We bought out first 5th wheel after 30 yrs of various rvs. We usually went with class A. Hubby loves the auto level. He put quick connects on all water connections, you may want that with the positioning of yours. Very nice..you will be very happy.
Looks like a great choice! I think that is just the right size and what I have learned after following several UA-camrs is that a trailer or 5th wheel really is the way to go. Class A, Super C or any motorized RV is problematic when you have a problem with either the house or chassis section and you have to take the whole rig somewhere for work (and breakdowns can be a real problem). This is by far the best solution to get the room you need and to eliminate the issues when you have a motorize RV. Excellent!
My in-laws did something similar. Had a 42' Tiffin for years. Then got a truck camper with the thought of esaping to the backcountry of Alaska. Then came to their senses and moved back up to a montana.
I appreciate your video. As I research fifth wheels one of my main concerns is the frame. I'm glad to see it's a BAL frame. I do have a couple of additional questions. 1. What kind of slide mechanisms do they use? 2. Did you do a thorough check of the plumbing system for improper fittings? Water leaks are the death to any RV. Thank you and keep up the great work on the videos.
Congrats guys!! It was pretty clear after your earlier video on fifth wheels that this was gonna be the one. I REALLY like the BAL frame like Jared does. Also love that massive front storage compartment and accessibility from the front compartment through the netting area. Best of luck as you roll this down the road to your new adventures!!!
Congratulations on your new fifth wheel also thank you for taking the time to go through it for us to see. I hope you guys have many pleasurable safe trips in it
Congratulations on your beautiful new Sportrek fiver! Love everything except those white awnings! They are such a pain in the rear, to keep clean! I wonder if brown awnings were an option, as they are much easier to keep clean, or at least don’t show the dirt so easily. Enjoy! We sure enjoy your videos! Go Bucks!
Thanks so much for sharing the process ! Since you started the review my Husband and I have considered sports trek because of your strong points and this will be our 1st Rv and we went and saw both travel trailer n 5th wheel. We decided 5 th wheel is our choice too. Now we live in Texas but, our second vacation spot is in Eupora, Mississippi. I like how you said this Rv spot in Tupelo was a great experience. A few questions. 1. When you buy Rv out of state do you pay taxes for both states at time of purchase? 2. Do you get the insurance quote prior to buying Rv so you have it already when you buy it? Since you’ve bought so many campers. We normally go get pre approved from our Bank and go find what we want and go . Buy outright. What is your experience on buying this way is it really a savings? I no this is different from car purchases. Does American offer any incentives discount if we come there to buy from them since it is because of you all we would purchase it from them? Do they offer veterans discounts? We have a 2500 Dodge Ram Cummins truck. This would be capable of pulling it? So we will be buying a 3500 eventually Can you post that list she gave you of the must haves? It would be great for you to do a video on the different process for purchasing a Rv. Thanks for being so informative and it has helped educate us so much! Blessing to you and yes we will be part timers Rv too! Happy Thanksgiving
Thanks for the comment, unfortunately we’re probably not the best to answer your questions. We’d definitely recommend calling Brian or Jameson at Great American RV. I’m sure they can point you in all the right directions ☺️
Congratulations!!!!! Love the new 5th Wheel. I am so excited to be going out in our new travel trailer we bought in 12 days!! We did the initial trip the day we bought it but it was just too hot to enjoy it. Going for 5 days and I cannot wait!! Really happy for you guys,\.
Congrats!!! Very nice. I was excited about the max air! It's the little things when cooking that makes me happy. The kitchen window... I'm so nosey, that would be my favorite spot, even when not cooking.😊 gotta love all the storage. I love the list idea.... Now the kiddos want to camp.. 😂.. It's about the luxury of it all. I love it. I love the closet space. In his mind, it's a pantry😊😊😊. Alex said, why can't it be s pantry. I had to play your response 2xs and he still doesn't understand. He's thinking bulk items. (No sir😊) That's a little odd design that the awning doesn't entirely cover the front door. Camping is not about the camper, it's about camping... That sums it up.
@@TravelingwithBeigeBettyRV Haha just have him cook dinner and run back and forth from the back of the camper to the front every time he needs a seasoning or ingredient and he’ll understand why it’s not a pantry 😜
If your dealer does what they say they will do, you are in good shape. Nowadays, Service after the sale is VERY VERY important b/c there are very few dealers that do this.
@@laurakilmer8652 They were great! Those spots you see us pulled up in are used to plug in and walk through your RV when you buy from them. We haven’t seen that at a dealership before. Wanted to get a drone shot of their lot too but ran out of time. They have a lot of RV’s!
