I like front living red paint

[@JonesN2Travel]

We do as well :) Thanks for checking out the video. Safe Travels

[@scottashe8463]

That Luxe is absolutely awesome 👌

[@jandblawncare8570]

Its beautiful and definitely a "destination" 5th wheel, it was Wife approved lol

[@JonesN2Travel]

Yeah, but not wallet approved LOL Safe Travels

Aaron lux builds one of the baddest ass trailer like a motorhome luxury motorhome. Good video merry Christmas 🎄

[@JonesN2Travel]

I agree 100%. Safe Travels

I know Aaron if I would buy another trailer it would be from Lux. Luxe Builds the baddest ass trailer like a luxury motorhome. Good job doing this vide. I know I have seen them all good job. Merry Christmas 🎄

[@JonesN2Travel]

Thanks Joe. Merry Christmas.

[@loriw2661]

LUXE is my favorite 5th wheel. I had to put my HDT plans on hold because of cancer but I’m almost through with treatments. As soon as I can, I’ll get my HDT (again😖) and my LUXE for full time retirement. I’ll be able to FINALLY meet up with all the HDT people, which I’m really looking forward to. I’ll probably be the only single woman with that rig but I’m looking forward to it.

[@JonesN2Travel]

We're praying for your full recovery so we can see you out on the road as well :) Safe Travels

[@sherriweber7105]

Great video Aaron and Tina! Both of those fire wheel Luxe are nice. But I like the red one better because I love the colors it is. Everything is going up. Thank you Aaron and Tina it was fun walking through these fifth wheels with you. Have a great day and weekend and see you soon! Safe travels.

[@JonesN2Travel]

Hi Sherri. They are beautiful RVs for sure. We really had a good time walking through them. Hope to see you soon. Safe Travels

[@scottashe8463]

Are we going to get see it behind the Volvo ?

[@mishafrog8786]

Nice coach in many respects except the corners on the slides , if they can make cargo doors with round corners why not the slide s.

[@davidguest457]

What we talked about last week. Beautiful paint, nice interior decorations, but they are still a box on wheels bouncing down the horrible highways in the country. Still get the same components and have the same problems as an 80k unit.

[@JonesN2Travel]

Hey David. It was great meeting you both at the rally. Keep in touch and we'll meetup on the road again somewhere as some point :) Thanks for checking out the video. Safe Travels

[@scottfranson4215]

I click on ,to see if anybody has any Idea about The Insurance Cost ,What in The Warranty .That always much go with the WOW`s

[@JonesN2Travel]

Hi Scott. The factory warranty is 3 years frame and 1 year for bumper to bumper but they also buy an extended warranty for you so its 5 year bumper to bumper with the extended warranty. I am guessing $1500 or so a year for a full-timers policy but I cant be certain. Hope that helps. Safe Travels

[@TomandLoriRVLife]

WOW WOW WOW WOW! It is amazing how far not just 5th wheels have come, but all RV's. However, at that price point, I'd rather have some land somewhere to home base out of...

[@JonesN2Travel]

They have come a long way that's for sure. I can't argue with your logic though :) Safe Travels

[@barrypessolano1468]

We have a Teton 2007 , and it was 200,00 back then it has a lot of the amenities as that.

[@JonesN2Travel]

Hi Barry. The Tetons are very well built and we still see a decent amount of them out on the road. Built to last apparently. Thanks for checking out the video. Safe Travels

WOW what a beautiful rig, I’m not sure I could put out that kind of money though but I know people will.

They are sweet........😎🙋‍♀️🙋‍♂️. But get ready for the "yeah but you know" comments..

[@JonesN2Travel]

So far some of the comments have been colorful LOL. These coaches are pretty amazing. It was a blast going through the plant too. 😁 Safe Travels

[@budirwin9825]

Their toy haulers are top shelve. I would prefer a 22' garage that once toys are outside converts into nice living area.

