5th wheel with front living area

We almost pulled the pin when Montana first came out with one and their original layout without the hall going through the head which gave the loo a real usable closet for the washer/dryer really worked for me but in the end the total lack of outside storage won out taking it out of "full-time" usability plus the over-all fit and finish of the rig was lousy, really cheap looking but for the weekend warriors and summer vacation crowd I can see the front living room offerings out there making a nice rig for that purpose but as a serious rig the ones we have seen so far just don't measure up, all sizzle and no steak.

Grand Design Solitude 379FL.

It is fully walkable, all the way up to the very front. In fact, it has to be about 6' 6" from floor to ceiling, as I am 6' 1" and there is plenty of room above my head.

It is big at 42 1/2 feet, but it is 430 square feet of living space, which is the max allowed by RVIA.

Also still has the pass thru storage, front storage, and a rear trunk area for storage.

Lack of storage where? There is tons of storage...

And I disagree with the ceiling heights. They are huge in these rvs.

Take a look here.

Front living room RV

Don't own one and in reality can't tow one either with my 2500. Only one that's close is the Cougar HC 337FLSWE. Biggest issue for me is the seating positions are generally at 90 deg angles to the tv. No one places furniture in their house like that. Assuming you will be spending time in the FL since it's more of a long term floorplan as opposed to a smaller RL or RK, I would think the tv should be directly across from the sofa or two recliners. Also the kitchen layout can sometimes be compromised as far as the dinette is concerned. If I had the truck I would take a serious look at this onehttp://www.coltonrv.com/SearchInventory/tabid/62/Type/View/ID/55007/2014-Fifth-Wheel-KEYSTONE-ALPINE-3620FL.aspx#sthash.OpAFU8w1.dpbs

I don't know about storage, but I CAN say this....I was in one last winter at the Quartzsite,AZ RV show and I have never felt so closed in as I did with the front living room......the ceilings are low in the LR area. It's okay for sleeping because you're laying down, but to sit or stand.....too low for me.
