2014 presidential

It looks very good, but it IS HEAVY. The rear raised living room is unique and provides storage in the basement. The roof has a minimal slope. Many positive features.

It will take a Freightliner or Ford 450 to pull this unit. How many people have the money for this unit and tow vehicle?????

The new Carriage being built by Everygreen in Middlebury looked VERY GOOD. They have many of the former employees in a new location. This looks like a winner. Newmar left this market wide open for those still in the high quality 5th wheel market. Thanks Dick Park for your decision to dump the Newnar 5th wheel business.

There is one at the Tampa RV show. It was on our list to look at but we just ran out of time. It was pretty on the outside-saw it as we passing on the trolly at closing time.

I looked at the new holiday rambler presidential online and it said it is only 36ft is that right????? 115k seems like alot to spend on a 36 fter,although i do like the full wall bed slide.. pretty cool

I saw this at the Tampa Show this morning.....I like the full wall slide in the upper bedroom. I could not figure our how the door going into the bedroom worked. It looked like it was hinged on the slideout and would open and close with the slide out out. But what would happen if you forgot to close it back against the closet would it crush the door if you put in the slide??

..Mine is going on 7 yrs old and is very well built, very happy with it, but don't think I'll be looking at putting over a hundred grand in any 5er at this point...If I were younger, might think about it.

For $115k I would hope they are in the same ball park as a Teton or Kountry Aire. With those 2 leaving the market it does seem to leave the door open for someone to step in and compete with DRV.
Heck 5 year old Kountry Aire's can still fetch $80k.

115k???? DANG a bit pricey looks like they are trying to compete with DRV ...that is WAY out of most peoples price range, there are too many 40 ft 5th's in the 55-65k range that are REALLY NICE and 4 season rated

Looking at the standard features, it looks good. Just a few that I like, H rated 17.5 tires, 8K axles, ducted AC with heat pumps, 60" shower, 60" bathroom vanity, Lane furniture, double "Z" frame with front and back pass through storage, auto level to name a few. We have been looking for a new rig, trying to find out more about this one now.

I hope the quality is still there, like it used to be with Holiday Rambler.

Time will tell. 115,000 seems like a steep price. I wonder how many people will take the plunge at that price.

Picked up a brochure at the RV show over the weekend. Showing 4 floorplans and all have a step up living area in the rear allowing underneath storage. Dealer said they should be hitting the lots in March-April time frame. Only have specs listed for 1 model, it is 39'11" long with a GVWR of 18,400 lbs. Looks decked out pretty good with not many options.

They've gotten a little heavier with their GVW. Mine is 39' 9" long with a GVW of 16,900#.. The picture I saw of the outside of one really looked good. I like the full body paint.
