Just curious?
Everyone knows there are "entry level" RV's and then the scale goes upward to true luxury. I've been watching a lot of YouTube videos, specifically Big Truck-Big RV channel which show houses new models of RV's of all sorts. It's actually become one of my favorite channels on Youtube.
Well, I've stumbled in a group of videos show casing VanLeigh Beacon 5er's from Tiffin which comes in around the $135,000 price tag.
Then there is the Grand Design Momentum which comes in around the $110,000.
And how about Riverstone Legacy, high end, $100,000.
My Montana High Country listed at $77,000. It's a good camper (now) since I've done several self-improvements and fixes to it.
But, even at $77,000, as it came from the factory, (in my opinion) falls far short of what one expect for $77,000.
So those 5er's with a price tag over $100,000??? True!!... the "glitch" is really nice! They are absolutely beautiful gorgeous "campers". The electronics, the technology, the outside paint jobs, all the unique ways they've utilized space for storage, all those things that are appealing to the eye, are way over the top! Beautiful.
But in the real world, traveling with them, cross country trips, bouncing down the road, parking at campgrounds, interstate driving with bridges that have those horrid expansion joints and when you hit them you swear you've just flattened all the tires on your vehicles, rail road tracks that are rough as washboards, turning, twisting, uneven roads, backing up, skidding tires, normal wear and tear, real world use??? ... how do they hold up? Are they really worth the $100,000 and upward price tag? Are they really better built? Or is that $100,000 and upward price tag to cover all the "glitz" and modern technology in them?
If you have one of these over $100,000 5er's, how has it held up over the course of time? I have no plans to sell or trade my Montana. It's perfect for us (and completely paid for)! I'm keeping it for a long time! But still, when I see these videos, it makes my jaw drop and I think to myself, "Wow!"
Thoughts?
