Hi everyone! Thanks so much for all your help and input!! It has helped us come to a better understanding of what we are wanting in a 5er. I wonder if you could help us with finding a floor plan with these components?1. Rear living with pop-up TV on driver's side window2. Kitchen island or peninsula 3. Large pantry4. Four-door fridge (if possible)5. Curbsite free-standing dinette6. Nighstand or ledges next to bed in BR7. All-in-one bath8. Washer-dryer connection (prefer to have room for stackable units)9. Large picture window in rear (no pillars)10. 38' absolute max...prefer closer to 35' length11. Mid-price rangeWe like a more modern look, if possible.Thanks for your help in advance!

Moved on from the rear kitchen? ;)How about this Excel Winslow 34IKE floorplan?

Yes! Moved on from the rear kitchen! We would much rather have the view!Thanks! I watched a video of it and it looks gorgeous!! Almost there! It lacks the pop-up TV that will allow for an additional window on that side. Also, would prefer not to have pillars on the back window to obstruct the view. I need to add the length restrictions, too, to my original post.

OK...If I remember correctly this is your very first RV of any kind is it not?We are on our 3rd coach and it still isn't perfect.Why make it difficult?For some reason most plans have the TV lifts in the rear cabinet.Do away with the need for a side television and the choices are virtually unlimited across all levels of quality and size.What is the reason for wanting the television on the side if I may ask?Ya know maybe perfect just doesn't exist when it comes RV's.

Check out this Open Range 345RLS It doesn't have the pop up TV but with the optional island comes pretty close to your wants.

These are criteria that CAN be met, as there is one that I have seen online, but was wondering about other options.We would like to get it as right as we can the first time...we do not want to have to go through a number of them to find "the one."

Floor plan with rear living, pop-up TV on a side window?

Cedar Creek 36CKTS

Thank you! That would have been perfect, except for the length! It is 39'. :(

We went through the same process as you... initially we wanted to stay under 32' but nothing met our requirements except the larger models.

Our CC 34RLSA is 36'8" and it seems huge to me and we do have to do our homework researching parks to accommodate the length... but it's worth the extra effort. I believe if you can accept a 36' model a 39' foot model is not that much more difficult to handle... they're both huge trailers.

I would have recommended our 34RLSA... but the newest models do not have the pop up TV and the extra side window like ours does.

Good luck.

p.s. I enjoy your posts and the enthusiasm you display researching your 1st 5th wheel. It's a lot of fun... right?

Thank you! That does meet all of our requirements! And thank you for your encouragement! It is fun AND lots of work! The learning curve has been quite steep and the number of things that we need to know has been mind-boggling! It is so much more technical than we ever imagined!!

Sorry I don't have a floorplan for you to look at. I'm not that swift with computers. Also, if you want this model, you'll have to buy used. It's been discontinued. The 3455SA has EVERYTHING on your list of desires, including length (37'4"). If you want to look at the floorplan, go to the Keystone web-site and navigate to the Montana and you can select earlier model years. If you're interested in used, that is.

Yes, I know. That is the one that I had seen online. I do not understand why they discontinued such a great floorplan.

And a discontinued model, our own 354TS

It doesn't show it in this floorplan, but ours and other 354TS have a shelf on the side opposite the nightstand.

Also, the 354TS is listed at 38'6", pushing your max just a bit. There are some new and used still available.

Finally, the cabinet next to the stove is huge. Nearly as much as a pantry.

I am not selling. Just for information.

Thank you! I actually like the discontinued one better! I will have to keep an eye out for that model!

Perhaps you meant 34 TSRE? I did not see a 36 TSRE in their lineup. Yes, that is very nice.

One thing you might add to your list if you plan on doing much inside cooking is an over stove vent that actually vents outside. Our previous TT didn't vent outside and it didn't take much to heat up the TT and set off the smoke detector.
