One of the most impressive bathrooms I have ever seen in an RV. And glad it comes with the washer dryer. Everytime I see the hookups in other models I envision 3 or 4 pour souls sweating their ass off trying to get a washer and dryer into a unit. Can't be easy..
Love love love the rear bath! I agree with the large 80’s style mirror. Extra shelving in the middle if not a widow would be nice and it would break up the space.
I love this unit for a couple that perhaps are snowbirds spending the winter in Arizona or Florida. If you have another couple over for dinner and cards, the half bath off the kitchen is so much better than having them trapse through your bedroom to use the bathroom. That master bathroom is amazing!
Excellent 5th. wheel. The bathroom window is not a problem and the closet space more than makes up for it. It is not actually home after all. You were right when you called it more of a luxury couples unit. That's a good way to look at it.
I'm a big natural light fan, and a window in the bathroom would be lovely. Plus it would give you the option to be able to see outside when you were brushing your teeth in the morning. haha
Love this set up. Bathroom is amazing. I agree to split the mirror. 2 medicine cabinets and a window for ventilation. Also love looking at floor plans with a den / extra room for laundry and such. Thanks for great reviews!!
I like how they placed the Pantry closet between the TV and the Kitchen Cooktop Counter, I like how it make it feel separated Also they could have added side windows in the vanity slide for the bathroom.
Great floor plan. Not having a window in the bathroom isn't a big deal for me. If there was one there I most likely would keep the blind/shade down anyway. Thanks for sharing JD great review as always.
That's a floor plan I'd love for sure. I prefer the no window. Bigger mirror feels more like home and the bathroom I think should feel more private anyways. Also, thank you for all the great videos you make! I'm starting a traveling position soon and am weighing my options for full-timing so I've watched almost every video of yours in the past couple weeks. Keep up the great work.
I really like this unit. I could easily live full time in it. Honestly, I’d rather not have the window you spoke of in the bathroom. I don’t need to see outside while in there. Lol
Really love watching your videos, you always make the best rv content. I personally and feel like some other people will agree that we would like to see all types of floor plans from all makes. I just feel like we’ve seen so much rear living floor plans just like this one aside from the front bathroom. There are so many cool floor plans out there that really change it up and it would be awesome for you to identify them
This layout is awesome! A lot of room. I like the 1/2 bath just in case guests needed to use it they aren’t going through your bedroom. A window in the big bathroom would be nice. I’d love to own one of these and travel.
There's something really special about these front bathroom 5th wheels. just like that Columbus model with the pantry room in the middle, the increased emphasis on a "master bath" and bedroom changes how you use the floor space without sacrificing much of the Livingroom.
I like the bathroom mirror as it is. No changes needed EXCEPT the master bath needs a pocket door so it doesn’t hit the toilet and hopefully for the price it’s a porcelain toilet. Good job on the video!
Be very thorough in the your PDI. Turn on everything. And I mean everything. Bring outlet checkers. I had an outlet for the TV that didn’t work because a screw went through the outlet.
We have a VanLiegh Vilano 369fb that has an almost identical layout. Ours has so much more storage! Our cabinets are bigger and there are more of them in all three areas. The VanLeigh finishes are nicer as well. Great video, but you should check out the VL!
I had, what I thought, was a good Idea for a 5th Wheel Island with No sink. One that Rolls, and can set the wheels on bottom to stop moving. It also can be moved to other areas too! Just a thought.
Like the floor plan, but it could use more storage in bedroom. Master bath has plenty of natural light, so don't need a window--though I worry about that big mirror in the rear with bouncing down the road. Besides, the windows don't have side valances, so there's the peek-a-boo problem. Overall nice along with the price!
Would have liked to see window treatment on the side of roller shades. Helps with privacy and blocking out the light. Also, not a fan of floor registers. Good to see the central vacuum connection and nice appliances.
I like the master bath like that, no windows is fine. What I do wish on the half bath is the entrance to be off the hallway not in the kitchen. Nice 5th wheel though!!
The master bath isnt set up for the PPP, but that half bath is... it makes for a very nice space and thoughtful as a couple’s better half can use the half bath and not drive out the cook/cleaning lady from the master bath... ;). Really well thought out unit. Yeah agree could use another foot length on that island but its usable as is... might make a owner project to build a flip down extention for the island as a way to get that space....
Be interesting to see a mid-bunk version of that, instead of the 1/2 bath. Maybe squeeze an extra couple feet out between the living room and bathroom, which if bigger than it needs to be, if you ask me.
Very nice trailer but I think the one that we got from Montana Keystone (3931fb) has a lot more storage and counter tops. The washer and dryer are in the kitchen area where there is more storage in the bedroom. The price on this unit is fantastic. Lot of trailer for 56,000 dollars. Great video....
My only complaint about this unit setup is that they should've put the bathroom sink by the washer/dryer in the center of the countertop so that someone could use that sink while the laundry door is open. Otherwise, it's a pretty good setup
I really like this one! I am a senior with limited mobility! Those three steps from the kitchen to the bedroom are murder though! Are there any units like this that have no steps? The outside steps are ok as I don’t go out much!!
Maybe the camera picked up more noise than the ear can hear, but the Coleman didn’t sound that quiet to me. I do like that you can dump the air directly underneath it though.
Something like this is what I'm looking for when I retire. Were gonna spend first few years traveling while we're young enough to do things. Have looked at mobile suites, grand design etc. This looks to be on par to those brands. Am I missing anything that makes that statement untrue?
👍🔝You're absolutely right about the bathroom window and mirror suggestion. Also they should have put the master bathroom in where the mini bath was so guests have shower access. Also agree the kitchen Island should be a foot or two longer. Too bad no suspension gadget. What about for boondocking.? Please mention all tank sizes. I forgot, did they have a little shelf for the coffee maker ? 🤔
With a dual sink vanity, not sure the 1/2 bath is how I would budget the space. I like the Columbus 1492 concept of using that space for additional counter, appliance and cabinet space. That's just me though, because I would never have guests that slept in the rig!
It looks like a decent rig with a good floor plan. However, I should warn anyone thinking about living full-time in this rig to pay attention to the cargo carrying capacity. (CCC) I applaud him for showing the sticker at the very beginning of the video and highlighted the gross vehicle weight rating as well as cargo carrying capacity. But this rig's CCC is only 2300 lbs. That's is a very small number considering all the space you have in this unit. Once you start filling it up, you will notice you might quickly exceed the CCC. Now if you take out the washer and drying, you will gain back quite a bit of weight as well as space so if we own this unit, that would be the first thing we will do. Lots of folks don't pay enough attention to CCC of their RVs and this can be potentially dangerous, and causes unnecessary stress to your RV. We watch every lb of content going into our full-time 5th wheel and weight at a cat scale any chance we get. CCC of 2300 lbs definitely makes it a show-stopper for us.
Nice layout but very similar to other 5th wheel floor plans. Like the cabinets over the recliner area for more storage. Disappointed there is no linen/towel storage in the bathroom, no medicine cabinets and only 1 drawer. Why don't manufacturers install a full back splash behind the stove top up to the bottom of the microwave? Such a small area to cover, which prevents grease from getting on the upper part of the wall and makes for easier cleaning. That's why I don't like windows behind stove tops, which could be a cleaning nightmare.
I would prefer the battery disconnect on the passenger side. Imagine an electrical issue while towing and stopping on the side of the road to turn it off only to be struck by another vehicle. They should rethink that placement. The dining table would be nice if it expanded to accommodate 4 chairs. Overall I really like this unit. The main bathroom is really nice.
I like the layout and with a skylight, I wouldn’t want a window in the bathroom. One of the things people overlook in a 5th wheel is the cargo capacity. You can’t put just anything and everything you might want it think you’ll need in some of these. Something to always check and think about....
RV washer and dryer are typically overrated. We are full-timers on our second 5th wheel and even though we had hookups in both our units, we never bothered with them. It takes valuable space and cargo-carrying capacity for full-timers, and most RV washer/dryers can't handle larger loads and are slow. (to wash and dry) Save the space, weight, money and use a laundry facility instead...
@@admorris11because we live in RV parks full time and talk to our neighbours all the time about pros and cons of different options in RVs. Many who thought they couldn't live without them ended up not using them for various reasons and use the laundromat instead. I'm not saying you shouldn't get one, just that you should consider all the factors before deciding to take on the extra weight...
Is there a unit like this except for where the half bath is there would be a bunkhouse room? I'm pretty sure you have shown one but I cannot remember which model it was
I like the Sandpiper brand. They have different floorplans that no one else has. What concerns me though is the outside finish. I've recently seen some '18 and '19 models that were really faded. I don't know if it will come nice again.
Would be very interest in your review of a Jayco Eagle HT 274CKDS. I've heard it's a fairly new floorplan to their line and I've had a hard time finding one.
I really like this one. I'm fine without a window in the bathroom. The sky light is perfect. Perfect 5th wheel for us old people.
I agree with you about the window in the bathroom and the drawers in the kitchen. Very nice.
One of the most impressive bathrooms I have ever seen in an RV. And glad it comes with the washer dryer. Everytime I see the hookups in other models I envision 3 or 4 pour souls sweating their ass off trying to get a washer and dryer into a unit. Can't be easy..
Only problem I saw was no medicine cabinet in the master bath. And no need for windows in the bath as long as there is a vent fan.
Love the full kitchen. I'd like to see a toy hauler with nice size garage with all of these amenities.
I wish more manufacturers would isolate the water connections like this unit has.
I love the fact that they put the pantry and lots of counter space between the cook top and the TV.
Nice floor plan. Love the colors especially the range and refrigerator.
Can’t find a thing to complain about! As always, you provide a thorough tour. Til next time, folks! 😎
Love love love the rear bath! I agree with the large 80’s style mirror. Extra shelving in the middle if not a widow would be nice and it would break up the space.