First Congratulations! This seems to fit you guys better. This is what I love about UA-cam. In no way are we looking for a 5th Wheel, but we see things to incorporate into our rig. We love those bench seats that can be a work desk by the couch, but in class C would need to be thinner. I see a trip to Amish county coming 😎
Enjoy your new camper! It’s beautiful. We were near Tupelo camping in October At Tishomingo state park. Went into Tupelo a a few times too. Very nice camper!! Enjoy 😊!
I imagine you guys are lovin' the on-demand water heater, we certainly love ours!! A couple of watch-out-fors...... I'm glad your dealer told you the heater needs electric but ALS0 needs propane. Our grandson quickly found this out in the shower when we ran out of gas! The other thing, beware of very low water pressure. You don't run into low water pressure very often but we did once and it freaked out the thermostat causing the water temperature to fluctuate from the 115 degree setting up to 148 degrees and back! We had no issues with the heater before and have had none since.
@@BillGrigsby-z4i Funny you mention it! We had the low pressure on our second shakedown trip (video coming soon) but figured out we simply didn’t have the pump on. These campers try to get tricky on ya, don’t they. Cold shower is not a very nice trick lol
congrats, its really nice!!🎉 We have a new Tiffin 37BA and on our second trip no hot water. Our dealership is useless so hubby went on youtube and found your video. It was spot on, easy to follow with the helpful tips. We recommend your video to others who experience issues.
Oh sorry to hear about your aqua hot trouble! Glad to hear the video was helpful! Those thermostats are little trouble makers! Hopefully you’re loving the Tiffin and got some hot water back!
@@akcarg Thanks so much! The Charcoal comforter came from TJMaxx and the pillows came from our Redbubble shop. It’s a print on demand store. I’ll try to link the pillow page here. But if it doesn’t direct you correctly, just click the Redbubble link in our About section and set the filter to Home & Living and you should find pillows there. The large orange/coral Euro pillows in the window seat came from Target. They still have them there! www.redbubble.com/people/onamerch/shop?artistUserName=onamerch&iaCode=u-pillows
We where in one of these in the myrtle beach rv show absolutely love it except for one thing i,m 6.2 and the shower was to small for me they have a step up shower like in the travel trailer instead of step in shower what most 5th wheels use if they change that I'd be all in
Congratulations! We own a 39 ft. trailer with a BAL frame and auto level and love it! Curious if you guys are doing a meet up at the Tampa RV Show in Jan? Keep up the great content and thank you for what you are doing in the RV community!
I wasn’t surprised when I saw this video pop up. Congrats. Great layout. Wish you had access to the fridge without opening the slides - travel day. How do you handle losing money on all the trade ins over the years? Btw we are planning to check out the new Hilton Head National RV Park you talked about previously. Thanks for the recommendation.
Oh that’s great! You’ll love HHN!! Surprisingly, we haven’t lost a whole lot over the years, except for when we sold the Diesel. We didn’t lose anything on our Gasser, the Covid years seemed to help out the value on that one. And we keep our stuff nice, don’t make too many crazy mods so that helps. This round, we were made a deal we couldn’t pass up, so no money was lost on the TT trade 😀 Can’t open the fridge without pushing the slide a hair, but that’s ok with us. We like the security of having it tightly closed up against the island while traveling. Thanks for the kind words! We’ll keep updating how it’s going!
Congrats on the new rig! We love our 5th wheel, on our 2nd in 5 years. Val I was stressing out with you when you were unloading one and moving stuff to the other trying to vision the most conducive placement 😮 but that is what makes it fun and like a new 2nd home! I love the ottomans. Could you share a brand or mfg # ?I would love to get a few of those, as you mentioned you might have to sacrifice one thing for another and ours was a larger seating area for a second bedroom …not a bad choice cause I get to see grandkids more often…safe travels looking forward to seeing the set up and how you like the outdoor kitchen
@@tammytrio5061 Thanks so much! The ottoman link is in our Amazon store link under decor. If they’re still on Amazon, they’re great! Very light weight but hold their shape. We use them for foot rests or to put a little tray on for coffee or drinks.
Was waiting for this video from you guys. Congrats🎉. Was also waiting to hear your solution for the trash can as we also noticed that in our research. We're interested in the bunk version. The only gripe is that they have a different outdoor kitchen set up and I like the couples version with larger fridge. With your connect from there can you see if a special order to switch outdoor kitchen layout an option? Thanks for your videos and shoutout to your editor great job.
Thanks so much for the nice comments, our editor does a fantastic job! I’m sure she’ll be glad to hear that. Venture has already said they’re looking into a better trash can option for this unit 😀, but we don’t really know if outdoor kitchens are customizable, or changeable, or would even fit the layout. Not sure honestly. Probably a better question for a dealer. Sorry if that’s not helpful.
