BIG FAMILY? Check out this AMAZING 5th Wheel Floorplan!

so before we get started I want to give a huge shout out to the folks at Dell air RV center here in Corpus Christi Texas they do a great job of letting me walk around there a lot film some of these beautiful RVs and hopefully you like what we got today so today we are going to be looking at a very unique floorplan by a fifth-wheel manufacturer called Highland Ridge they make the open range line of travel trailers and 5th wheels the specific one we're looking at today is the most unique 5th wheel floor plan I have seen in a long time the uniqueness of this is because how they laid the bunkhouse in it so this unit that you're looking at in front of me has a very very interesting floorplan it is kind of that mixture of a front living room but instead of a living room it's a bunkhouse and I really haven't seen any other fifth wheel on the market that has this same type of layout and because of that it is definitely something you might want to consider especially if you're gonna be out on the road for longer periods of time with a larger family or groups of friends and family that might be with you so this is a 376 fbh which stands for front bunkhouse now something that's really unique about this fifth wheel especially in the price point that it's at is it's one of the few that's going to give you a false flat profile roof which means you don't have that dip at that halfway point you see in a lot of fifth wheels including my own that full profile roof is a much bolder look it gives you much higher ceiling heights inside and it gives you the ability to have taller slide Heights as well as more utility in some areas that you might otherwise not have it so this has a really really great interior floorplan plus a tremendous amount of storage which I'll talk to you about in a little bit so in the front storage compartment what you'll notice is it doesn't have a drop frame it doesn't drop down and it seems as if the front storage is kind of shallow like it doesn't have that much height to it now that's true it is only about a foot and a half tall so you don't have a ton of room up front in the basement like you might expect but that's not the hidden gem of this particular fifth wheel this particular unit is going to blow you away with a secret storage area and I can't wait to show you that part of it now another nice feature of this coach is how and where it stores the propane tanks on some units you're going to have one propane tank on each side and some you might have two propane tanks on one side this particular unit has 20-pound propane tanks but it has three of them two of them that are positioned on this side on a slide-out tray and one that's positioned on the opposite side it's really nice because if you're going to be servicing your propane tanks having 20-pound tanks really really comes in handy because it gives you the ability to remove the tank and swap it out at any place that really sells propane tanks whether it's Lowe's or Home Depot or even gas stations traditionally if you're running 30 pound tanks like I have I have to take it to a place that specializes in filling up propane tanks so they can fill up my specific tank so it's a really really great feature to have 20 pound tanks and it's really nice that this unit has three of them now one feature that's becoming more and more popular on your larger 5th wheels is a cable driven slide system and it really takes understanding how the system works to properly adjust it and align everything the way it needs to go it's still kind of complex and you're really gonna have to take you to your dealership to have them do the bulk of the adjustment with it now this coach does come with the ground control level up system or auto leveling system it uses six jacks the two up front have JT strong arms on them which really helps stabilize but they also give you a set of JT strong arms on the two furthest back jacks as well so it is a very stable fifth wheel when properly set up essentially clamp rods in place that make the entire stance of your RV you completely rigid so moving along to the front storage area one thing that's really nice about this area is that it gives you two compartments for batteries that are recessed into the floor and here are the backs of your propane tanks from inside the front storage area so something that's a little interesting to me is that this unit has a standard pin box it's an 18,000 pound gross vehicle weight rated pin box I would have expected something like perhaps the more I'd rubber pin box or just some type of upgraded aftermarket pin box this isn't a bad setup I was just expecting something a little higher end now as we move along to the driver's side of the main storage basement area this coach does come with a large residential refrigerator and because it's a residential refrigerator you need a large inverter to run it so here's your inverter it also has your auto level control system right here and one thing you'll notice in the back is a power down switch or a power off switch it's essentially the ability to kill all the power going to the coach itself from the batteries and it just helps prevent parasitic drains from your batteries while it's in storage so taking a look at the i-beam frame under this unit it is a 10-inch eye beam frame again that's another area where I thought they probably would have used a 12 inch eye beam frame but a 10 inch frame as long as the rest of the structure is built well is more than enough for this size of fifth wheel and again this unit does have for JT strong arms it has two up front and two in the rear and this is the rear section it does have Westlake tires they are Irae 'td tires I would probably recommend that you upgrade to an Allsteel tire within the first 5,000 miles of owning this coach here's a close-up shot of that box section that's attached below the main frame rail that all the suspension is attached to now here's a shot of your wet Bay so typically on a fifth wheel the wet Bay is going to be up in the front near your main storage area or your main basement what's really nice about this wet Bay is that it is near the middle back section of your fifth wheel so you have much easier access to getting all your connections to the pedestal and you don't have to run exceptionally long connections now I promised you this thing had some marvelous storage and when you take a look at these storage bays it's gonna blow your mind this has probably the best storage I have seen on any fifth wheel that's not a toy hauler besides that grand design that I showed you guys a while back that had a very similar layout to the back so all of this storage is underneath the master the master bedroom is in the back of this coach and you get this huge area I'm talking massive storage area underneath this coach to truly store and bring whatever you need this unit is a hundred and one inches wide so it is a wide-body floorplan and it gives you so much room it's hard to even describe the back area is designed to hold motorcycle bicycles a quad it can hold a lot of different things that I mean of course you're gonna have to make sure the one you're looking at fits but you just have a huge space back here for storage now as we work our way around back this entire coach uses LED lighting including all of your reverse lights and up top it also gives you a ladder that takes you onto the walk on roof which is really nice and it has a diamond-plated bumper which also looks really nice now the back door on this coach it's locked but it flips up and has some hydraulic lift arms to help