Ive been saying the back patio should be an option on most trailers forever👍

[@Misscutieful1]

Yes, it’s such a nice feature than many non-toy hauler lovers love

[@tallblonde1976]

I wish they looked better.

[@christinachico9]

Yes!!!

[@lindafannon-cj9xi]

@@tallblonde1976Well with some artificial grass and a small table with a umbrella , it would look so cute !

[@barbarafarrington7146]

@@tallblonde1976what, the patio or the home?

[@justin_etheredge1926]

I currently full time in this coach, 17 months so far. It is absolutely horrible. The construction of the unit is cheap and falls apart, the on demand hot water heater sucks and half the time doesn’t work properly and it is way over priced. The only reason I haven’t traded it in is because I am so negative on the unit I can’t afford to get rid of it.. the patio is decent though, light weight construction so it bows in the middle when you walk out on it. Sadly, I highly do NOT recommend this unit to anyone.

[@nicholem4831]

How disappointing and frustrating. I’m sorry to hear that. Thanks for sharing your experience. It’s so helpful to hear feedback from people who have real life experience with these units when you’re researching online.

[@switz11]

Exactly why I bailed on this. I feel for you as this is such a huge purchase and once you take delivery it goes down so much in value.

[@OurRVTinyHome]

Newer rigs just aren’t made like the old ones its a shame they jus slap them together for money I am fulltime in a 2006 keystone outback and its great 3.5 years

[@Leeryannavy]

What year model do you have? We just purchased a 2024 and I’m just seeing this comment which is terrifying

[@cyclechris6591]

What one would you prefer instead of this one?

[@HillCountryWine]

I actually love the 5th wheel layout. I would be more interested in ordering direct from the dealer with some minor changes to the design. I would personally have the jailhouse bunk removed allowing for the additional headroom in the second bedroom. I would remove the stairs allowing for the bathroom to be a little larger. I would also move the shower against the master bedroom wall and place a larger cabinet next to the toilet. I would remove the bedroom fireplace and make the dresser 6 full size drawers.

[@Modfrkt_75]

I own the identical model that’s not a mid bunk and it’s awesome. It’s shorter without the mid bunk about 37 ft but the same floor plan. I tow with a 3500 ram dually. It has a ton of storage inside and out . 😎

[@damiandsmusicjunkie9335]

This is my absolute favorite RV by far. Has everything we want and then some. It's amazing!

[@kathyrossi4823]

Forest River used to make a Fifth Wheel Sandpaper and Sierra that wasnt a toy hauler but had a deck. We had one of each. I absolutely loved my deck. The deck also came with a surround that zipped on the awning and it made a room with zippered windows. You could use it when it rained or lots of bugs. I would have bought a 3rd but they stopped making them. The Sandpiper actually had a better cold weather package. At least it was a hardier bottom and of course both had the heated underbelly.

[@TheRoadTaken]

what year was this FR? I'm interested in that zipper room. We are looking at the G358RPQ (382MBQ just w/o the mid bunk).

[@kathyrossi4823]

The last year it was made was 2018.

[@TDiddi16]

Absolutely LOVEEE the bedroom set up and all the storage options. The stairs to the loft are especially nice with the age/size of children that would be using the loft area (ladders are hard for adults!). The kitchen offers a lot of upgrades (I'm looking at you dishwasher!!), but I'm also concerned about that stove area lighting like Myles is, good catch on that one! Plenty of overhead storage in the living room and the sliding glass door to the patio is awesome! Love the patio on a non-toy hauler! Great video McCall's!! 👍🏻

[@switz11]

