I went to multiple RV shows. Each time, I came back with similar impressions. If you inspect them visually, Redwoods are very nice. In fact, out of all 5th wheels I saw in the RV show, the two most impressive ones were the DRVs and Redwoods. Then I came back home and did some more research and realized Redwood frames are not in the same class as DRV's. But this might be ok for those who don't intend to travel tens of thousands of miles each year. Yes, the frames are the same as what is used in cheaper trailers such as Montanas, etc but does it matter to everyone?
I care about it because I do expect to travel a lot during our full-time RVing, so Redwoods were out of my shopping list. But not everyone has the same requirements, and for some people, I'm sure Redwood's extremely nice and thoughtful interior appointments and sufficient framing works out just fine, at a cheaper price when you take into account typical heavy dealer discounts.
