

Maybe look at an Northwood Arctic Fox. You really don't see tons of reviews on them. They build their own frames.

You made the mistake I did on my first RV and that you a limited by your truck you currently own.

Good luck with your decision. You have the experience to get the things you believe to be important.

We like our current Sportrek 333vfk, and like you guys found our 2020 302vrb lacking a bit in space thus our reason to trade. They may be nice but like you i just can't see enough benefits to justify the cost of purchasing and maintaining a class A motorhome. I am also sold on the BAL frame and components. Enjoy your videos.

Been to the one in Crossville, TN. No desire to stop at another one.

Great Video, we were there in Nov and are planning our trip again for late August. It’s our favorite and we live3 in Charleston, so it’s not that far… we just like to be spoiled… safe travels

U buy What’s in U Budget.

Can’t stand Swintech slides. Hydraulic slide would be better.

Try Bisch’s RV Center they might be cheaper.

What was the weight on Sporteck

Girl u can’t make Up U-R Mind Girl.

Cougar Is Actually might be Lighter some R. Look for A Brinkley on Clearance.

Have the shower switched out.

I just got a Jayco Eagle and the amount of power outlets with usb charge ports in this RV is crazy! Everywhere you look is an outlet. Super nice!

No that’s A Real King

Seen it

Little shelf above the bed For Sleepapene Machine.

Lucky to get a Dischwasher

The only 1-Has Rear Kitchen with side PATIO IS BRINKLEY.

Brinkley is Expensive $$$$$$Alliance

Brinkley R Heavy so watch it but U can’t go wrong with Brinkley..

We went won't ever go back...just a very expensive 5 Star gas station

I have a 12v fridge in my Rockwood Geo Pro. You do have to be careful and not pack it so full that the food is against the walls, because it has to have air circulation. And, you can adjust the temperature.

Only concern I would have is the Salesmans 3/4 ton towable on the Sporttrek rear kitchen. Looks like dry pin weight is 2200. I have a 3/4 with payload package which gives me 3158 in total payload. Per Ford my max pin weight is 2054. It’s just something to consider is all.

So if money would not be an option, would you still be in your diesel pusher? We are currently in a 5th wheel and considering a diesel pusher. - Mike and Shelley

I would love to own a Brinkley but it is not in my budget. I love the lighter interior colors! Nothing over 35 feet for us. Happy Hunting! Ty for sharing.

I love the rear kitchen floor plan on the Sportrek however I would do your homework on whether your 3/4 ton can safely tow it. You will be surprise it might not be enough truck for the payload, weight wise you are probably fine it’s the payload you also have to watch. We have a 1 ton diesel and have a 32RLS Alliance Avenue and we are only 150lbs within our payload limit. We were very surprised when we had ours weighed. You will not only want to keep the weight in mind but also the payload when shopping. Enjoyed your video and happy shopping 😊

If you did not one so short and live full time you must see Montana 3901 RK 1&1/2 bath real walk in closet as much storage as a motor home

We went Brinkley 3100, you can get it really close to your price range. Bankston would not get close to the price other dealers were offering. The Z3100 is going to be probably over weight for most 3/4 tons, pin weight loaded is 2800ish. Mines been great, and the one issue I had they let me use an independent shop, and was handled quickly. I’ll agree, Lippert is the weak link, but it is hard to avoid them.

Hi fam great rafting, beautiful water. Blessings 😅😅

Hi fam nice train. Beautiful day. Blessings 😅😅

So excited y’all came to Huntsville!!!

VRK … Vals rear kitchen! Love that. Honestly I’m not in love with the 5th wheel, i prefer the 272vrk still but thanks for the video

Sportrek??

You need to check out outdoors rv. they're made in Pendleton Oregon. They are the best travel trailers and fifth wheels ever made.every thing your looking for. Go check them out out.

We recently narrowed our search down to a Brinkley and Alliance. We ended up choosing a Brinkley, because it was more premium and ironically less money. You said the roads in Tennessee are bad. Where in TN are you talking about and where are you comparing it to? Of course the roads in and around city centers are not going to be great, but that's common for all/most cities. I have driven in quite a few states and our roads in Tennessee are great! We recently drove our RV through South Carolina and those roads are horrendous.

Brinkley just had a recall for over 3100 units Z models 5th Wheel

Schwintek is a hit or miss system I don’t like them but sometimes you have make concessions. When my Schwintek fails. I’m replacing it with the Vroom system

When I look at 5th Wheels I look for storage inside and out. Big and roomy. I really want a drivable one though but Super C's are so expensive

Most vacations are stressful (without RV ing) . We take a backpack for 2 weeks in Europe (all the planning) 😍

If it were me I would seriously consider an Arctic Fox or Outdoors RV . They are better made . They build their own chassis in house and have them third party certified. We were in Idaho Falls 2 weeks ago and went to Bish’s RV and got to see an Arctic Fox in the flesh . When we retire we are buying one . The quality is top notch .

We have a Rockwood 30 foot fifth wheel now, looking to get a 37 foot fifth wheel leading towards the Cedar Creek ,you mentioned that you had a Cedar Creek? I was wondering why you’re not considering that again?

He is not a very knowledable sales person didn't know shit as far as I'm concerned. If this is what you do for a living there is no excuse for not learning your products. You were asking him simple stuff he should have known. I personally would have asked for someone else after driving that far to get the I'll check on that answer and get back with you. Frustrating....

Here is what I think....Wife & I were JUST where you guys are now. We appreciate the exact same things you two wanted. Here is where we ended up. A couple of qualifiers first.. One, buy everything KNOWING your gonna sell it some day. The issues with whatever you choose are the same for others. Two. Don't assume Lippert's frames are created equal. That is, each RV maker orders theirs to THEIR specs. So, some brands order a beefier frame than others. Three. Brands that are popular FOR GOOD REASONS, are going to sell for more later. I believe that Alliance does 10x better at making sure what you buy is handled appropriately through their warranty period. I believe that point has been supported by MANY people many times on every forum imaginable. 4. Price, we are EXACTLY in the same $$$$ as you. 5. NEVER buy a current year model in THAT current year. You are potentially a year behind, and the 25's are here NOW. Finally, we decided on an Alliance 32 RLS. It's right up the middle in price and will net you huge $$$$ on selling later. I highly urge you to look at THAT floorpan and see that the frames (made by BAL and LIPPERT) are beefier on the Alliance version and the axles are rated for 13999 and dry weight is 10,800. That's 3000lbs of flexibility. Loaded past normal, you CAN be at 2600lbs of hitch weight. That may or may not be capable on your pickup. We paid $63,400 for an ON ORDER 2025 model. Honestly, be careful falling in love with a unit that simply doesn't sell well for resale. You cannot go wrong with Alliance. Good luck with your decision...

We had a rear kitchen fifth wheel. Things break in the shelves when travelling down the road if you don't have independant suspension. Even broke some Corel plates.

Alliance are only popular due to KZfaqrs and their brand deals. If you truly look deeply at them, they’re slapped together with less than premium materials.

Cargo capacity is comparatively low on the Sporttrek 5th-wheels at roughly 1,700 lbs. Probably not as big a deal for part-timers though unless planning to load it up with solar/lithium/generator....
