What 34-39' FW do you recommend for FULL TIME Living?

Hello All!
Do you full-time in your <40' 5th wheel? If so, I would love to hear if you DIG your rig (including what you use to tow)!! Not looking for BH or TH but all other recommendations appreciated. Currently, looking at the Grand Design Solitude, Keystone Montana High Country. Highland Ridge 3X349RLS and Heartland Landmark - used! If you have suggestions of other makes/model/year I should consider, let me know! I plan to hit the road in the spring, going coast-to-coast, some boondocking some RV Parks so rig needs to hold up well. All new for me and I can't afford to buy the "wrong" rig so counting on ya'll's insight and experience to help me make an informed decision-thank you! What are your thoughts on a FW with a raised patio-sound like a great feature...?

  • Don-what year is your Cedar Creek? Agree, all have issues but I had been staying clear of Forest River. Maybe older are better? I do like the Artic Fox-thanks for pointing out! Outdoor is just a bit small for full time (IMO)
  • Tow vehicle?
    I really liked our 36 foot Cedar Creek. But with the huge uptick in RV sales I dont think any new ones are that good.
    Have you looked at Outdoor RV or Arctic Fox from Northwood Mfg. Smaller mfgs that build on their own inhouse built frames. They have a reputation for being extremely stout. But even they have had some issues.
  • Can’t comment on the full timing. But the Montana High Country is a step down from the regular Montana, with fewer “features” and lighter weight.
