2021 DRV Full House LX455 Full Time Luxury Toy Hauler 5th Wheel at Southern RV of McDonough, GA

welcome back to southern rv tv i'm your host barry and i'm super excited to have you guys here with me today because we have a rarity behind me is the 2021 drv luxury suites full house lx 455 toy haulers this is one of the biggest toy haulers they make it's got a 12 foot garage all sorts of residential amenities and just some quick stats here it's a 24 000 pound gvwr so it is a beast of an rv also it has a hundred gallon freshwater storage tank it has a 75 gallon gray water tank and a 50 gallon black water tank it is a generator on board and a refuel station so this thing is fully self-contained so that you can be out and about for days on end without having to come back to civilization let's check this thing out [Music] all right so coming up through the main entry of the lx 455 we come into this combined space it's a living room and kitchen and it is massive for a toy hauler so pushing into the kitchen area the first thing i notice when i come through the door is this huge residential refrigerator this does have water on board so there's a water filtration slash water fill port inside which is pretty slick the kitchen itself is equipped with these very nice solid surface countertops a great tile backsplash that we see here and in the center island we have a large dual basin stainless steel sink this covered up by these solid surface counter covers so that's again going to give us loads and loads of prep space more so than your average toy hauler has there's also tons and tons of storage on board this including some hidden storage up and around the fridge we notice that we have these panels on either side those open up and reveal shelving throughout so that's just a small portion of the storage that we have on board notice we have cabinets up above all of our drawers here are soft clothes so when we open and close them they have a nice strong feel to them we get them close and they do the rest of their work on their own this pantry space that we see here is equipped with adjustable shelving so you can set this up to your liking add or remove shelves they've given us this great coffee station with a power port in the back so that you can roll it out and get to your mr coffee or your keurig in the morning with ease again tons of drawers down below even more pantry storage behind our entertainment center up above you'll see that this is an extension of the entertainment center in a sense as well given that we've got our jbl subwoofer a sony blu-ray player and some other extensions of that entertainment center available to get to and wire up other pieces of technology looking at the entertainment center we have this really large lg smart tv i like this it's a beautiful tv it has all sorts of wonderful features and options below it there's a jbl sound bar and even further below that we have a massive 47 inch electric fireplace this is loaded with goodies and options too it does put out heat electrically and it has tons of color pallets to choose from across from the entertainment center we have our sofa this sofa can seat four easily and every seat has a recliner so it doesn't matter if you're sitting in the middle or on the end you can recline in this sofa up above it we have more overhead cabinetry one thing i didn't mention earlier is that all of this is solid hardwood so not only is it beautiful but it's functional and it's built to last below that we notice that in our large atrium windows that we see here which by the way these are insulated windows we have mcd roller shades so we have both day shades and night blackout shades that's pretty slick all you have to do is give them a little tug and they roll right up that's very very nice pushing up towards the front of the coach by the entry going full circle in this room as soon as you come through the door we have this very big closet now this closet is set up to either host coats you can put a trash can in there as we see now or this is set up to accommodate a full-size stackable washer dryer i really love this because it makes it very easy to access get your clothes in and out and it's down on the main floor so maintenance is simple installation is simple and getting your clothes in and out is simple too right around the corner from that we have our main control panel this control panel has our zoned heating and air it's going to have our magnum system which is going to monitor our 12 volt is going to have our generator start stop as well as all of our slide systems our max fan control and some other lighting controls on board as well down below it we have all of our fuse panels and breaker boxes guys down below that one of the things that i didn't mention earlier is that we're standing on an incredible floor system so i've got a sample here this is pretty slick what we have is a three inch floor with screwed and glued aluminum construction with a 5 8 inch tongue and groove plywood topper on it it also has a wool insulation so between all of that it's quiet it's warm because of the r value and it's incredibly sturdy it's an amazing construction that we have here let's step up onto the higher platform and check out the bathroom and the bedroom [Music] thanks to the massive front cap on the drv we end up with this huge bedroom closet now this is cedar lined that's real cedar that's back there and as you guys saw i stepped out of it so there's plenty of room for hanging clothes stashing shoes maybe even putting in some totes across the bottom to stay organized in addition to all that they've given us some drawers over here as well just to put in some extra accessories to my left and across from the bed we have an lg entertainment system here with a jbl soundbar below and a cabinet with a sony blu-ray player with enough space left over to probably add a couple of more pieces of entertainment technology to your system the bed itself is a king size bed it has the overhead cabinetry up above dimmable switches for the lights all around it they've even added in some nice little storage spots in the terms of a small nightstand and down below that we have storage as well on both sides of the bed there are opposing slides in this bedroom the vanity is on a slide itself with this nice little chest of drawers this down below again those are soft clothes like we've seen in the kitchen under our bed we have