Tiffen Fifth wheel Vilano

Tiffin

I saw that 5er a few months back in Trailer Life. Quite impressive. Good luck with it, she's a beauty for sure.

What model did you get? Do they use lippert frames or someone elses, I thought they quite using lippert.

They are on my short list of FW's, along with Arctic Fox(no dealers near me)Grand Design solitude.

Enjoy it, they look beautiful.

We love our 375FL. Yes they use lippert.

I'm assuming this is the Vanleigh Vilano? That's what I get when I do a Google search.

That Vilano does look quite impressive. How about that 375 with six slides?

I'll wait until I see a toy hauler in their line-up.

We looked at the rear living room model and really liked it. Seem very well built. I called the factory about modifying the washer/dryer location from the bedroom closer to the bathroom along with a couple other changes. They said no problem and no section so charge. Sent me drawings for approval. We did not purchase one as the wife walked into a Cardinal FL and she fell in love with that one. So now trying to decide what to do. Best of luck with your Vilano.

They might need to upgrade their platform for a toy hauler. The 375 has 1,500 lbs cargo capacity. That isn't much for a 40 ft. trailer that can load 500 pounds of water. Throw in a genset and you might have to leave your tooth brush home. I didn't see that 6 point leveling was standard or an option. Very pretty trailers though.

Saw the article in Trailer Life as well and the Vilano sure is a nice rig, but as mentioned above and in the article, CCC was woefully lacking for such a behemoth. On our TH we can carry well over 1K# of just fluids ( freshwater, onboard fuel station and generator tanks) when camping off the power grid for extended periods. Not sure if the Vilano has been modified since the article to increase carrying capacity, good to hear those that have them are enjoying their rigs. Here's hoping it delivers on all your expectations and then some.

CCC is a problem. If the frame is strong enough it could use 8K axles. I know disk brakes are a factory option, but not the axles. The Vilano seems nicely built with a great company behind it and I hope they do something about the CCC. In that case I might consider one because I would carry more than plastic diner ware and paper plate :-)

"Whether it's kayaks one weekend or a 16 foot sand rail next, Vanleigh has a floor plan layout for all of your adventures."

This line is on their product page on the website. I guess you put the sand rail on the roof?

I still like it and would strongly consider their toy hauler if they do it in the future.
