Huge and Affordable Toy Hauler RV! Rogue Armor 351G2

[@noahtramposh3350]

there is only one fuel tank, the door just houses the pump and hose.

[@BigTruckBigRV]

Thanks for pointing that out! Cheers!

I LOVE how you always point out the great places for your coffee station......priorities!!

I don’t drink coffee so I like the space for me.

Lol he's definitely got his priorities right ✅🤣

[@garywilson3183]

I like it! Really like when you tour a toy hauler. Thinking about getting one to live in full time! Keep up the good work. I enjoy your channel

[@alandillon6469]

My ambitions as well. I'm surprised how light it is for it's size!

[@loveletterhive]

I am pretty sure this is our future home! It has EVERYTHING we have been looking for!!! The wet bath in the garage was the deal-breaker for us. I am so excited! Thanks for your videos; I have learned so much!!

[@RoenAccurate]

We have the exact one, currently camping in it as I comment this, definitely feels comfortable to stay in!

[@YouTuTrbe]

I love the wet bath idea in garage. I dont think I ever seen that in any other one.

[@jimmiejohnson7059]

Raptor by Keystone, around the same price. With the suspension upgrades you were talking about.

[@Spoolingturbski]

Yeah but Keystone has terrible PDI and quality standard opposed to RiverStone.

[@robkitchen]

This is the review that sold me my camper, I bought this brand camper just not this model. Mine is the 371 A13

[@PluginDuo]

Wow, thats really nice inside. I wasn't expecting the space... long trips would be soo much FUN with one of these...

[@Yo-lg4hv]

You should mention fresh/grey/black tank capacities. I’m always curious especially when there is a second bathroom.

[@boogie711]

That's a pretty rusty looking suspension for a brand new coach. I get that it's just surface corrosion, but it doesn't fill one with confidence...

[@loveracing1988]

Check out to the right of the ramp door. Rust was running down it.

[@tynottelling6584]

I’m thinking they screwed the pooch on this whole unit. Forest River isn’t hanging with the nice stuff anymore and this proves it. I have read a boat load of reviews and it seems I’m not alone in my thinking.

[@shanebeeson4123]

Just bought one. Should be in next week. Was between this and a momentum 351m. Liked the grand design better but for the price this will work

[@6013kmb]

I always appreciate Forest Rivers design ideas.

[@MrJamesLuz]

I’m 99% sure the fuel system on the Rogue 351G2 is the same as our toy hauler. Only ONE 30 gal fuel cell for both the generator and fuel station. The metal cover is for the nozzle and hose and the plastic cover is for the fuel level and pump switch. Only one filler neck = one fuel tank.

[@scroob72]

If you ever buy an RV, my best suggestion is to buy one in the SW portion of the US. Minimal snow, rain and MOST importantly salt as lot sitting could have an impact on your coach. Even ambient road salt in the moist air can have an impact over time. Especially RV dealers next to the highway. The rusted frame and bolts on this unit made me cringe as a "new" RV. We just bought a 28.6 Sandstorm 5th wheel by Forest River in So Cal and our underneath looks like you could eat off and gives me confidence. Rust around non reinforced weld spots especially in the suspension area scare me. Now don't get me wrong, you can remedy this, but work with your local welder if your options are limited. Shop smart, PDI the heck out of your investment and don't get sucked into a buyers remorse situation. Wood, appliances and staple marks are a cheap fix, the foundation of a unit, not so much.

[@lisamyers8407]

I love the floor plan. Pretty cool!

[@rdjmoto]

absolutely great!. I want it!

[@JoshHefnerX]

I've heard you talk about the garages in toy haulers being too long. I'm not sure how versed you are in the powersport market but the smaller 2-seat sxs units are a min 10ft, and many are 11 or more. A 4 seat are gonna be 13 ft or more - you want a foot or so fore/aft to get around them for tying down. Traditional ATV's are still around but the lion share of people buying these are gonna be sxs users.

[@foreverfixin]

That's a nice rig I really love the layout 2 and a big garage and a wet bath very nice

[@jetdriver]

“Why don’t they run the wires neater”? Your answer of course makes sense. But if they used an automotive style loom that would speed production even more because now your installing something the same way every time and its going to be more reliable and easier to service in the long term. Plus look at all that wasted space behind that flap. Space that could be put to good use if things were cleaned up.

