5th wheel search help!

Hello, we currently have a tt & are planning to move to a 5th wheel in the near future. We found
http://forestriverinc.com/product-details.aspx?LineID=187&Image=5072&ModelID=1014#Main
and LOVE THE layout but have not been happy with our current forest river product. Does anyone know of another brand that is currently offering something like this with both the master & the bunk house up in the front of the unit?
We like that this still offers a larger living space along with the 2 bedroom model.

Thank you in advance for any help!
  • Can't say too much other than we're already looking for a replacement for our 8-mo. old FR FW. You might want to go over to www.forestriverforums.com. It is not a FR-owned site.
  • There is also this Jayco unit

  • For such a large trailer, that's got the smallest bedroom I've seen. There isn't room to hardly walk on either side of the bed.

    I like the Jayco much better.
  • Don't know how large or what you are planning for the 5vr-living in it, traveling in it, setting it up as permanent get away, etc. Also don't know what you will be pulling with. Years ago I settled on Arctic Fox 5'vr's made by Northwood, in Or. 3 major reasons--they are built as a 4 seasons camper-it is not and added package, Northwood builds the trailer as well as the camper, Arctic Fox comes standard with shock absorbers and I like the fact the are heavily built cause you don't get blown all over the road in a strong broadside wind. Also, they have an excellent Forum that answers about any question I ever came up with as well as the folks at Northwood Mfg. are very easy to talk to and get legitimate answers. Lars