even more storage it's strut assisted right now there's a couple of spare chairs hiding down there it's very easy to access and pushing from the bedroom out onto the ladder portion of the deck what we find is that we're in our pass-through bathroom this pass-through bathroom is massive it has lots of space and that's thanks to not having a haul on one side or the other of it this shower is a full fiberglass enclosure we have a seat down low which is nice for really relaxing at the end of the day or my wife would tell you it's nice to have a spot to sit down and shave your legs the sink and the medicine cabinet that are above it are generous in terms of their spacing the sink itself is not under mounted so it's a smooth finish all the way around which makes it very easy to clean has these beautiful residential faucets as well up above we have some excess storage in terms of our medicine cabinet and this door that i've got right here is going to lead into our bathroom notice that we have storage up high and we have a tecma thetford porschelin toilet now that's not your typical foot flush toilet that has a high and a low flush option so you can be water conservative or you can really flush it down guys let's go check out the garage [Music] coming out of the living room and into the garage we step into this very manly space we have these metal cabinets up top for storage very garage like another lg tv smart tv a pioneer sound system back here that's connected to it with speakers in the ceiling there's even a half bath back here guys with another one of those tecma thetford porcelain toilets with the low flush option there's cabinet storage up above and a small sink in there as well guys the floor of this garage has a very grippy diamond plate tread and 11 over engineered tie down points we've even got metal diamond tread running up the corners and across the base for pulling your toys in and out and not worrying about encountering those walls with a little bit of tire scuff this whole unit has zoned heating and air there are three air conditioners on board and we can have our garage zoned at a different temp than our living room and our bedroom now right now we have this garage set up very much in pull your toy in mode so what we want to do is go through a few different configurations in here show you that you can rearrange it a couple different ways and we'll take a look at some of those right now in this garage configuration all we've done is taken our sofas and gone from having them hanging flat against the wall to straight up above us at ceiling height now i'm six foot three and can walk under these with ease so there's plenty of space this way however if your toy was taller than this these sofas can be removed they just give us extra width in setting it up this way let's take a look at it in the bunk configuration [Music] so here in the bunk mode what we've done is lower out each of the beds as far as they'll go and by beds i also mean the two couches that form this big bed here by simply rolling the couch back forward to meet the other so what we end up with is essentially two queen beds so one down low and one up high the top one is more of a traditional rv mattress but it does make it easy to sleep for back here in the garage with plenty of space to get up and change in the morning and you still get to watch the tv from bed pretty slick [Music] in this configuration and what could quite possibly be the most common configuration after you've unloaded your toys we have opposing couches that sit here beneath our flat screen tv giving us a good spot to sit and watch television or we could bring in a table here at the end of the day and have a dining spot as well in between these two couches but most importantly this gives us an open clean walkway to access our back patio where the ramp would be let's check out that ramp and patio configuration [Music] heading out onto the patio we have these wonderful three season doors they have glass panels and screens the glass panels can drop down and allow a lot of breeze to flow through they're also very easy to open we can give it a little pull and they'll swing wide out onto this great back porch so basically what's happened is our ramp door has come down and we've attached our guy wires to it and let out this enclosure which allows us to have this great patio space on the back of the toy hauler it also has an awning up above let's check all that out [Music] setting up this back porch is really easy and now that we're here on the exterior rear of the camper i can show you guys this cool zero-g ramp door for more ride and how it works i've got some keys here they've got this really simple electric lock system that's right here i can pop my key in give it a twist there it goes it's unlocked and give it a good tug and as you can see the door comes down with relative ease it doesn't take much to put this up and down i can do it with just a couple of fingers just coming here as you can see that zero g door makes it very very easy now right now we have our guy wires connected to the door and that's going to cause it to be in that patio mode we can simply unpin these and allow the ramp door to drop to the ground for loading our toys in and out speaking of loading in your toys we also have some really awesome loading lights up top for getting your stuff in and out of the rv at night setting up the patio is easy however since we're back here and talking about this zero g ramp door one thing i wanted to point out is that it does have a mechanical override for the electric lock from inside the coach you can pull down on this strap and it's going to unlock that door and allow it to open up above it we have this really nice thule awning that's going to cover most of the back porch and provide some led lighting as well to set up our side rails all we have to do is un-velcro them and they're hinged so they slide out with ease and then they slide into these corner latches i'll open that for the back and then the other one works exactly the same way slide and lock into place and then swing this guy over and it completes our enclosure and locks everything off making it safe for dogs toddlers or the occasional stumbling adult let's check out some of the other exterior features of the rv [Music] here on the back side of the camper one of the first things we come to on this corner is our ladder to access the roof they've