[@JonesN2Travel]

Hey Bud. I agree their toyhaulers are nice and they do a lot of customizations to them as well. Thanks for checking out the video. Safe Travels

[@akroadtripper6176]

So how is this to your DRV fullhouse. I like both.

[@JonesN2Travel]

Luxe does offer some flexibility in build and design that DRV doesn't offer but I would still buy DRV. Less expensive and built just as well as Luxe. The guys over at Rolling Retreats will make modifications to your coach after production. Hope that helps. Safe Travels

[@proceedingonwardinamerica]

WOW is all I can say.

[@JonesN2Travel]

I'm with ya there. LOL Thanks for checking out the video. Safe Travels

[@dwightsalter2394]

Great video beautiful RV but it’s still a trailer. Can’t see paying that much money for a trailer. I’ve watched a lot of videos of RV and there are a lot out there for a whole lot less. I tell people buy used to learn a to see if that’s what you want. Helps you see what you want and don’t want. They are beautiful and another great video. Stay safe and God bless

[@JonesN2Travel]

Hi Dwight. We agree, it is better to buy used especially from a lost $ perspective. Thanks for checking out the video. Safe Travels

[@tommybruhn2922]

Went and looked at a Luxe. They ARE built better than anything else out there... by far! The ability to add a window or delete one is no problem. Many real interior decoration choices make it your own. But it's just out of my price range. So the question "worth it" is a relative phrase. Can even half the RVers afford it is a better question.

[@JonesN2Travel]

Hi Tommy. Hope you are well. I agree with you 100%. Most can't afford it but it is a whole different level of RVing. Thanks for checking out he video. Safe Travels

[@elensia7107]

Beautiful interior. I am intrigued by the cheap-looking curtains, though. For an MSRP of $200k+, I wonder if Luxe could have shelled out for thicker/nicer fabric. If possible, will you consider touring SpaceCraft's facility and shoot a walkthrough video? The husband and I are considering their 5th wheel.

[@JonesN2Travel]

Hi Elen. Yes we will be touring the Spacecraft factory in early October. Stay tuned for that one. :) Thanks for checking out the video. Safe Travels

I looked at a deluxe fifth wheel yrs ago; guy bought it for $175000 new....the interior and exterior was in like new condition; very deluxe indeed, but he couldnt sell it wanted $55g; was unsaleable bc it weighed 18,000 lbs dry!! needed like a semi to pull it!! not many people own a semi or even want to go that route just for an rv...it it remained unsold all the years i knew it.

[@JonesN2Travel]

The market definately fluctuates. I know how he felt, it took us a year to sell our other fifth wheel. Thanks for checking out the video. Safe Travels

[@Lauren-vd4qe]

@@JonesN2Travel for us floorplan and weight are the biggest issues

[@joecox1009]

18k is not heavy. Our NewHorizons is 27k

[@calvinduchaine5501]

Not my idea of camping, I got a fifth wheel, don't use it much anymore, camperized cargo trailer works the best for me, gonna sell my fifth wheel.

[@JonesN2Travel]

Sounds like a plan :) Safe Travels

[@joegilbert7661]

Those are really nice rigs! Too bad there is not a dealer network available.

[@JonesN2Travel]

Hi Joe. Great point. They are all bought factory direct. Must visit Elkhart if you want a Luxe. :) Thanks for checking out the video. Safe Travels

@@JonesN2Travel We are very happy with our 2016 DRV MS Atlanta. The wife would kill me if I got interested in getting another one. ha

[@mhspear]

Ours has a cargo weight of 4600+ and I thought that was a lot. 1 bathroom, 3 slides, 3 axles ~40'...as much as that Luxe and I would add "more". I am a gadget addict....lol

[@JonesN2Travel]

Hi Marell. We love gadgets too. The Luxe is a gorgeous coach so yeah, I would add all the bells and whistles too. Thanks for checking out the video. Safe Travels

[@joecox1009]

Are the prices MSRP?

