5th Wheel purchace help
Hi All, We are looking for advice before we purchase a 5th Wheel. We like the Coachman Brookstone, but have read that the large manufacturers tend to cut corners to put out maximum amount of units...

Agree with WyoTraveler. Really look at a lot. Even if you think you have settled on one brand, keep looking and really check it out. Sit it in imagining yourself living in it. Do the slides in prohibit any activity. If so, is this ok with you. Open and close all the drawers and cupboards. Look at the space. Look in the basement. Look at the countertops, faucets, finishes, etc. Huge difference between manufacturers.
This is a very valuable point. Imagine yourself living in this unit.
I noticed that on my 5th wheel when I bought it that the one dump valve was under the unit and back far enough that I would have to crawl under to reach it. No problem me or one of the kids can handle that. Well now the kids are grown and don't go anymore and I'm now disabled. Let me tell you that dump valve is a major pain in the butt now.
Don't let the bling blind you look everything over carefully and think about how it will work for you and your family