[@yacoshaslam4443]

I'm excited about that Yamaha. Cummins onan generators are PIGS on fuel.

[@davidalcaraz6003]

Wow Great use of Space,

We should start a lottery for how many times he says 'very nice' in a video! :)

[@sleim754]

I have had two toy haulers and have yet to have gas smell. If you maintain your units then your guests that will stay in that garage will never smell a thing.

[@beverlyhigh620]

A nice unit. The only negative is that it's a Forest River. I've had 2, problems with both, always minor but just too many.

[@h.smith.6586]

Put our Harley Ultra in the garage, load up our two schnauzers and I could live it this full time. Lol. Wonder if my kids would let me park in their unused RV spot!??

[@Darandserge]

Ooooo I like this one a lot! 🥰

[@TheFiremanJoe]

I think the location of that exhaust pipe for the generator, is an extremely BAD place to put it! Having the exhaust pipe under the overhang, could cause CO to accumulate. They could’ve spent a little more and moved the pipe to the side. Plus road wash could cause premature rust.

[@x3dominator28]

The thing is JD most modern side by sides weight in excess of 2000 lbs by themselves once you put a couple accessories on them. These you haulers with less than 4000 lbs of cargo capacity quickly get overloaded with water and a toy

[@alandillon6469]

Different toy haulers for different needs. Not everyone is into side by sides 🤘

[@gordenfreeman4123]

Great video, as always :)

[@robmcneill2967]

Good price, very nicely equipped..if solar panels on roof or ruffed in would be bonus. Didn't like the carpet in the bed room.....Dually territory I think.

[@ricbailey170]

Think you misspoke on the fuel tanks. Only has one with the door opening to the fuel pump Only 30 gals.

[@leeglidewell1473]

Ric Bailey, thanks y'all, I was just thinking about asking JD the same thing. If the unit had two tanks y'all would think it would have two fill necks, too. Giddy up.

[@Glide114]

I like how they put the water pump right there easy to get to for maintenance work

[@jeffhudson1744]

How long has that been setting with all the rust? Do they not use high quality coatings?

[@NoName-zq6ic]

Pretty sad you'd have to break out the wire wheel and clean up all the suspension components and frame then coat em before you could even take it out on a trip.

[@bernielomax4859]

Seriously. Total deal breaker.

[@GAlan-nn6mu]

JD, Check out a cousin to this unit. The Wolfpack 365PACK16. Better floor plan with a 16 foot garage. Might be an interesting review.

[@BJHermsen]

Interesting how much rust is already on that frame and suspension

[@Shredxcam22]

They aren't built to last either. I would of expected it to be painted better.

[@wushock92]

SOLD! Oh wait, I need a 1-ton dually first. Be right back...

[@iamjtbe]

The wiring! The plumbing! Not many if any brackets or hold downs. I'm not sure about the mounting of things. In the battery compartment so much stuff is mounted crooked with wires everywhere. Nice design but not sure about he longevity or quality.

[@jerremyvinson6310]

Not sure about the rust all over already especially if thats a brand new unit. Overall good price point though and great review thank you.

[@ProbeGT2]

yeah i saw the rust under it and it looks like it has a lot of rust around the rear right LED tail light. I hope it was just dirt.

[@BigTruckBigRV]

@@ProbeGT2 it's mainly dirt. There is surface rust on the frame though.

[@terryhaynes1596]

The sewer dumps being under the slide would be a royal pain. I don’t understand putting the thermostat in the living area when the ac is in the toy section. The very shallow tv area would make adding a Blu-ray player or satellite receiver challenging. Do those doors have any insulation? Doesn’t seem like it from the video. Like the new frame on the front that allows for a different kingpin

[@terryhaynes1596]

@@Itsa_Mea i should have observed where the dump handles are. If the handles are easy to get too, and you connect and disconnect the hoses when the slides are in, it isn’t a problem. But if you have to use a dump tote it would be frustrating crawling under the slides. As JD says, there are pros and cons to every model.