I currently have a 2019 Vanleigh Vilano and wanted a new 5th wheel. I was really sold on this unit until I saw one in person. I couldn't believe how crappy the build was. While the initial observation upon entering was favorable, once I inspected the construction and trim I could not believe what a let down this coach was. To me, it was all show and no go. The door fronts look great but, open the drawer and you see the amateurish, cheap construction of the actual drawer. The sides are just butt-ended to the front and back panels. While the sides appear to be some sort of wood, the front and back are just plywood. I could have made better drawers when I was in high school. Then, in the kitchen (and in this video) you see what appears to be tile behind the stove. Guess what? It is wallpaper. They didn't even take the time, or little money, to put fake or real tiles. Just paper that will look like crap after a few wipes with a wet sponge. I actually had money down on this coach as I really liked the back deck option. As soon as I saw the build, I took my money back and looked elsewhere. While I might seem to be nit-picking some stuff, understand this coach retails for $150,000.00. For that kind of money, I expect a quality, high-end build; this is not that coach. I just returned from a week-long trip on my current Vanleigh (unfortunately they are no longer going to make 5th wheels). My 5-year-old coach smoked this one in every way. The only coach I am considering now is the Brinckley Model Z. This new company has seemed to really nail a fresh-looking new take on a 5th wheel. But, alas since they are so new, there are really none to look at. Thanks for taking the time to make your videos. I have watched them all, even before you went out on your own. All the best to you and your wife.

[@giovannistokmans6445]

Thankyou for your information on the build/appliance and product quality of this 5th wheel. It looked like a realy good option for my family of 4, for full timing. But, when you are making a purchase like this, to live in full time with a family. you want good quality for safety and long lasting.

[@jibbygonewrong2458]

This is common with most 5th wheel and TT brands. That's why they're somewhat affordable compared to a house. The backsplash is rarely ever tile in any of them bc you have to consider weight. The materials used are usually less sturdy to keep the weight down, which is really important. You may want to consider the nicer RVs then. Those will be double the price.

[@switz11]

@@jibbygonewrong2458 I disagree with your statement. I have owned many RV's in my life from a diesel pusher to a small trailer and currently have a 5th wheel. Understand this 5th wheel has an MSRP of $150,000.00. It has such poor construction it is a joke. My Vanleigh cost me $69,000 at an RV show. Guess what, it has tile backsplashes and drawers that actually look like a cabinet shop made them. Not the crap this 5th was trying to sell.

[@jibbygonewrong2458]

@@switz11 that's awesome!

[@whitewolfsthoughts700]

I think this would be a great fulltime home for my family of 3. One of the best layouts I've seen.

[@mylesrv]

I agree. Glad you like it!

[@kamitch290]

I love it! If you don't have kids, you could use that loft area for storage or a space for pets if they are traveling with you. I like that those rockers are removable. You can replace them with different chairs, if you like. Above my price range, but an excellent RV for someone ready to go RVing full time.

[@mrdonmitchell1]

Wow, we are a river stone and Montana family but the patio and dishwasher with mid bunk and loft makes this my top ten. Oh I love the portable solar panel storage above the generator, now that is awesome

[@TheRoadTaken]

That's a great location to store a solar panel, good tip!

Hi guys! Im very new to RVs and just found your channel and really like how you show everything in each rv! I also appreciate how you teach us what the names of the RV mean. For example FL & RK mean front living and rear kitchen. This 5th wheel could be a great fulltime living. I have been looking a lot at tin homes, but now see that an RV might be better!

[@mylesrv]

We are so glad we can help in your process! Thank you for watching! Yes, people do love full timing in many of these.

[@ericaterrones16]

I’m new to your channel and I have to say I LOVE how you explain things! It makes the complicated stuff more understandable for a newbie!! Thank you!!!

[@mylesrv]

So glad we can help!!! Thanks for watching!

[@angelabraden7764]

I love this, I could live in this full time. It's beautiful n I love the patio .. only thing missing is a desk, cause I work from home online, It's my dream to buy an RV n live it full time & travel ..

[@Dain75]

I was thinking that too. There is nowhere for either a desk or a standing desk for someone who works. Using the kitchen table would be a pain, because you'd have to clean up to eat a meal. I do like the big chairs in the living room area to watch tv, as well as the couch being able to fit more than 2 people. Another thing missing was a bathroom off the master bedroom, but I'm not sure if that's something only found on RVs or different types of trailers?

[@gmoney5284]

Can't wait for Montana to make a model like this with the patio.

[@kayrobbie5840]

This is alot better than the last one, which had no closet space at all. I like the patio space it looks lets cluttered and more open. Big improvement.

[@resQfurppl]

the back patio is great; i’d put grass looking carpet on it for my dog, how happy would our fur babies be to be able to sit outside in nice weather?? & not burn their little paw pads 😊❤️

[@marybuchanan2739]

I love the step handle at the door because I am 4ft 6in and use a cane.The longer handle making it easier to get in the camper.

