Forest River pecking order
In the fifth wheel class only...... What is the higher model... The Cardinal ... Or the Ceder Creek?? Or is that a loaded question?? Or is that a question that is based on preference??

Thor is screwing with KZ changing names etc. My dealer was told if he wanted the Durango Gold there was now minimum stocking requirements. And Jayco is changing things at Open Range as well. Personally if Thor does not change the factory operation I would easily stay with KZ over any Forest River. Friends have had nightmare experiences trying to get warranty work on their FR products.
My issue is that DW and I both fell in love with the Solitude 3875RE layout... We have only seen it in 1 or 2 other models... Big Country started making one for 2016.. And I spoke to the Jayco rep who told me they were making that for their NEW lineup and it should hit this summer...
We want to see the layout in person before deciding ,I cannot decide over some fancy pictures...Like I stated before.. The Solitude is out -no rear cap...no carpeting in main living area , and the bathroom sink felt like it was plastic.. I was in a few big Country products last week and was not WOW'd either..
The good thing is that we are NOT in any rush , and are more than happy waiting to be hit with the WOW factor . .
BTW - The Gold was nice , but not what we want.. the FL model you have to open the street side door to gain access to the bathroom while traveling.. OR bypass the hydraulics and open one of the curb side slides...
We saw a 2014 Redwood left over FL.. that did WOW us... BUT with 2 kids that still travel . its not practical.. the 2 sofa's up front are NOT beds... the kitchen table would be hard to have 3 sit at it let alone 4.. The only reason we still looked at it was because the cost...$65,000.00 and it was loaded..