support it up but this is a really really great idea because it gives you the ability to load from the back of your coach and basically just load everything you need all at once you can organize it they've really thought this out well they've put baskets and nets back there and truly made the back storage area of this coach a great great idea I want to go ahead and open up this side so you're able to see from the passenger side just how massive this storage area truly is you can see that smaller access door there to the right plus a service panel to service your hot water heater and look at this huge area in the back this is designed to hold like I said motorcycles bicycles almost anything you'd need plus des rod holders as well as this great netting system that can secure anything you might need into it this is just a really really phenomenal layout now one thing I think is really nice that openrange does is they put these galvanized shields above the tires kind of like a fender underneath the coach one of the nice things about that is it helps of course prevent little rocks and dings from occuring under the coach and here's that smaller access door that's right next to the larger access door that gives you access to the area right underneath the front portion of this storage Bay another nice thing about this open range is that it comes with a three year limited warranty compared to most RVs that have a one or in some cases two-year warranty I really appreciate these friction door hinges as well to wear no matter where you open it it's going to stay there so the wind doesn't catch it and sling it around so now we're going into the living area of this coach so the living room in this coach is very much a toy hauler style living room you have this massive sofa you have holes for two tables to sit here for dining area you have a nice large 50-inch TV up front plus your fireplace sound bar lots of cabinetry a lot of attention to detail in this coach as well as a really nice Island along with full convection full-size microwave nice sized stove oven as well as a full sized residential refrigerator part of the Frigidaire Gallery series you have all sorts of storage I mean this is the equivalent of a residential kitchen you have storage here you have storage next to your TV and entertainment center you have more cabinet space here you have more cabinets below and on top this unit has a seventy six thousand two hundred and eighty one dollar MSRP and a fifty-six thousand nine hundred dollar sales price super tall slides so it doesn't really matter how tall you are they look like they're probably seven feet tall you have a lot of room to walk around underneath the slide and you get that because of this full profile design that this RV is equipped with now as we walk to the front of this unit I want you to see these steps four feet wide lot of entry space to get into this front room so this is really unique so typically this would be maybe that front living room format in the case of this coach they turned this into a bunkhouse so you have two full-size love seats opposing they fold out into queen-size beds and you have this huge space up front with closets on both sides of a 40 inch TV as well as your own micro refrigerator here drawers shelf space another couch as well as a half bath with quite a bit of room nice sliding door here nice curtain treatments all the way around this is a really cool space now the ceiling height in here is probably six three so if you're taller than that you might need to dock but most people will probably be able to fit without a problem the other really nice thing about this is this feature right here the fact that this area can be completely closed off from the rest of the coach so if you have a lot of people staying with you you have a really really nice front living room front bedroom whatever you want this to be so you can kind of have that separation between spaces especially if you have a bunch of children with you nice frosted glass door the thing that's real nice is back out here under the super sofa you have these two big storage compartments underneath the ends a nice big overhang here if you want to put some barstools down this unit has twin air conditioning units one up front for the master bedroom that's ducted all the way through as well as the second system in the middle that's whisper-quiet and is also ducted throughout the coach here's your fury on entertainment system bluetooth and all your other connections for music and entertainment now we're going to step up into the master bedroom so typically with the master bedroom the wardrobe space is on the back wall here and the bed is on a slide in this case they put the Wardrobe on a slide so you have three drawers down here as well as two pockets and just a ton of room here to hang clothes really nice wardrobe space as well as extra drawers here this area underneath the bed is actually above that garage so this is at the back of the coach and you have a lot of room underneath the bed because it's all storage and this is really what sets this unit apart they use the actual space underneath the bed and the floor here for that extra storage space you see in the back of this coach lots of cabinetry now here's a master bathroom now this is a really impressive bathroom seeing the light from the skylight coming in a lot of rooms so you have this enormous space right here which is actually designed for a couple things first of all you can remove this whole assembly here and all your washer/dryer connections are right underneath so you have the ability to install either a stackable unit or a combo unit in place of where this is a lot of room for the bathroom and toilet you have a good five feet of room in front of the toilet here's your vanity medicine cabinet really nice accents to the door nice tall shower and then another huge cabinet right across from it just a very very well thought-out floor plan and then here's your main entry into the bathroom so you have two entrances into your bathroom one from the hallway leading up to the bedroom and then the second one from the actual bedroom itself here's your second thermostat control for the master bedroom air conditioning unit it's just again really cool layout and honestly at fifty-six thousand nine hundred it's a very affordable unit for what you get especially for a full profile coach here's your LCI controls you can control things like your slide outs and your leveling jacks directly from the touch screen they're very very nice unit this is definitely a coach that if you have a larger family you might want to consider now one thing I absolutely love about this coach is the look of the front cap beautiful beautiful detail just looks really really nice it's got probably one of the best-looking front caps I've seen on a fifth wheel in a long time and this one comes with a free bird's nest along with eggs I want to get to closer I might get attacked by bird guys this is a really cool layout because it has five slides it is really really a big floorplan gives you so much plus all the storage in the back big master bedroom big bunk house this coach gives you the ability to haul a lot of people around with a lot of gear for an extended period of time over very solid foundation I really like this coach I want to give a big shout out to the folks here at Dell air RV for letting to come out and film it definitely a coach you should look for if you're looking for something that can haul the entire family all over the country anyways guys if you haven't had a chance please take a moment subscribe to my channel give me a
