information on 3 different fifth wheel toy haulers

please help us decide by voicing your experience or information on these models:
#1) 2007-10 Weekend Warrior FLT4005, this one comes up high on DW's list for the amount of kitchen cabinets, and mine for where the TV is located, normally it will be over the entry door.
#2) 2008 Skyline Freestyle "hole shot" 389, I listed this one as #2 for the reason being the TV is located as in a way one would have to crane their neck to the right to see the TV, and it has no where near as many kitchen cabinets as the Weekend Warrior.
#3) 2008 Cherokee 396WP, I listed this one as #3 because it has no (that's zero) kitchen cabinets, or am I just not seeing them in any of the pictures, but on the plus side they have 2 refers and the TV is set up in a way to see it without looking over your shoulder, if it were not for (complete) the lack of kitchen cabinets this one might of been listed at #1

you might see a pattern in these toy hauler's I listed, they are all side aisle bathroom, we wont comprise on this at all, they are all about 38 feet or longer, this is flexible from 38 feet upwards, we plan to full time in it, our tow rig is a 1990 Dodge diesel one ton, and the hitch is an 20K Air Safe hitch.

we are really looking forward to hearing from present and past owners of these models, or any other 38 foot side aisle bathroom toy haulers, let the debate's began, thank in advance L & K

  • I would choose the WW FTL too, but you will need to upgrade your truck. The FTL had an 18K weight sticker, at least the ones I looked at did, some even had 4 axles.
  • Forgot about a trailer our fiends have. It's the Road Warrior 35' model. It's really nice too. Lincster is right about the FLT and your truck. That trailer is huge. The RW would be a better size, and it has the side-isle bath. Might be worth a look.
  • To the OP. NO WAY do you have enough truck to tow the FTL. That trailer will weigh 15000lbs just sitting there. Full water, gear, toys etc and you are looking at 18000lbs.
  • No problem. Our second-favorites were in the Crossroads Cross-Terrain line-up. Very nice in our opinion. Don't think they make them anymore either. Another product of the economy drop in 2008.

    We looked at alot of brands and models over the course of a year before we purchased. Can't even remember them all. Lots of nice coaches!
  • thanks shawn, my DW will be glad to hear that it's her favorite too, did you look at any others that might of come in a close second ?
  • We vote fo the WW FTL! It's the one we wanted, but we didn't have the truck to pull it. Still our favorite of the reasonably priced models.
