Our TOP 5 FIFTH WHEELS From the Hershey RV Show! Fun, Modern Features That Hit AND Miss!

[@ceimo856]

Brinkley hands down. Compare Cabinets, electrical, plumbing, a/c etc. 😉

[@stephanieduston7490]

We're going to be at the Tampa show, also not staying in the campground. We'lll be flying in & staying nearby in a hotel. We'd LOVE to join y'all for a meetup!!

[@campinwiththeconfers]

I’ve never been in a Mobile Suites. 46 feet is crazy! I really liked that furniture though. We have had the exact same conversation about the cost of the truck and trailer vs super c or even some class As.

[@brucefranklin6765]

The main drawback of a rear kitchen is it’s the bounciest part of the trailer.Everything in those cabinets will be bouncing around along with the appliances.

[@severecracker3640]

Yup, we were set on a Montana RK. Until we found so many people were having issues with them. Even with I S We got a front Kitchen Riverstone. Love it

[@OurNextAdventurejvh]

@@brucefranklin6765 Yeah we haven’t had any issues with our rear kitchen TT. We don’t take much, a lot of what we use is plastic. Not sure how MORE rear kitchen will do. 🤷🏻‍♀️

SportTrek is made in Canada.

[@martimcgaughey249]

I agree on that size with the drop frame you need six point leveling. A lot of KZbin creators miss both those points when they compare alliance Brinkley and grand design. When you come to the west coast I’ll happily come to a meet up . After going round and round we settled on an Alliance 295 and have been really happy with both the 5th wheel and Alliance.

[@OurNextAdventurejvh]

@@martimcgaughey249 We had the 6-point leveling on our Cedar Creek and loved it because it made the camper very stable. We like the Alliance, but like we said, they’re everywhere, and we try to be a little different. Maybe that makes me weird. Jarrett

[@martimcgaughey249]

@@OurNextAdventurejvh another great brand to check out is Artic Fox but I’m not sure you could sell Vall on the decor. We were looking at those when we found the Alliance and my hubbby knew he was going to have redecorate the Artic Fox. On the west coast Alliances are not the norm you see everywhere.

[@Itsa_Mea]

Jarrett, get the horse before the cart! Get your dually now and youll be ready for that 5er. Having the dually opens up all the options.

[@OurNextAdventurejvh]

@@Itsa_Mea I got the dually. Its just and 8 months from being built and road worthy

[@Itsa_Mea]

@@OurNextAdventurejvh haha. That's right!

[@OurNextAdventurejvh]

@@Itsa_Mea I'm trying to make trucks cool again.😂 Not that the new ones aren't sweet. I like to be different.

[@Itsa_Mea]

@@OurNextAdventurejvh in with yah. I rocked an 87 crew cab dually Ford for awhile. Made alot of friends in the campgrounds. Everyone loves an old modded truck.

[@OurNextAdventurejvh]

@@Itsa_Mea I keep going back and fourth with myself in this truck build or just going and buying a newer dually.

[@rvadventuresofdavidkarenlu3362]

If we get another Montana , it will be the 3623 EB ! Love it.

[@Super_C_Chows]

And yes on Tampa meet up , but for us Wednesday and Thursday only then off to Disney

[@missouritravelers]

We bought our first fifth wheel last year we love it for the spacious living area

[@FindingHorizons]

Hello! We bought a Montana 3857BR a year and a half ago. We’ve taken it across the country twice and absolutely love it! I work on the road so having the middle room as an office space is a great plus! We love the openness of the living room with all the windows and natural lighting. We also love the outside kitchen and a large pass thru storage area! The Keystone customer service has also been great to answer questions we’ve had about our rig. Although, we are also in love with that rear office Brinkley, you certainly can’t go wrong with the Montana.

[@joesutterfield6113]

A meetup would be great. I think sitting around a campfire having adult beverages & shooting the 💩 with Jared & Val would be a great time. My question is why don’t RV manufacturers put electrical outlets near the stove. We have a 2022 Cardinal 370FLX with adequate counter space by the stove and no power close.

[@OurNextAdventurejvh]

@@joesutterfield6113 Laid back and easy, our kind of meet up! Yeah the outlets can be weird sometimes. I’m sure there’s some kind of reasoning behind it, not sure what exactly the reasoning is though lol

[@patleonard2884]

The SportTreks are nice.

[@shanereed9673]

We would be in on a meet up for sure.

[@terrischaefer1955]

I sure would like a meet up. You guys are so good, i enjoy all your videos.

[@OurNextAdventurejvh]

Thank you 😊

[@RhondaFuller-o2m]

Would love a meet and greet but we are in NC! We just upgraded to a fifth wheel and had to make a rushed decision. We got a 2021 Keystone Raptor toy hauler! Our daughter is now away at college so our needs have changed. Hubby had to give up his outdoor kitchen but still has an outdoor fridge and TV! And the dogs love the deck! We have done 2 trips so far and love it. Leave Friday for trip 3!

