From a Class A to a 5th wheel

Pros and cons about both. If you want friends to travel with you to events a Class A is the way to go. If you want your privacy and friends just visiting then going home, then a 5th wheel is the way to go.
Just Purchased a New 39 ft Open Range with the side patio and we really like the patio.
First outing we discovered the LCI system had not been calibrated :~( by the dealer or the Mfg. Neither want to own up to it. Long story short a rear jack was bent. Also because I do enjoy watching sports on TV I found that the retractable TV would not raise high enough out of the cabinet for the remote control to be useful. Hoping that Open Range will reimburse the cost of repairs. Other than a few minor issues time will tell. We think the 5th wheel is the way for us :~)

  • Our best friends have a Class "A". When we go camping together, which is quite often, we take our TV when going site seeing. We all usually eat meals in our rig. We usually watch movies in our rig. When we play cards, it's usually in our rig.
    I don't mind, otherwise I would have gotten a Class "A", too.