[@JonesN2Travel]

Hi Joe. These are "factory direct" prices. Since there is no Luxe dealer network they don't call it MSRP but I also didn't get the feeling there is a whole lot of negotiating that goes on either. Safe Travels

[@wortheverymile371]

That is a lot of money. Ours is 43 ft can't imagine any longer either. Paint job is beautiful but you better never take that around any trees hate to scratch it.

Spacecraft is kind of the top of the pile when it comes to customization and you'll certainly pay for that LOL Thanks for checking out the video. Safe Travels

[@davekenna2796]

Awesome but not once did you talk about power, propane did it come with gen set storage out side heated basement gray black water tanks how many. were they heated was 1 2 3 4 season all this would have been nice to know... thanks

[@JonesN2Travel]

Hi Dave, Yes, the coach comes with generator prewired in the front bay. All tanks are up inside the coach so they are heated along with heat pads. The coach has 2 grey and 2 black tanks plus a 100 gallon fresh water tank. This is a 4 season fulltime living coach. Hope that helps. Safe Travels

[@johnbloxham9028]

Small basement storage. How many batteries? Too expensive.

[@JonesN2Travel]

I think stock is one or two batteries but there is a ton of room behind the storage bay wall to add components too. Thanks for checking out the video and for following along. Safe Travels

[@michelevigil8887]

Hate to say it but... I have a lot more storage in my Heartland Bighorn, especially in the basement. I am 43 feet long. Pulling with full size Freightliner 3 axle rig.

[@JonesN2Travel]

Nice. Sounds like you have it dialed in. I have more storage space in my DRV too. Safe Travels

[@erxkeel]

Where'd they buy those curtains, Walmart? Hideous! And they were in both coaches. Luxe seems nice but I think they need a few more changes.

[@JonesN2Travel]

I agree, the curtians looked cheap. Not sure why they had curtains anyway. Our DRV doesn't and it looks great with the wood valances and the roll down shades. No curtain needed. :) Thanks for checking out the video. Safe Travels

[@6582rg]

Stunning. Absolutely stunning. Luxe doesn’t have any problem selling these work’s of art, so the price must be right. Do you know what most Luxe owners pull these rigs with? I think my 21 F350 dually is rated for that weight but I didn’t hear all the numbers. My payload capacity is 5,650 lbs and my 5th wheel towing capacity is 32,500 lbs. What’s your opinion on towing the Luxe’ with a dually versus your HDT?

[@johnbloxham9028]

Don't pull this with an F350. Need and HDT to be safe and you will enjoy the drive better.

[@6582rg]

@@johnbloxham9028 Copy that John, thanks.

[@brianroth7852]

If your looking at that weight class your not pulling it,. It's pushing you. Example I had an Izuzu 1ton dully hooked up too our flatbed trailer with a 743 bobcat and grapple bucket. I could pull it BUT When I went to stop. It was hang on to your butt. When I made a turn it was the pucker factor. Personally when you get these big rigs you need something up front to stop them.

[@6582rg]

@@brianroth7852 agree Brian.

[@JonesN2Travel]

We noticed, at the Luxe rally, most people were pulling with an F450 or bigger with a couple of them using HDTs. We are a little partial to the HDT since we use one and I would agree with all others here that HDT would be the best and safest bet. Hope that helps. Safe Travels

[@texasproud3332]

Great video super nice RV great quality but in view now is not the time to buy an RV honestly the only way to stop this experiential price increase is to stop buying !

[@JonesN2Travel]

That is a great point. The cost of materials will come down at some point and so will these prices but you're right, :) Safe Travels

Buy what you can afford, but keep reminding yourself, RV’s are the worst investments. They only depreciate and you’ll never get all your money back. On that note, the high end RV’s are awesome. 👍🤑

Worth it ? Really depends. Yes they are wonderful to look at but for me, its starts at the frame and how its built. That will determine if the cost is really worth it compared to the cheap ones.
