How much will a big fifth wheel limit us?
I don't currently have an RV but have borrowed my in-laws Class A before...so though I am not in the owners club I am not a total newbie either. My wife and I are around 40 and are self employed. ...
Forum Discussion
First off thanks to everyone for all the feedback, it is greatly appreciated and will all be highly regarded in our decision making process. Nothing like getting real feedback from those living the life.
Some of you made similar points so I may only reply or ask questions while quoting one to not be redundant but that doesn't mean each point isn't highly regarded and appreciated.
We thought so. We looked at a Torque on a dealers lot that we liked the floorplan of and it was okay, but then we went through a RoadWarrior that was a near identical floorplan (same manufacturer) and the fit and finish and build quality felt so much better. We thought we would be more comfortable FTing in that. So then I went to their website and stumbled on this one. Loved the floorplan but after seeing some walk throughs on YouTube we were really sold on the open concept.
Haven't seen one in person yet...haven't found one in my area. Might be doing some traveling at the end of the month and if so will look in the area I am traveling to to see if there is one in that area to look at.
I have been looking at F450 / 4500 type trucks in my area recently. They spec out to where they should be able to pull something like this full time but don't feel as large for regular daily driving as the big Kodiaks and SuperTrucks and other MDT's. Much more like a regular pick up truck which the wife likes. Go figure she loves a huge trailer but likes the smaller trucks.

Your Road Warrior has a very interesting floor plan. I honestly can say I've never seen one like this before. Very interesting!

First, your floor plan is dynamite! From what you've described for your needs you've selected an excellent choice!

You're gonna need a hefty truck to tow this. Even a 3500 / f350 dually will be near or over it's max. You may have to go bigger.