[@nproctor74]

The only problem with the Sport Trek FW's are the Cargo Carrying Capacity, 1400lbs for a FW is HORRIBLE, I pack that in my 30' Travel trailer!! Sport Trek is like, "Look at all this storage in the front bay that you CANT use!!!" muahahwhhaahha

[@walterrafolski5662]

Great job on picking fifth wheels, I borrowed a truck to pick up our fifth wheel. We got our F350 DRW two weeks ago on Thursday and ready to get camping, like y’all it’s going to be weekends and a few weeks at the time for a while. We looked at Brinkley and Alliance ended up with a fantastic deal on a 2023 382RK. Kind of like y’all we had a class a diesel it was nice but too many issues with it. Hope to meet y’all in Tampa this January.

[@TammyCarter-yh9po]

I think a meet up is a great idea. We are the only avid campers in our family, so we need some camping company and would love to meet y’all and some others! I personally love the Brinkley 3515. I work from my camper now sometimes. Going camping and having to work a little is better than not going camping at all. I just get up early and finish early and enjoy the rest of the day. But…when we finally upgrade back to a fifth wheel, will we need all that office space? There’s the dinette desk, and the bedroom dresser can turn into a desk too, and the back office. But I LOVE it! Hope to make it to the Tampa RV show to see more… we’ve been looking for 2 years 😂. Hope to see y’all in Tampa!

[@OurNextAdventurejvh]

@@TammyCarter-yh9po We’d love to meet you guys too. And can completely relate with the back and forth negotiating on what we need and want! lol We don’t mind working while camping either, we’ve gone so much, we don’t really feel like we’re missing out on anything, and like you said, the breaks in between are great 😊

[@severecracker3640]

We never liked any floorplan where the kitchen is in the living room. Or living is in the kitchen 😂 We ended up buying a new 2024 Riverstone 421 FK. We love the floorplan and set up. Front kitchen is awesome. I would have settled for a tent but the better half want GLAM. So here we are GLAM

[@OurNextAdventurejvh]

@@severecracker3640 😂

[@kristingrounds4163]

For our final one we are really headed toward the Super C. Of course it will be a used one most likely so hopefully more affordable. I will totally be in for a meet up but we live to far away here in Arizona.

[@OurNextAdventurejvh]

@@kristingrounds4163 Well maybe we’ll have to head out West again! Just have no idea when yet!

[@kristingrounds4163]

@@OurNextAdventurejvh well goodness don’t come anytime between June and October it was 110 today

[@wannamakittravels970]

A meet up would be great. Like Joe above said hanging around fire chatting you two would so much fun. The two sink thing is deal breaker for my wife as well. The one she fell in love with was the Cedar Creek 38DB for the second full bedroom. We also like the Venture a lot, lots of great features, but I agree with previous comment the CCC is way to low especially after putting washer dryer in it.

[@OurNextAdventurejvh]

@@wannamakittravels970 I agree 1500lbs isn't a ton. But since we don't full time it still works for us.

[@CrimsonFury1982]

Regarding the electronic stuff you guys are weary of (touch screens, electric dump valves etc.). A lot of those premium RVs have regular slide switches or dump levers in addition to the tocuh screns. Some even have multiple switches. eg slide switches inside and in the outside basement and on a touch screen.

[@OurNextAdventurejvh]

@@CrimsonFury1982 I'm just a simpler is better kind of guy. We’ve had the fancy stuff before in our pusher, and it was great until it wasn't. But I am glad to hear they have a backup for the control screens

[@mikewadams1]

We bought a Brinkley Z3400. We absolutely love it. There are a lot of good fifth wheels out there, but the Brinkley checked all our boxes. I never understood double sinks? There is not enough room for 2 people.

[@OurNextAdventurejvh]

@@mikewadams1 They’re nice. We really liked the rear office model.

[@mikewadams1]

@@OurNextAdventurejvh I know! They came out with that a few weeks after we bought the Z3400. We probably would have bought that instead although my wife loves the rear kitchen and patio. We made trade up in a year or two. We will be most timing it in 10 months when we retire.

[@OurNextAdventurejvh]

@@mikewadams1 I know how it goes when you buy something; they come out with something you like a little better the next week-our life story. Congratulations on your upcoming retirement. When that day comes for us, we will probably camp half-time, but I don't think we will ever camp full-time. I like tinkering with cars too much.

[@mikewadams1]

@@OurNextAdventurejvhYup, us as well. We have a wood shop and my wife likes her crafting. She could stock a Hobby Lobby 😁

[@RoadieWingZZ]

We really like the SportTreks too, but prefer the 353VIK version. The only downside side is lack of countertop space next to the stove top that’s balanced. The assymetrical stuff bugs me. Loved the BAL frame and storage compartment.