relocated it to the sidewall because of that ramp door that's back there but they made it pretty easy to use if we pull these little pins this allows us to pull the ladder out and down and making it easier to climb when you're traveling down the road it simply stashes up and against the wall and that flattens out the profile making it flush up against the camper the next hatch we come to this is going to host our power cord reel so that's what this is at the simple touch of a switch it can retract that 50 amp cord with ease it also provides a little bit of extra storage out here as well because this is a toy hauler we do have two on-board fuel tanks this does have a fuel dispensing station as well those two tanks are 30 gallons each one is dedicated to the generator the other is for refilling your toys when you're out and on the go this hatch if i pop it open we'll see our fuel dispensing and then here in the center between these two filling points we see that we have a gauge with a selector switch for each tank and an on off switch for the pump pretty slick now if you're boondocking for an extended period of time and you don't have toys with you you can always fill your generator tank off of your main tank over here that's pretty slick allowing you to stay out for extended periods of this is running on goodyear tires and we have disc brakes hiding back in there it's got a heavy duty suspension system and since we're right here this is a good spot to point out that we can see our 15 inch triple stack box tube frame that is way stiffer way heavier duty than the traditional 12 inch i-beams that you see on a lot of toy haulers on the market today pushing forward we're running against our kitchen slide here we do have an access panel to do work on the refrigerator if we need to up towards the front of the coach we come across our primary control center for hooking up all of our cable water as well as having our black and gray tank poles in there we're going to skip this hatch and come right back to it because first i want to show you this nice propane rack that they put in here simply flip the switch at the bottom and it slides right out giving us access to our propane in these already huge canisters this is going to access our pass-through storage as well as our lci leveling system the leveling system is hydraulic in six points and it's an auto leveling system so it happens at the single touch of a button let's take a look at that now [Music] that leveling system is pretty great now one of the things i wanted to show you guys with this pass-through storage is some of the access that we have if i slide this open notice that we have direct access to the whole house water manifold system this gives us 90 degree shut off valves for every water faucet or water outlet within the house so if you have a problem at one point you don't have to shut off water to everything you can turn off that one point here well before the problem pushing on up to the front cap we see that we have a more ride pin box this more ride pin box is going to be great for eliminating a whole lot of the chucking that you experience going up and down the road it has discussion plates and dampeners in both the x-axis and the y-axis that's going to prevent it from experiencing that push and pull feeling that you get sometimes going over bridges or uneven surfaces up under what we find is that we have on the far right here our first of two battery trays there's four batteries on board these have latches that pop up and allow them to slide out up top we have a battery cut off switch and our hydraulic pump station here i'll open that up we've got our cummins onan qg 5500 generator this is a gas generator it's nice and quiet it's going to provide plenty of power to the whole house and allow you to boondock for days it's fed off of that gas tank we saw in the back the second set of batteries is hidden behind this door again on a nice little tray that lets them slide right out and as we push to the front one of the things that i really want to hone in on is the fact that this has full body paint so these aren't decals they aren't vinyl that's going to peel fade crack over time this body paint is going to be looking great 5 6 10 years down the road if i open up this hatch it's going to give us access to the pass-through storage and another thing that i want to say about this we looked at the manifold on the other side if i slide this open notice how we have direct access to our water holding tanks and we have our furnace sandwiched right between them another cool thing about this furnace is they're using residentially sized lines coming off of it so you're pumping a lot of heat out to the house but that's going to provide some ambient temperature that's going to keep things from freezing up in the winter not only that but having that access makes assessing problems with your tank super quick and easy because they're not hidden up in the underbelly so a mechanic can get to it with ease all of these baggage doors are nice and thick and insulated as well pushing up we hit our entryway there's an amber light that's up underneath the stairs illuminating that of the evening and up high we have some great lights for lighting up the entryway at night that's on both doors also both doors have keyless entry too one thing i'd like to point out since we're right here is our wall thickness these are three and a quarter inch sidewalls it's tough to find anything thicker in the industry so i recommend when you're out shopping for rv is to wrap your hands around that frame and feel the difference between drv and all the other brands that are out there i think we mentioned inside that our windows are frameless and insulated again coming to the second entry door you see we have keyless entry and the lights we mentioned before outside here we have sony marine grade speakers it's pretty cool and just for giggles we have a little bit of extra storage on this side as well because they were able to fit it in also it's nice to note that all of our latches are slam latches the last thing i want to point out is the fact that we have three huge awnings on this unit and the two that are on the side wall are going to have a guard on them for when they're fully closed up we'll get a closer look at that and show you all the awnings in the out position right as we come up to the end of this video [Music] [Music] folks