[@tinajones5620]

Love the patio and the steps up to the loft. I love the layout and the colors. The cubby in the bedroom is for a CPAP machine.

[@michellemaxey8679]

I’d live in that guy!! Great floor plan and I love the patio!!

[@HillCountryWine]

I would also change the design of the bunk room. Change the cabinet layout to include a desk and add ceiling mounted cabinets above the sofa. Removing the upper bunk. I would also request additional shelves for the pantry and make them adjustable. Another thing that I did in a previous unit is cut the floor from the laundry shoot allowing the dirty clothes to drop into a laundry basket in the basement. We preferred to omit the washer/dryer and keep the closet space. We typically stay at resorts or parks that provide washer/dryers. We loved keeping the dirty clothes in the basement with a bag containing all of the laundry products. I would take your suggestion and change the light about the beds in both rooms and the dining table.

[@mastery4living187]

All in the family! I love it! Good to see you Myles!

[@tinatomaszewski6473]

Wow! I love this one! Now all I need is a truck! LOL

[@pegatheetoo1437]

Love the living room & patio ... Feels like a real living room. Like the stairs much better than a ladder. But, I'm claustrophobic & the loft is just a little too short for me. It would be great for kids though & safer with stairs! However, if I had to clean up after little ones ... Nope! 😅

[@tchrof6th]

Love the trashcan in the drawer!

[@journeyhome98]

I love that you open all the cabinets!!!

[@kathleenkendrick9034]

Thank you Myles for all the info I always learn something new when I'm watching your review videos....love you guys....

[@ChasingtheJoneses]

When they put the door to a MB of the kitchen, you lose counterspace! :-/ A jacket rack is one of my must--haves! The midbunk window is LOWER which means that you don't lose the light when you raise the upper bunk out of the way. Great change! I love the stairs up instead of a ladder so i don't have to contort myself to get up/ down. Otherwise it's nice!

[@slicksnewonenow]

Before anyone spends the BIG money on a brand new trailer, I highly recommend that they look into a "vintage" all aluminum travel trailer and a full size van to tow it with. From the late 1940s, clear through to the early 2000s, many manufacturers built their units with either a full steel or aluminum ladder frame, aluminum square tube house framing and all aluminum skin. The interiors really don't mean too much, because if you're ready to spend $100,000 plus on a new RV, you should be just as ready to spend $25,000 restoring a $5,000 trailer. You can pretty much do what you like with the interior. I've even seen a few people that have had slide outs custom built in their vintage trailers! Then again, to each their own...

[@stephaniewallace-jq4kw]

I loved this RV an looking for one to possibly live in and that one looks great

[@Ginseng14]

This is something similar to what I’m looking into for my family. I really like to bedroom layouts, not so much the living room but, overall I like it a lot! ❤ I’m capable of upkeep and cleanliness, so I’m not too worried about that part. 😂

[@toddroys174]

Absolutely love this 5th wheel…you can always buy the white led lights to replace the dim ones that are in RV…also maybe some led rope lights for above the stove area…and yes Mr Myles…you’ve had several brain farts In several of your videos…I’ve watched a lot of your videos…and I think your a hell of a sales men and hopefully in my near future we can do busy together and I can buy this Durango…good luck with y’all’s new business and keep those videos entertaining!!!

[@56music64]

Great unit for those needing a lot of sleeping zones. I also really like the patio and extra light with the sliding door. Good storage in the kitchen and living area. I prefer the carpet covered stairs to a ladder. Overall it would be on any deserves consideration list for me

It is a convection microwave.

[@sandrakerbow5247]

Love your presentation! It is so nice to see your wife helping you now. I love this! I would put all white and get rid of the tan cabinets. I would put storage above the bed also. I absolutely love this. How much is it?

[@shawncastillo210]

LOVE IT!!! Been waiting to see a video on this model. Thank You so much for showing it, you both did a great job - your always very thorough. We have been wanting a model like this and can't find one. Not sure we can go all the way to Texas from California to buy one so hope to find a dealer a little closer. I love everything this RV offers. Disappointed they didn't wrap the floors in the pass thru storage bay. Let's all the heat/cold filter up thru the floors. Probably could be done after purchase but would be a pain with all the wiring & pipes in the way. Everything else looks good and lots of nice features - with a big fridge, dishwasher & a patio - extended trips or full-time living would be comfortable.

