Must Have, Don't Need

[jadee911]

We are looking to buy a fifth wheel and want to know what owners opinions are.

1. What do you love that you have in your trailer that you couldn't live without?
2. What do you wish that you had in your trailer?
3. What could you go without?
4. Have you found issues with the w/d and the d/w?
5. Do you really use the outdoor kitchen and fireplace a lot?

We love our island in the kitchen,being able to stand up straight in bedroom . Having room on sides of mattress so making the bed is easy. Ten gallon water heater is very nice for showers. TV across from recliners.
Middle door is great . I agree totally with reader1. We had a rear door there is a large list of issues with that. . We don't need Chinese tires. We love our Bridgestone R-250'S . 2014 Augusta Flex AF34RS

1. I love the countertop space, the roomy shower, the accessibility when slides are in and the retractable TV.
2. I wish we had an outdoor kitchen, but a dorm fridge is sufficient.
3. We could go without the w/d hookup, but we'll probably need it someday.
4. I'd love to have a d/w to be able to answer this!
5. The fireplace is used much more than we ever thought.

1 - Outside portable grill, slide toppers, opposing slides in the living room.
2 - Laundry chute (had one in our Cedar Creek, miss it in our Jayco). Also a small coat closet.
3 - Lots of things we could do without, but nothing we'd choose to to do without.
4 - No issues with the W/D (Splendide, vented), and it does come in handy at times.
5 - Don't have an outside kitchen and don't want one. Use the fireplace a lot to take the chill out of the living room on cool mornings. Like that a lot.

We just bought a 2015 38RSSA Mobile Suites

1. 6 point level up system, power elec cord reel and those GREAT disc brakes!
2. Slide toppers, probably will get those sooner rather than later
3. d/w
4. Nope, don't have w/d; haven't used the d/w yet either
5. Never had an outdoor kitchen, wouldn't be without the fireplace

We've owned three fifth wheels this one is by far the nicest and the most $$$ but we think we have everything we could want now.

I'm on my 3rd 5th wheel. It took me having two before I knew what I needed and didn't need. When I went shopping for the one I'm in now, I was really only looking for a king size bed and a large shower.
Things now that I wouldn't be without are:
1 King size bed
2 Large shower
3 Six point auto level-up system
4 Theater seating across from the big screen TV
5 Residental size side by side refrigerator
6 Fireplace
I could go on and on about the likes. Only not needs would be a dishwasher. I like having a washer/dryer combo though.

Must have;
Center island with sink, king bed, all-in-one bathroom, large television, comfortable swivel recliners, automatic awning, electric rear jacks
Don't want but have ; washer dryer - no need we aren't fulltimers but it was there
Surprised that I really enjoy: fireplace
Would never order: outside kitchen

[B_O__Plenty]

Must have a fireplace
Must have plain white gel coat or paint.
Must have quality tires no STs
Never again will have colored gel coat. Fades and turns white.

1. We have a complete bathroom, not a sink or shower outside the bathroom and would never want to give that up.
2. Wish we did not have a back door, but a mid door.
3. We have a smaller 5th wheel so there is not much we would want to do without. We do not use the TV or radio/CD player much.
4. Do not have or want w/d or d/w
5. We do not have a fireplace, don't want one, or a full kitchen. We have 3 burners and a sink outside and that is enough. When we are at the ocean or shore - DH cooks his seafood stuff outside.
Best wishes on your search.

1. Love the 2 slides opposite each other giving wide open space
2. Wish I had more storage room
3. Can't think of anything
4. Would not have d/w or w/d
5. Love the outside kitchen, use it all the time. Would not have a fireplace, wasted space.

1. 6pt leveling (man, have I got lazy).
2. A second awning on side of the slide out. And theater seating in place of the recliners.
3. Outside speakers (it's much easier to use a boombox, when you cannot control volume to the outside speakers from outside the rig).
4. Have neither.
5. No kitchen. The fireplace gets used every time it gets chilly. Almost never use the furnace.

Our loves:
-Recliners across from TV
-fireplace (it really does heat when needed)
-residential refrigerator

Our wishes:
-King size bed
-end tables in bedroom
-6 point leveling system

I can't think of anything in our rig that I would want to do without. I really like it's setup/floor plan.

We don't have a W/D or D/W. We have W/D hookup but never felt the need to purchase since we mainly weekend with a couple weeks a year vacation.

Don't have outdoor kitchen either but honestly, I don't think we would use it much.

[Lantley]

Must Have:
Automatic leveling,dual A/C,fireplace,TV across from seating, large shower,large fridge, lots of counter space,50 amp service, Corian countertop,W/D hookups,built in genset,dual pane windows?
Don't want: outdoor kitchen

[Nutinelse2do]

Couldn't live without.... King bed, tv across from lazy boys, lots of kitchen counter space, window awnings, keyless entry, mor ryde suspension.
Would love to have 6 point leveling, disc brakes, window in toilet area.
Hate the electric awning.
Do not have, nor want d/w. Must have w/d.
No outdoor kitchen wanted. Never had f/ p so do not know