Congratulations on your new rig. I have a couple of questions though, can you show us a video on what the inside looks like when the slides are in? I am guessing but will you be able to access your refrigerator when the slides are in? My wife and I are looking at purchasing a 5th wheel within a couple of years and that is an important factor in our decision.
@@billtalarico4358 Hey there, we can definitely show it with slides in soon, but you cannot access the fridge, which we actually prefer because it prevents it from opening during travel. We don’t mind putting the slide out a hair if needed while stopping on the road. We usually don’t need to at all. We travel with a very small cooler tote for any items that need chilled on travel day.
Congratulations. Nice to have a bit extra room. Curious about how well your 3/4 ton did with towing it. I know your working on the new tow vehicle which will work out well.
@@dannycruikshank2833 I thought the same, but I really wanted an outdoor kitchen, and unfortunately, you can’t have both. It does have plenty of windows along the camp side, though, and that big window in the bedroom is probably my favorite. Thanks for watching!
@@ajenks73 Oh that’s great! We are loving it so far! Been on two shakedown trips already and those videos are coming up next! We’ll continue to update on how things are going. Thanks so much for watching ☺️
Good luck with your recent purchase. You never got an inspection from a pro before you brought it home? I’ve seen lots of horror stories where some people have issue after issue within the first month. Our camping is on hold due to some health issues with my husband. We browsed at some new ones and the quality was real crappy. Yup, made in the USA!
I have never gotten an inspection before. I probably should, but I tend to fix most issues myself, so I don't worry about it too much. I do, however, keep a list and make sure I get all the warranty work that I can't do or don't want to before that warranty period is up. Also, this is a pretty simple, straightforward camper, and that's why I like it-less to go wrong.
Good Morning from Lexington, Congrats on your new rig, like others I am not surprised you all went with another KZ/Venture unit. This has been fun to follow along your process. Just like you all we are part timers in a travel trailer and now my wife wants a 5th wheel so we can sleep all the grandkids. A couple of questions, the dealership in Tupelo, is that the closest KZ/Venture to you all in Bowling Green? Is there a specific reason you choose that dealership over any other? The dealership did seem very customer focused. Lastly, you hinted at a new truck order, care to elaborate or was that a teaser for another series? Thanks again for your content it’s always entertaining!!
@@johnhay1782 Hey there, Lexington! Thanks! Tupelo had the unit we were after, so that’s why we made the trip down there for it. I’m working on a Cummins swap in an old classic square body Chevy, so we’ll update on the truck build from time to time as I go.
You mentioned T-Mobile Home Internet for your rig. Are you guys able to pause your service? I was on the phone with T-Mobile and they said that you can't pause your service. Have you run into issues with this?
@@betterwithrum Not exactly sure yet, we haven’t paused ours since last Winter. I guess we’ll be finding out real soon lol but usually have great service with it. Had trouble recently in the Smokies but that’s expected in that area.
Great layout, Two questions…. What is your current truck, and could you do a quick video with the living room slides closed for road mode access. I realize the fridge is a no go, but was curious about what all is blocked. Thanks
@@RaaJra1992 Thanks, I have a 2020 Chevy 2500 Duramax. We do have some footage of the slides pulled in coming up in our next two videos. You can access the pull out couch, bathroom & bedroom, everything else is closed up.
@ thanks! We are looking at doing 1/2 time maybe and keeping a home based house for now. I agree with price point…I have a hard time justifying 100k to have it baking in our Texas climate. Congrats and great channel!

You mentioned T-Mobile Home Internet for your rig. Are you guys able to pause your service? I was on the phone with T-Mobile and they said that you can't pause your service. Have you run into issues with this?
@@betterwithrum Not exactly sure yet, we haven’t paused ours since last Winter. I guess we’ll be finding out real soon lol but usually have great service with it. Had trouble recently in the Smokies but that’s expected in that area.
How is their customer service when something breaks during warranty? I bought a Grand Design partly for the top customer service they are known for.
Great layout, Two questions…. What is your current truck, and could you do a quick video with the living room slides closed for road mode access. I realize the fridge is a no go, but was curious about what all is blocked. Thanks
@@RaaJra1992 Thanks, I have a 2020 Chevy 2500 Duramax. We do have some footage of the slides pulled in coming up in our next two videos. You can access the pull out couch, bathroom & bedroom, everything else is closed up.
@ thanks! We are looking at doing 1/2 time maybe and keeping a home based house for now. I agree with price point…I have a hard time justifying 100k to have it baking in our Texas climate. Congrats and great channel!
@ Agreed. Thank you so much!