That master bathroom is amazing!
This definitely hits all the qualifications for full time living for me. On the list it goes and the quality for the price👍 Thanks JD
I love the half bath with the huge master bath, very impressive! I also like the dark shades better for sleeping! A great job detailing this unit!
Love this floor plan, looks perfect for a full time bachelor pad.
I was thinking the same thing.
Excellent 5th. wheel. The bathroom window is not a problem and the closet space more than makes up for it. It is not actually home after all. You were right when you called it more of a luxury couples unit. That's a good way to look at it.
What a great bedroom suite on this one. Very much like a home feeling. I think I’d like some kind of window with less mirror too.
We love ours. We are planning on going full time in July. Super excited about the future
I like the idea that there is no window in the bathroom. No need to look outside while washing up. :)
I was going to say the same ☺ you get the natural light from the skylight and you have privacy! I also appreciate the larger mirror👍
No saying hi to the neighbors while pooping
Feels like a home on wheels. Very nice, and the floor plan is cool and unique.
Like the bathroom without window! Nice RV
That is a biggun! Thick baggage doors, too! I like it!
I'm a big natural light fan, and a window in the bathroom would be lovely. Plus it would give you the option to be able to see outside when you were brushing your teeth in the morning. haha
Love this set up. Bathroom is amazing. I agree to split the mirror. 2 medicine cabinets and a window for ventilation. Also love looking at floor plans with a den / extra room for laundry and such. Thanks for great reviews!!
If we are going to full time the 1/2 bath is critical. Really like this floor plan!!
I like how they placed the Pantry closet between the TV and the Kitchen Cooktop Counter, I like how it make it feel separated
Also they could have added side windows in the vanity slide for the bathroom.
Very nice 5th wheel. One thing you usually comment on, no coffee bar. With the bath there it's a challenge
I really like this one , love the half bath . I just wish there was room for a bunkhouse .
This is a very nice trailer. I like that floor plan.
Great floor plan. Not having a window in the bathroom isn't a big deal for me. If there was one there I most likely would keep the blind/shade down anyway. Thanks for sharing JD great review as always.

