For my peace of mind I would want more that a one ton truck. 32k pounds is a lot of weight to pull around. This is amazing, only 25 feet shorter than our single wide. Wonderfully arranged and thought out.
Thanks! I’m glad you liked it. We’re looking into what it would take to upgrade to a larger tow vehicle, but honestly the 3500 does a good job as is… it just doesn’t give us all of our capacity.
Saw this video just today - but if I heard correctly, you're pulling this with a GM 3500???? I would seriously suggest you run that rig by an officer to see if you're legal.. My bet is - you're not; that you're over the GVWR by a bunch. You don't need a hefty fine my friend.. Make sure you're legal - it could save you a ton in liability claims if you have any incident with another vehicle... Must my .02..
That’s incredible, beautiful and amazing. I can’t wait to see the systems like the solar, etc. I’d definitely get at least a MDT if not a HDT though. They’re actually less expensive than an F450. That thing is massive!!! And spectacular!!
@@aliveandwell2078 that’s due the the wider front axle. A medium duty truck would also have a wider front axle. The commercial/fleet grade F450 is also different from the consumer grade F450 in a few ways. If this were my rig Id probably pull this with a single axle highway tractor.
I have a 44 1/2 foot 21,000 pound fifth wheel and it’s a beast to haul down the road I can’t imagine hauling that one down the road at 31,000 pounds and then to try to park that monster like in an RV park
I think the whole rig (truck and trailer) is 31k lbs. My guess from looking at the 3 axles they are each 7k. Even if they were 10k each he would still be over weight.
I absolutely love this RV. Did you have this custom built as far as the rooms including your office? Or did it come that way and you just picked the material and the colors and stuff? Like if I wanted to go buy one of these with this layout, could I buy one? What is the model of this one? I love this wow. 😎
New Horizons is custom order only. They have some "base" starting layouts but every one buying one sits down with a designer and figures out the specific details for the one they want.
@@jamessimpson422 That would totally defeat the purpose of buying it in the first place. 🙄 If they wanted a house and land package, that’s what they’d have (and probably did before they purchased this)
Can you tell us what the exact length and width is. Also,, what size are the holding tanks are - black, gray, water. Lastly,, can you utilize all 3 AC with your solar system
I have seen many of my customers enjoy the superb features of the New Horizons Majestic units over the past 12 years. I have spent many days at the NH factory creating my own RU-vid highlight videos. The work Ben has put into this coach is outstanding. Hats off to you Ben!
So technically 50A service that we see at the pedestal is rated at 240V. RV’s generally split this into two 50A circuits at 120V, meaning that we actually have 100 amps (12,000 watts) available. That’s half the service on our sticks and bricks house. It works out well. I also built the Victron power system to be able to run all 12,000 watts from the batteries if necessary; so I can use PowerAssist if I’m at a 30A circuit and supplement with solar input.
And how long would you be when you add your towing vehicle. You can only go where you fit. Hope it’s a diesel because having to Maneuver that bad boy around gas pumps. Also you better be able to back that thing up
Certainly a lot of thought has gone into this rigs layout! The energy system is really amazing! We started our RV experience in 1986. Ended up after 6 motor homes with 45 ft Teton 5th wheel. I had that built to my specifications but not nearly as technically equipped as this 50ft monster. We had 4 massive slides which made it more like a home than an RV. Sadly, Teton closed a few years after ours was built but was a fantastic coach. We retired from RV's but still get the itch.
This is absolutely stunning! I so wish I could afford something like this for my son and I. I'm tired of living in fear wondering if I'm gonna have a roof over our heads. Living on disability is very difficult. I am so jealous!😀 But again what an amazing rig!! Safe travels!❤️
Never doubt yourself or the power of a parent. You are awesome and you can make anything work. I am sure he didn't just get this big rig the first time out. You can do it too tho. Start small with a new late model rv and a used vehicle to tow it with or hire an rv mover. And the money you would spend on rent or a mortgage spend it on an rv. They are considered legal homes and qualify for similar loans and insurance. Live your dream and let your son see the winner in you🧡
@@shannonstewart4792 I agree Great Advice - I too am think of owning one one Day ( Living in one ) on my Acres - No taxes !!! Cause it’s an RV Not A Mobile Home . Think about that . 👍🏻
Amazing. Given that it's 3' shorter than a standard semi trailer, I'm seriously curious here: 1-What does it weight unloaded? 2-What is the GVWR? I saw comments about it being towed with a 1 ton dually--no judgements here. The new 1 tons are equivalent to the MDTs from a decade ago...
You have a beautiful home the wife and I are going full-time as soon as we sell everything and I’ve been looking at new horizon so yes I would like to see more of your videos and we probably wouldn’t get a 50 footer but a good 40 foot thank you very much for the video and you have a great day thanks
Beautiful rig! Look forward to seeing the exterior in more detail. One thing I noticed was there are no heater vents in the floor which is really nice. If I went full time I’d want as big of a rig I could get. Yes, you might be limited to where you can stay, and it would be more difficult to pull this thing, but well worth it for the space. I could live in this very comfortably.
I had a 43 ft and was no fun trying to fit in most spots that weren't pull thrus. Most old parks just weren't designed to back a trailer this long into. If you're not good at jacknifing a trailer forget something like this. You tell whoever takes reservations how long your rig is and they have no idea what it takes to back something this long even though it fits.
Beautiful rig. A couple of questions. 1. Did you ever consider Spacecraft and what made you go with NH? 2. How have you found driving maneuverability and getting into parks/campgrounds? Thanks for tour.
