Re: Bunkhouse 5th wheels...suggestions
We just got a Cougar 320QBS last fall. We only got one weekend trip in but it seems good so far. It has quad bunks in the back and the two on the drivers side are bigger. I would check the Cougar 32BHS. It looks like a good floorplan with 4 bunks and has the extra crapper/sink only in front for Ma and Pa. KZ has a similar floorplan but it only has three bunks. I would check out Jayco as well. What do you currently have for a truck? It would be nice not to have to trade.1.2KViews0likes0CommentsRe: Quality Coachman Chaparral 29BHS
We also looked at the 29BHS but ended up finding the same floorplan in the Cougar 320QBS but cheaper due to being a used unit so we went that way. I did like the Chapparal though, especially the lower profile. I like the way the floor opens up on both sides. You will have room in there to hold a square dance if you wanted!875Views0likes0CommentsRe: Comparing Half Ton 5th Wheels
We ended up finding a used 2014 320QBS Cougar that is the same floorplan as the 29BHS Chapparal. We only took a two night trip with it before we had to put it away for the winter. It seems like a good unit but I did like the lower profile of the Chapparal. We will give the Cougar a proper test in the spring!497Views0likes0CommentsRe: 5th wheeler bunk houses
We were looking a new Chapparal 29BHS as well and liked the unit. I saw a used Cougar 320QBS which is almost identical that we bought for $26,000 (2014). We went with the used one for price reasons but I liked that the Chapparal was a lower height for less wind resistance. I would not be afraid of the Chapparal at all. We only got a short two day trip in our Cougar before it was stored for the winter but we like it so far. I would take a good look at the KZ Sportsmen and Durango both. They have a two year warranty (as does Jayco) so that tells me that they have more faith in their product.468Views0likes0CommentsRe: New Coachman Chaparral lite using Azdel Composite Panels.
We are also looking at the similar 29BHS and was wondering the same thing. I will be hanging out watching for answers too! We are also looking at a Cougar 320QBS which is the same floor plan but on 16" wheels and more water capacity.264Views0likes0CommentsRe: Comparing Half Ton 5th Wheels
Hello Laknox. I did look at some of the Durango models. They have a nice looking bunk house with a half bath for the parents. I was only wanting one bathroom to conserve weight and to keep it simpler (more fittings equal more leak opportunities! They are a good looking unit. Like you, the 2 year warranty is a selling point. It seems they have some confidence in their product.496Views0likes0CommentsComparing Half Ton 5th Wheels
I have not been researching it long but we are looking for a good quality 1/2 ton 5th wheel (to be pulled by 2500) with a minimum 3 bunks (but prefer 4) We are looking at light because I want a physically smaller unit. Based on what we have looked at so far for floorplans, the following grab our fancy: Jayco 29 bhok Jayco 29 fbds Chaparral 29 bhs Sportsmen 301 bhk Volante vl310bh (I believe this may also be the Rezerve rfz-31bh How would you rank these units in order of quality of build? Thank you4.5KViews0likes10Comments