I love the floor plan to and I really don't mind the fact that there isn't a window in the master bath ,it gives you privacy
thank you for explaining Pdi
I also agree on the bathroom vanity

55k is super cheap for what you get there. Quite luxurious with a nice open Floorplan that can easily be customized with some small projects.
Nice. Don't need window in bathroom but maybe medicine cabinet or linen storage. TFS 😊
This is an amazing rv
The bathroom doesn’t need a window. I like that there is no window. More privacy that way. And the skylight provides natural light.
Exactly. What's the point of a window you're going to have covered up all the time anyway?
I like the bathroom mirror as it is. No changes needed EXCEPT the master bath needs a pocket door so it doesn’t hit the toilet and hopefully for the price it’s a porcelain toilet. Good job on the video!
Very nice Rig!! Can't beat your detailed explanation of the unit!! So far # 1 is The Alliance Paradigm 370 FB, in my humble opinion, JD.
Nice unit, I have windows in my master bath and i keep them covered at all times. Having a window in MHO is not required.
Awesome unit, window in the bathroom would be a plus!
great set up, no need for a window in the bath. were empty nest-ers with two yellow labs, this reminds us of our redwood 3901wb. great veido
Be very thorough in the your PDI. Turn on everything. And I mean everything. Bring outlet checkers. I had an outlet for the TV that didn’t work because a screw went through the outlet.
Love this one and think it would be even better with a window in the bathroom
Really like the floor plan, no problem without bathroom window, more private. Just don't care for the floor vents, should be in the toe kicks.
I like a floor plan that uses the pantry to separate the kitchen from the entertainment area

I wish manufacturers would do side valences on all windows for added privacy.

