Hello everyone. Hubby and I are new to this forum and to the RV lifestyle so you'll be seeing a lot of us ??
We are taking the plunge in October and moving into a 5th wheel permanently. We are currently in the process of purchasing a used model and I think we've narrowed it down to a couple units but the second guessing myself has kicked into overdrive so i need some direction.

The first unit is a 2011 Keystone Alpine 3450RL. Perfect floorplan, within our budget but i couldn't find a single review online.

The second is a 2011 Open Range Open Range 393RLS. It's a bit smaller but has been owed by an RV mechanic (we personally know)

Thanks in advance for your opinions. BTW we're also open to other makes and models.
Vancouver Island bound.

Look for an owner's forum for both those rv's. Actual owners will give you the best info

Agree, go with the floor plan but make sure you give it a complete inspection. Especially look for water encroachment, usually on the ceiling. Also, make sure you can walk around the bed, we have found that critical. I don't have access to the sight you referenced so that is about all I can comment on.

The best advise I can give is if they trailers are very similar in condition, always go with the floorplan you like. Conditions can change and be repaired but the floorplan will not.