Thanks! I’m glad you liked it. We looked at Spacecraft for a bit, but didn’t like the way they generally looked from what we could see. New Horizons just felt like a better fit for us. Sorry, it wasn’t terribly scientific. 😕
Driving maneuverability hasn’t been bad at all. It does have quite the tail swing (about 18 feet), so I’m definitely cognizant of that when driving and my wife is always acting as a spotter from her follow vehicle.
My girls are 9 and 12 and I love this.... I'm curious how this will change for him as the boys get older. As someone who NEEDS an office, this is great. All in all, this is amazingly BAD ASS. I can't imagine the cost, but it's amazing, and all in all worth it.
Thanks! I’m glad you liked it. We did make sure to size the bunks so that they’d accommodate the boys as they grow up. So hopefully that’ll end up being their “retreat” as they get older. I’m sure we’ll adapt to needs as they present themselves.
Beautiful but going from a 24ft travel trailer we weighed the option of a pinnacle , north point, grand designs and I decided why spend 120k on a truck and another 100 to 140k on a 5th wheel when I can buy a 40ft class A and it be more convenient 🤷♂️
Thanks! I’m glad you liked it. For this chapter, a Class A wouldn’t have worked for us… but perhaps later down the road once the kids are “out of the house”.
@@triphius No. That was my thoughts for our needs. A class A is convenient for me. For someone else the 24ft travel trailer would've been convenient for them lol it fits your needs. Thats what matters
HDT necessary. The Freightliner Cascadia or Volvo of you liking with Eaton automated trans would work well for this application. They’re getting decent gas mileage. I like the tilt out windows, even on the slide. I have them on my 38’ Jayco and they work great for cross air flow, even when raining.
A late-model Chevy Silverado 3500 DRW. Everything is within the specifications of the components on the truck and the rig sits level on the truck. Now, we’re at the upper end of those specifications; so the plan is to get a larger tow vehicle.
Thanks! I’m glad you liked it. We use Command Velcro style strips for the smaller pictures and the more aggressive 3M dual lock (I think that’s the name) on the bigger ones.
Thanks! I’m glad you liked it. This is the joy of being able to exactly what you want (within reason, obviously) - we had not found anything else that we would have been happy full-timing in, so we decided to go custom.
I'll let Ben decide if he wants to share how much this particular RV cost. It's my understanding that New Horizon builds start around 200k for the"normal" size ones (around 40') and just go up from there. They're definitely premium.
I’m not particularly keen on sharing the exact prices of our stuff publicly on the Internet. But yes, Brian and/or Erin is right, it is premium. You could check out their website and run through their build and price tool to get an idea.
Love baby jail! I have a special needs kid I need to corral at night so she cannot get into things she shouldn’t. It’s like having a perpetual 2.5 yr old. I would love to do full time RV life in a couple of years. Ready to retire and go see the country. We would have to earn money on the road, and find a way for my sewing/embroidery machines to accompany me. With only one child-probably wouldn’t need anything so long 🤷🏼♀️
Beautiful RV I love the breakfast nook and the touch water faucet for me I would skip the dishwasher I would rather have more storage but beautiful RV and love the desk area. What do you use for Internet?
I like everything about it except the cabinet color scheme I’m not a big fan of white which is what it look like on my monitor maybe it’s not that’s what it look like on my monitor
Thank you for the tour I actually have been wondering since Spacecraft was out of my price range what price was yours and if it was basically around the same price as spacecraft
@@triphius speaking of that, there was mention of a second video getting more in depth on the tech side. Has that video been made yet? I see nothing on your page for videos and nothing on the maker of this vid...
The “cage” for the baby is so very disturbing. It looks like a dog crate. Why not put the older child on top that would only need a rail and put the younger on bottom with a rail as well. I was very disturbed by this.
Maybe it was an optical illusion but the hallway just off the doorway seemed very narrow. Seemed kind of cluttered but that might just be because of his family living style.
We've seen you out at Pleasant. We were all curious what the inside looked like. Very nice RV! I'm curious, what do you use to put your framed pictures on the wall?
Hmmm so how much cost are we talking about here on the price of this New horizon majestic trailer there's only 2 things I would change about it & that's where the kids room & the home office is & make that area a garage for a golf cart
That video went up last week! ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-lgIn-dJFe7k.html Tune in this evening for his internet setup and next week for his electrical gear 👍👍
Thanks! I’m glad you liked it! From when we first reached out to when we did our orientation, it was about 11 months. Build time was closer to 7 months.
Is there ANYONE out there who knows of any manufacturer of RV's, motorhomes, 5th Wheels, coaches, toy-haulers, trailers of any size, of any style, of any capacity cater to those who find themselves in the market for making a purchase of one of the above travel trailers that MOSTLY CATER TO THE CUSTOMER WHO TRAVELS WITH THEIR FURRY COMPANIONS AND WHO WON'T SETTLE FOR NOTHING SHORT OF THE ABSOLUTE BEST IN LUXURY ALL FOR THEIR BELOVED FURRY BABIES?
I mean I am one of those who would purchase from a manufacturer who designs and who builds these so-called, "RV's",.that takes people's pets, service animals, therapy animals, furry friends, fur babies, beloved pets, 4-legged companions along with them on their adventures. I have yet to come across anyone who puts thought to action must consider my money- making BRIGHT IDEA; to really keep in mind during the design what could be a pets dream RV to travel in, taking into all angles of comfort, ease of use, roominess, safe, comfort, durability, fun, intriguing, challenging, rewarding, geared towards people's pets, AND of course their owners ultimate comfort so that the bar is set high above anyone else and show those who bring their furry friends with them wherever they go now they can purchase their dream home on wheels from a manufacturer that puts people's pets FIRST! please show me some company already making these dreams come true! I WOULD LOVE LOVE LOVE TO SEE THEM!!! THANK YOU!! hopefully this inspires others.