Very nice rig.
Love this unit's layout. I don't find it an issue not having a window in the bathroom.
LOOOOOOVE this unit!!!!!
I want this floor plan in a bumper pull!
Nice unit. A/C unit is crooked in ceiling however.....,
Very nice trailer but I think the one that we got from Montana Keystone (3931fb) has a lot more storage and counter tops. The washer and dryer are in the kitchen area where there is more storage in the bedroom. The price on this unit is fantastic. Lot of trailer for 56,000 dollars. Great video....
Could you do some videos on some 20-30 ft travel trailer with bunks?
Wow! 55k? I thought it’d be more. Forest river cuttin throats again. Lol
My only complaint about this unit setup is that they should've put the bathroom sink by the washer/dryer in the center of the countertop so that someone could use that sink while the laundry door is open.
Otherwise, it's a pretty good setup
Nice unit....window in bathroom is nice
We have the 20th Anniversary Edition Montana 3930FB. Loads more storage then this one!! I like having the window in our bath.
I really like this one! I am a senior with limited mobility! Those three steps from the kitchen to the bedroom are murder though! Are there any units like this that have no steps? The outside steps are ok as I don’t go out much!!

Amazing couples or Couples amazing....
It is beautiful
Great layout. I'm ok without the bathroom window. Skylight is enough. Break up the window and add shelves or medicine cabinet.
Something like this is what I'm looking for when I retire. Were gonna spend first few years traveling while we're young enough to do things.
Have looked at mobile suites, grand design etc. This looks to be on par to those brands. Am I missing anything that makes that statement untrue?
Not a windo ... the bathroom needs a medicine cabinet and a linen closet. The flooring is nice.
I would've liked a pocket door in the master bath and instead of mirrors I would've liked a couple of lighted medicine cabinets.
👍🔝You're absolutely right about the bathroom window and mirror suggestion. Also they should have put the master bathroom in where the mini bath was so guests have shower access. Also agree the kitchen Island should be a foot or two longer. Too bad no suspension gadget. What about for boondocking.? Please mention all tank sizes.

Wish you would include the length of the trailer during your description so I wouldn't have to jump out to look it up at a dealer to find it.
Or you could look at the model number perhaps the 368 is a 36 footer...?? Smh... 🙄
Curtains....why?? Blinds are fine. Lightweight, flush, easy to use. Loving this unit - perfect for an extended stay.

Should get rid of the half bath and turn that space into an office space

Overall I really like this unit. The main bathroom is really nice.
could use a skylight above and centered in bathroom. but agree.. needs a window in bathroom at least

Very nice. Does Forest River have a bluetooth app to run the controls? Such as incommand or sorts.
I'm not a fan of the fuse panel next to the toilet lol
I think it's odd that a 175,000 5th wheel does not come with washer and dryer already installed but a 55,000 one does
RV washer and dryer are typically overrated. We are full-timers on our second 5th wheel and even though we had hookups in both our units, we never bothered with them.

Serious question. Where is the light switch for the closet. I cannot find it anywhere in our camper and is the same model.
we wish we could bring you with us for our first time purchase!
No suspension equalizer? What's connecting the springs to the center hanger?
Would be very interest in your review of a Jayco Eagle HT 274CKDS. I've heard it's a fairly new floorplan to their line and I've had a hard time finding one.
I got a question we just got a new camper and the main slide is a rack and pin slide and it makes a lot of noise going in and out is that normal ?
Have a super duty 250 looking for a 19-25ft trailer or fifth wheel which is better built that is not ‘lite’. Any ideas?
👋🏻Florida ☀️🌴🇺🇸
I love it, but not the only access for guests to take a shower other than going through the master! And I’m ok with no window in the bathroom.
Bought a new travel trailer in 2018, vacuumed up metal shaving for a year. They just kept appearing.
