Tomman, I think you’re right about the size of this unit…at least as far as what we’re looking for. I really like the layout of this 338RETS and it’s a beautiful camper. I also know you can never have too much space, but unlike WE3ZS we don’t travel with a heard of teenagers. Most of the time (unless it’s at the seasonal site) it’s just her and I or sometimes a couple of the grandkids. The other half and I have been discussing this unit (ever since she set me straight about it) and it’s almost more than we need.
The unit we looked at a year ago (and I confused with this one) was the Jay Flight 33RLDS. It doesn’t have the aesthetics of the 338RETS (or the huge bathtub, the big slide in the bedroom, the ward in the nose, the W/D hookup, or as much exterior storage), but the living room/kitchen has the same layout and options, it has a small slideout in the bedroom with a ward/linen storage unit, it’s a 1,000 to 1,500 lbs lighter depending on options, 5’ shorter, and has a sticker price of between $10 to $15K less depending on options and where it’s located. From what I can tell, the extra 5’ on the 338 is in the bedroom and maybe a little in the bathroom. The living room/kitchen looks identical minus the nicer finish. It’s obviously not the same TT, but it’s close enough it made me think it was (brain damage and old age accounted for).
There’s no doubt in my mind this 338RETS is worth the difference in price because of everything it has the 33RLDS doesn’t. But $10 to $15K is a lot of diesel fuel that’ll take us a lot of places. Besides that, compared to our old 2700bh StarCraft we’re going to upgrade, the 33RLDS would be like moving into a barn.
