I really like the wet bay being in it’s own area with separate door. I wish they all did that.

@brianm1916 4 года назад

I love love love the layout of this unit. It was super smart of them rotate the stove 90 degrees to the half wall. When cooking I like having counter space on both sides of the stove top. They nailed it! The only thing that I don't like is that the slide flooring material looks like a tripping hazard.

@JA-tr9ze 4 года назад

I have a Open Range 323 RLS 2019 model. It only sticks up for a little while after the slides are extended. After they are extended they relax and are flush with the floor. You don't even notice them.

Excellent price point RV. Has just about everything a couple or small family could ask for. Kitchen is well designed with excellent appliances. Bath and bedrooms are great additions. Love that a washer dryer hookup was made available. Living room is great except for the TV mounted to high. Excellent review.

@susanamberg3960 4 года назад

The one thing I wish rv manufacturers would think if is the orientation of the shower seat. This one should be on the other side to make it easier to step in and out of. Overall this setup is really good.

@joanridgeway3674 4 года назад

Everybody i know that has a 5th wheel uses it for work. We in a rv park now in texas and most of the 1200 people on this job has one. We all agree we want less windows. Its hot here almost year around. Less windows, better a/c, and more storage. Nobody wants fireplaces, and huge windows especially around their heads.

@MsTeck883 4 года назад

I do not like that it's already rusting on the box channel and also the vent in the couch is an awful idea. In 2 years when the furniture starts peeling, then what and you have to replace the furniture. The crap clothes rod in the master closet is poor. I would want a lot of changes in this unit. But the smaller length is good. The living room is a nice size. I would like to see a longer counter, maybe the stove more over to the size so there is room enough to have a beverage bar. I also would not want the cable slides. The passthrough storage isn't tall enough to put bins in. I can stack 2 high in my Montana, even after I installed the slide-drawer.

That is a very nice couples coach. Great price! Love the kitchen. But I like my recliners. Wish it had two recliners. Thanks for making me RV envious!

This has dual recliners however they didn't include the center arm rest/cup holders to keep the slide shorter...

Mitchell Jordan my apologies for not making myself clearer. I mean independent, rocking, rotating recliners with a table between them. But still it is a beautiful rig

@sherylarnold2083 2 года назад

@TheMuirite 4 года назад

Nice RV but still to large for me, I would like to be 32' or less. I would say this one checks most of my boxes but I will NEVER EVER get a rig with a residential fridge after what my dad is dealing with. His fridge BROKE and they replaced the fridge BUT he had to pay for the slide to be removed bc it would not fit thru the door. I would much rather two RV compressor fridges made to look like french door units.

@bwolper 4 года назад

Packs a great punch for a compact.

@mattsmith3305 4 года назад

Great video and review, although you didn't show us the propane or front storage compartments. I agree this is a gorgeous compact fifth wheel. I like the floor plan, plus the 2nd entry into the bathroom. My only recommendation would be to lower the TV to eye level in the living room. This unit would be perfect for a 3/4 ton gas powered truck.

@TheRoadTaken 4 года назад

@bpaul1201awesome 4 года назад

Most frames are made by LCI and they do very little for rust prevention. Hell when you go on their website and look for replace parts have the pictures of the metal parts are rusting in the pic. They are making so many RVs at the moment that no one is really caring about this issue. The smaller manufacturers like Lance, Outdoors Rv, and Northwood Manufacturing are some of the few who make their own frames and give them a good rust preventative treatment.

@SpykersB 4 года назад

bpaul1201awesome my trailer was newly built Aug 2018, had some major issues, sat at the dealer over winter, 8 months later I go pick it up, it looks like a 10 year old trailer underneath from all the rust. It has nothing to do with them having to “making so many RV’s at the moment”. They never paid attention to it before Covid. Cheers 🍻

Residential fridge on a cable slide, i'll pass. Again thanks for the review though, you make them interesting enough to learn about units I am not even interested in :) More Alliance Paradigm reviews would be awesome !!!!

@paulhughes5979 5 месяцев назад

The 2" box section beneath the 8" I-beam is NOT there to raise the unit, it is there to take the stress of the I-beam, which will crack the frame and break the leaf spring hanger. You need to do more research on this.

@andrewfidel2220 4 года назад

Hmm, tough call between this and the Montana 294RL. I like the bigger shower in this rig but the front glass in the Montana is great. I do have to say that if you're going to do a washer/dryer it would be loads easier to get it into this one. My final thought is that while I think Open Range is above average for fit and finish, the Montana's I've been in have been overall a notch above.

@bobbydavenport5417 4 года назад

With the in closed underbelly and heated tanks

@highstrunglinemanlife1812 3 года назад

I’d buy this if the sofas had cup holders and massage mode. Also if it had a drop frame for more storage up front that would be helpful to but since there isn’t one I don’t think I’ll buy it

They became the shorter unit when mainstream larger fifth wheels hit the 40-45 class and 2018-2020 3/4 ton trucks being able to tow a monstrous amount compared to past trucks.

@johnleslie9493 4 года назад

JD, something that many of us want to know is maximum rooftop weight capacity. We are race fans and travel all around the country to attend auto races. We reserve trackside rv space and use the rooftop to watch the action. We’ve pretty much worn out our old class A gasser and want to replace it with a mid-size bunkhouse Fiver OR a toy hauler travel trailer. With 3 or 4 (or sometimes 5) 200+ lb guys, rooftop weight capacity is critical. How can we know how to choose a unit that will accommodate us?

Very much so. We just recently went from an entry level Forest River to an Open Range. We used to not be able to hear the TV without blaring it with standard AC in the FR. Now with the whisper quiet in the OR it’s just barely audible. Mainly the low thrum of the roof unit vibrating, not loud rushing air.