[@OurNextAdventurejvh]

@@RoadieWingZZ We like the VIK as well, but for the counter space, the VRK is definitely way better.

[@bobbieforsythe]

Meetup would be great

[@marissaromero]

Awesome video

[@OurNextAdventurejvh]

@@marissaromero Thanks, Marissa!

[@3drvadventures748]

How are you guys going to fit that 46’ Fifth Wheel in that Holler you all live up in Ky ? 😂

[@woodworker11641]

Meet up would be cool! We are toying with the idea of a fifth wheel but not 100% sure just yet. We like Jayco, but not the counter tops of the Eagle HT. (thermofoil junk) So solid surface is a major plus for us, along with a lot of the things you mentioned summed up Solid but simple. The Sport trek I like Kim likes the rear kitchen too and she wants a big window in the back! Thanks for the reviews! I may be in your turf doing some agriculture rescue training in early November! is that still semi decent camping weather in Southern part of the state?

[@OurNextAdventurejvh]

@@woodworker11641 November is in Southern Kentucky, which is hit or miss just due to rain. It shouldn't be too cold to camp yet, so you'll be good there. Happy fifth wheel hunting, and let us know what you guys decide on.

[@marissaromero]

🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@bradpearse836]

Meet up would be great! We just bought a 2024 Highland 338BHS and love it so far. We are heading up to TN and KY this month and excited to explore around with the new rig. We were struggling with either getting a fifth wheel or a larger travel trailer since I own a 2500HD. We ended up with the travel trailer that had the exact layout we were looking for. However, we will continue to keep in the loop of what's going on in the market and will attend the Tampa RV show again this year! Would love to meet up with you guys if you end up setting it up. You guys are doing a great job with the content and really enjoy the content you have been sharing!

[@OurNextAdventurejvh]

@@bradpearse836 Thank you so much! Yeah the truck upgrade along with it is a hard decision. Still should be great Fall weather in TN/KY, have a great time!

Also in the 353VRK, toe kick kitchen slide & you can't pull the couch out to a bed without moving the couch, good design, bad execution.

[@OurNextAdventurejvh]

@@nproctor74 yeah has to be moved a few inches doesn’t it..

[@purplemoose6431]

How do mobile suite frames last? Do they crack like other rv frames?

[@OurNextAdventurejvh]

@@purplemoose6431 I’m sorry, we would have no idea how to answer that. Not experts on their product, we just think they’re really nice. Definitely should talk to the manufacturer or a dealer for those kind of questions.

[@geminifox475]

We are retired but not looking at a 40 Ft , seriously considering the Z2900, trying to get to Goshen to check out the Z2900 on the production line, and ask a lot of questions. 2 things I’ve heard , not sure about, one there’s no vent above the stove ,, 👎🏻 RV Brinkley owners are not happy about, and what are the sinks made out of?? Maybe you two smart researchers can HELP 🫣😳. Also okay one more thing ,,, what’s in a Brinkley that’s NOT MADE IN AMERICA?? 🇺🇸 thanks again , happy camping 🏕️!

[@Super_C_Chows]

We love our Super C, don't ever see us not in one. It fits us and what we use it for. But I'm not sure Val will be happy, no matter what you buy from $230k to $800k+ you are never having the room as the 5th wheel or the Class A you had.

[@OurNextAdventurejvh]

@@Super_C_Chows I think we'd be just fine in the Super C. I like the idea of the bunk over the cab, but it is not in your living space.

[@OurNextAdventurejvh]

Yeah true, the storage space of the fifth wheels always beats the drivables. It’s all give and take. ☺️ I’m happy as long as we just get to go somewhere. It’s never really about the actual RV. But it is fun to have the amenities ya like no matter what kind it is.☺️( Val)

[@laurakilmer8652]

You know, I like you both but aI would not want to pull something that big even if it was given to me. Too Big, equals too many problems. Maybe I feel this way b/c I am 73 yrs old. Dont get to Rv Poor. Like you guys

[@MichelleMyBell]

Your camera is too fast ! It’s nauseating 😮

[@OurNextAdventurejvh]

@@MichelleMyBell The movements are too fast? Wonder if you mean our camera movements or the editing transitions? We’ll try to slow our movements best we can. Always trying to improve, so we appreciate the feedback. Haven’t been told that before, so we’ll keep it in mind while filming.

[@gregbell7323]

Can’t believe the DRV was exciting to you. Stay away from these. I had nothing but trouble out of ours. We lost over 75K on this unit. It is literally a turd wrapped in bacon. It may lot good but don’t take a bite! We fulltime and have yet to meet a DRV owner that has not been to the manufacture several times or have done multiple repairs themselves. Many other quality 5th wheels out there, this is NOT one.
