Opinions wanted - 5th wheels suggestions

[wittmeba]

Posting in 5th wheels as this is where we have the most interest. Been away from this forum and Rving for about a year or so.

We are looking at some part time travel and need a new 5th wheel or TT. We were impressed with Heartland and Cedar Creek quality and looked pretty seriously at a couple of floor plans.

Our assessment at the time for quality was Heartland, Forest River and Jayco for the price range we are interested. We are considering 28-30 foot rear living 5th wheel and might consider a TT with the right floor plan.

We like the Rear living, center kitchen and front bedroom so you don't have to climb over guests to make morning coffee. I've always felt most traffic during the day is to the kitchen & bathroom 🙂

While looking we are seeing new names like Rockwood, ElkRidge and other new names to us. Who is building good quality rigs these days?

Reputable dealers within 200 miles of the Roanoke Va? Experience with RV Outlet in Ringgold Va?

Some considerations:
Elk Ridge
Rockwood
Cougar
Wildcat
Coachman

Suggestions?

Sorry to say this, but my 2005 Cedar Creek has been great. Kept us warm last winter in temps down to 12 degrees. Quality and customer service have been outstanding from the get go.

X2!!!!

We own a CC' Daydreamer and have been thrilled! Aside from the OUTSTANDING quality and craftsmanship built into our fiver from the start (I'm a retired master/finish carpenter so I know quality workmanship) the biggest advantage of owning a Cedar Creek fiver is their after-the-sale customer service, when you have a problem they are there for you and that goes to their appliance and equipment vendors as well which has been the only issues we have had! Just to prove my point last summer I noticed that the clear coat on my full body paint was flaking off so I called CC to find out how to fix it and I was asked for some pictures, a couple of days later I was contacted by their paint shop asking when it would be convenient to have them re-finish my fiver at no cost,,let's see heartland or keystone do that for one of their seven year old products!

In the end when you consider that we lay out between $50-$100K on these fivers which by my opinion is a ####load of money it's only right that they should be made well!