[@christopherhodson4049]

Good job, thanks.

[@marcosa.lopezjr.1313]

We have the same 351 Rouge looking for a ladder for the pull down bed in the back about the bench seats . We bought are from the Ron Hover in San Antonio last year. Hoping you can help us out

[@RogueAgent1001]

Yeah! Wood shavings and rust! You go Forest River. Garbage, no quality control. I blame the dealer as well, make your products presentable.

[@dodgeitall3816]

Hey love the channel! Was wondering if you knew the pin weight and if a ram 1 ton srw could handle this rig? My truck specs out at 4200 for rear axle weight

[@alandillon6469]

At first I was impressed for the price...BUT! The suspension and number/ or size of axles make it a miss for me. Also for 45' a third a/c seems appropriate and not crazy about the loft, as I would use it for bulk storage.

[@ifish5409]

Do people like having the door going into the bathroom from the bedrooms in 5th wheels, when there is another one around the corner? Seems as if you would want more wall/storage space instead of having to squeeze a door in.

[@Nolan45000]

U should review the new momentum 29g class bumper pull toy hauler its really nice

[@scoobydew6327]

13' garage is to small considering you need 15' min. for the 4 seaters of today

[@insaneTrout]

the msrp confuses me because i am looking at the exact same model that the only difference is it says a queen bed not king and has a bigger 4 door fridge freezer in it. but it says it's msrp is 99,921.00 and sale price of 64,995.0 i don't understand how you get a better fridge and slightly smaller bed for 3,246 less or in the case of sale price since that's what it's being sold at in this case 5k less..

[@grandarchduke]

I was wondering if you have a video review of trailer locks for the trailer coupler

[@itsnotrobert1]

With two dumping valves, does that mean every time you dump you have to connect both and dump twice? You can't just hook up one and dump all of your tanks?

[@andrewfidel2220]

Correct unless you use a Y adapter to mate a hose coming out of each valve and combine them into 1.

[@duncan_donuts_1347]

[@BigTruckBigRV]

Should be fine so long as.its secure and away from anything that could melt

[@bpaul1201awesome]

Im sorry JD, but that rats nest of wiring needs to be cleaned up. These RV manufactures are more worried about getting the units out the door then doing a job right. You wouldnt be happy is Ford this that kind of job on a $100k truck, why would it be acceptable in a $100k RV? Lets not even talk about the rust on these rvs. They need better coatings on the frames, suspension, etc. No way would i buy a unit with it looking like that. If the manufactures slowed down just a little and let their employees have time to properly run those wires, lines, hoses then im sure a lot of their warranty work would go away. Ive been looking to upgrade my current RV and im not very pleased with whats out there on the market due to them being rushed out the door. This is also the price range im shopping as well.

[@shanetaylor7581]

Can you not get to the garage if the pop-outs are in?

[@sewinlove_co]

Why do they split up the propane tanks with one on each side? Seems inconvenient.

[@garrettprice9411]

17,435 GVWR, 13, 422 dry weight, and with only (2) 7,000 lbs axles...Can someone explain to me how this works?

[@superjoe83]

you will have at least 3500 of that 17500 gvwr on the pin, that's how they get away with it, but I'm sure with full fuel, water and a side by side in the back it will be over axle capacity

[@garrettprice9411]

@@superjoe83 Makes sense, but I agree it will be over the axle capacity. At a minimum, axle capacity should always equal the GVWR rating. Manufacturers always cutting corners...

[@stevewhitsett7744]

@@garrettprice9411 Not true. Finding a 5th wheel that meets that criteria would be very rare. It is standard practice to expect a portion of the GVWR to be carried by the “5th wheel” ie the truck. It may seem strange to you.... but it is the norm... and frankly there is nothing wrong with it. The Axles carry their share of the load, the Truck carries its share. A properly loaded and balanced trailer needs to be set up this way. The GVWR is set based on these principles.

[@alandillon6469]

I agree it's sketchy as hell if you are maximum out the capacity every time you tow, plus it has garbage suspension on top of that. I'd probably be ok with just a motorcycle back there, but would still need upgraded shackles. It needs 8k axles if only two!
