Bay Hill by Evergreen

My wife and I own a 2013 Bay Hill 320RS, pretty much the first year Evergreen manufactured the Bay Hill. If you read the IRV forums you'll quickly see that most of the issues with the Bay Hill are quality control problems from the manufacturer as well as dubious pre-delivery servicing from the respective dealerships.

As for full-timing with the Bay Hill, you might be able to pull it off if the temperature range is not too extreme. Last week, for example, we were in Fort McDowell, Arizona where the daytime temperature was as high as 109 and the Bay Hill's single air conditioner could not keep the RV's interior temperature any lower than 90 degrees. With double air conditioners, I'm sure the situation would have been bearable.

Thirty-seven degrees has been the lowest cold weather external temperature we've encountered. Between the Bay Hill's regular heater and the fireplace, our RV stayed very comfortable.

For two non-claustrophbic people, the 320RS could make a decent full time RV, especially in cold weather. You just have to get beyond the early glitches that seem to plague Evergreen RVs.

find one on a lot that has a dry weight of 11K. they may show a book dry weight of that amount but you'll be hard pressed to find on built that is that light.

I looked at them too and they are LIGHT compared to other 5ers in the same size their 41 footer only weighs 11k and change my Montana 39 1/2 fter weighs 12,800 DRY ,Why is that??? are they cheaping out on the wood or what ,me and my wife like them but I am a little leary as to why they are so light

Evergreen also owns Lifestyle. Take a look at it. very solid, and built on in house frame. We have a Cemao, and LIfesthle is very similar. We've done some very cold camping.

If you can get over the fact that they start with a Lippert frame they are not a bad unit from what I saw at the factory on Monday.

Landmark is a good one.

Long read.

As far as I know, the Bay Hill isn't designed to be a "cold weather" 4 Season 5th wheel. The Bay Hill is built really well though!!

If you're interested in some great 4 Season 5th Wheels, you might want to start with Northwoods Manufacturing (Nash, Arctic Fox, etc)