[@oosterkamps]

I wouldn’t want the dishwasher. I’d rather have more storage. Also, I would want to make the mid bunk room an office or a sewing room.

[@peggyfullbright5709]

What a beautiful 5th wheel! As a personal preference, I would have loved to see a window on the headboard slide out, being on the campsite side. The choice of lighting, steps vs ladder, and outdoor patio are well done!

[@6thwatergateplumber]

This looks like a pretty sweet rig overall. Being able to remove the dinette is a plus because I'm looking for a desk spot...too bad they didn't put one in the fun room there, it's not a deal breaker at all. And I think I would left the fireplace for the living area, but this is all minor stuff. Really nice show!

Love this RV except for bed, it looks Stuck. Definitely needs room for night stands to put your books, a box of kleenex a small alarm box and more importantly a pla e for a CPAC machine this would be a problem for me, Also the mattress in the bunkroom looks like a towel they need to up their game😮

[@alexforeri]

[@americangoddess]

Love the steps! Keep it up manufacturers.

[@michaelphillips3158]

We have a bumper pull that has 2 bedrooms and 2 full bathrooms. One is at the back of the rv and the other is the master. The kitchen and living are in between the 2. We love it. When the grandkids come over they have their own space. 😁

[@viceb7]

What's the model? I'm trying to find something on the smaller/lighter side

[@whatiscrypto..369]

I personally really like this one. I have two kids and have been looking into going back to full time rving and something like this would be great. My only complaint is the loft being so open. I’d like to have it more enclosed for a quiet sleeping space

[@nelsonlopez4695]

You can close it in, personalize it.

[@gregfurr6351]

The only down fall to this RV is that it only has one drawer in the kitchen. As nice as the dishwasher is I'd rather not have that and have more drawers

I like how you’re up on all of the specs before you film. You must take a lot of time researching each unit.

[@Diana-sr5ub]

We went out and bought a real Q mattress, minus the box springs for our camper bed. I wish these campers with the leash latch would have 2 and they would be separated by at least 6 to 8 feet, because I have two dogs and need 2 leash latches. I need them to be apart so they can’t get tangled. Would take out the couch below the bunk (but keep the bunk) and make that our dog space because all our kids grown so no need for that couch but bunk for a grandkid would be nice. Other than that I don’t think there’s anything I would change on that camper it is amazing 😊

[@jgyrwa]

I really like the entire layout and amenities in this unit. Maybe they can add a floor vacuum shoot, in the floor board.

[@deborahweaver5328]

This one is really nice!

[@katejohnson501]

For the mid bunk the door should be where the pantry is. The mid bunk needs a window for the bunk and the length of the bunk should be included.

[@j.j.zarate2394]

Awesome 🎉

[@janemuir3546]

Some cool features. Dont like the bunk hiuse door that has to be closed to access fridge (not good for mom to see kids playing). Was expecting 2 true bedrooms, not a bedroom with bunkhouse. The length of the rig with the patio down wint dit into most sights. Wonder how dark it is with it closed?

[@rogergraves242]

I like that little spice patty rack

[@briankrone2631]

Personally y'all I love the setup of this model the only thing I would change is I would block off the loft and use it as tote storage. Keep up the awesome work.

I love his one the best. But no bunk room. Would keep it smaller and easier to get into parks. Love the patio. I have a. movement 😅disorder. So he swivel chairs are a big plus. Our grandsons and even a couple could sleep on the couch. Even a blowup air mattress could fit.

[@BlackRockFarm]

With all the extra foam that we added to our 5th wheel's mattress, it still sucked. We would sink into it and not be able to move easily and it would create a cocoon and we would sweat to death in it. We finally said screw it and replaced the RV mattress with a Tempur-Pedic. It's a blessing to sleep on.

[@lshawndavis]

I love the look of this and can totally see myself in it, however there doesn’t seem to be a linen closet for the bathroom. There’s lots to like and the hard part is deciding whether the decor is enough to forego some of the other things I’d expect. I’m curious about the alcohol, wine glasses and small appliances when driving. If they need to be put away, you would just need to consider that in making sure you leave enough room for them in the pantry :-)

[@sheilajolly1875]
