Re: Think we have found it....Grand design Solitude 365 DEN
Here are several bunkhouse models I've found with 1&1/2 baths and an outdoor kitchen: http://www.lifestylelrv.com/page/249/385BH http://www.westernrvcountry.com/inventory/408083/New-2015-Dutchmen-RV-Infinity-3710BH.aspx http://www.westernrvcountry.com/inventory/445675/New-2015-Jayco-Eagle-Premier-375BHFS.aspx http://www.haylettautoandrv.com/rv/coldwater+mi/crossroads+fifthwheel/5618/crossroads+redwood+cypress+38bhr http://www.rvtrader.com/dealers/Athens-RV-Sales-728570/listing/2015-Kz-Rv-Durango-D358BHK-112821951 http://www.rvtrader.com/dealers/RV-Supercenter-2819952/listing/2016-Forest-River-Blue-Ridge-F3715BH-115390584 http://www.rvtrader.com/dealers/RV-Land-2989766/listing/2016-Heartland-ElkRidge-38RSRT-114631560 http://www.rvtrader.com/dealers/Haylett-Auto-%26-RV-Supercenter-2940398/listing/2016-Jayco-North-Pointe-375BHFS-115102998 http://www.rvtrader.com/dealers/American-Family-RV-2972100/listing/2015-Keystone-MONTANA-HIGH-COUNTRY-356BH-113952614 http://www.lifestylelrv.com/page/249/385BH http://www.highlandridgerv.com/products/2016/open-range-3x/fifth-wheels/3X427BHS I am looking for one without the outdoor kitchen, and here's what I've found: Keystone Avalanche 360RB https://bend.craigslist.org/rvs/5398986884.html http://www.rvtrader.com/dealers/Camper-Kingdom-2941350/listing/2013-Open-Range-OPEN-RANGE-427BHS-117106565 http://www.usedrvsforsale.us/detail/Used-2015-DYNAMAX-TRILOGY-37BH/IBHzUhWWBUIHhhCrIhW.html I'd appreciate any other links to bunkhouses without the outdoor kitchen.

Hi all - Thanks very much for all the information. In particular, Mastercrafta - thanks for the Cypress 38BHR - It certainly looks like the floorplan we want, and will see if I can find one without the outdoor kitchen. I fully realize that with the $25,000 budget we're not going to get exactly what we want, nor is it going to be the best quality (perhaps that item may need to be demoted to "nice to have"). I am looking at options that would enable us to squeeze another $5000 into our budget, but $30,000 would be our absolute top figure. I am not expecting to get a new model for that price, so am looking mostly at 2012-2014 models. To add some context, we purchased a 2004 Forest River Wildcat for $8600, and spent another $5000 in 4 months repairing it. The real pain that we are hoping to avoid is repair delays happening about one day or more out of every two weeks. At the very least I am hoping that a 2012 or newer model may have less repairs than our old 2004 Wildcat. I did find a 2013 Avalanche 360RB for $30,000, but wasn't really ready to pull the trigger because I wanted to see if there was anything out there that was close to it for that price. It was sold the day after I let them know I was not able to move forward, so I know I need to be 100% ready when a deal like that comes along. Thanks again for your comments, everyone - I really appreciate the feedback. Family Guy402Views0likes0CommentsBunkhouse Fifth Wheel recommendations
Hi all - My family and I traveled for 4 months in a basic, older fifth wheel, and decided we want to do a year or more in a newer model across the US and through western Canada and Alaska in the summer. Based on the criteria below, I have only found one model: 2013 or later Keystone Avalanche 360RB (apparently no longer manufactured) The Avalanche 390RB is the closest current model http://www.keystonerv.com/avalanche/ Here are our criteria: MUST HAVES 1. Bunkhouse with: A. two slides B. lots of inerior storage C. Either a built in desk to accommodate 4 or room to put a table and 4 chairs D. half bath E. two bunks 2. At least 5 slides (Bunkhouse: 2 Kitchen/Living: 2 Bedroom: 1 but would prefer 2) 3. Dining table that seats 4 4. Price around $25,000 NICE TO HAVE: 1. Double refrigerator 2. Automatic Levelling system MUST NOT HAVE 1. Definitely NO exterior kitchen 2. Poor quality I have looked at dozens of floorplans and prices, and so far I the Avalanche is the only one that has everything we want. However, the reviews I've read have been mixed. The other model that I would love to have, but is simply out of our budget is: Grand Design 365DEN http://www.granddesignrv.com/solitude365-floor.php With that model, we would have to take out the couches in the rear and add our own bunks and table/chairs, but that's not a big deal for us. The main thing I like about the Grand Designs is the amount of positive user stories regarding how they stand behind their product. I have looked at and rejected many other models based on floorplan alone, and may update this post later with all of those that I have reviewed but decided against. I would certainly like to have at least 2-3 models to choose from, so if anyone has any other models they would recommend, I would certainly appreciate any suggestions. Thanks in advance, Family Guy2.4KViews0likes11Comments
