For all the complaints I've heard about this model or that, we bought our 2017 36RL and have been very happy with the quality. I just replaced some slide seals and the transition strip wall/roof...

Tampa Show

We were at the 2023 Tampa show with our son and his wife. Although they were looking for a smaller TT, my wife and I decided to look at the RW's while we were there. We really liked the 4120GK with...

I'm happy that you have such a great dealership, but we can't take our dealership with us. There's those of us who move away, locate our units in another state or are on the road and don't have...

comparison

We own a 2017 36RL with full body paint. The paint is holding up remarkably well and so has the rest of the unit. Owners on this forum have noted the thick body walls, of the Riverstone, although...

floorplan

We were at the Tampa RV show in January and compared the two. Although the 4001LK looks fine, I think the best kitchen is the new 4120GK if you've got a truck to pull it and the space to park it. ...

Larger diesel tank

Bought a new 2017 F-350 a few years ago and had my 34 gallon tank replaced by a Titan 55 gallon tank. Had Ford dealership install. Because it is a larger tank, a software update was required to...

Went through their plant in 2017. Impressive? Yes and no. LUXE boasted about their quality build, yet when I climbed up the ladder, I found between an 0.5 and 1.0 inch gap between the rear cap...

We've looked at a number of higher end 5th wheels at the RV shows, and we always come back to Redwood. We've had a few problems with ours, as all owners have, but with the 2 year warranty, most of...

Same here, if it's reasonably level, I just hook up, slides out and don't put the jacks down. We may get a little body movement, but it's not enough to warrant jacks. It's the most tactical...

Congrats on your new purchase. Many are still waiting for the semi-conductor chips, so I guess you're lucky to have placed the order when you did. I've owned Ford trucks all of my life. My latest...

Heat pumps

In our 2017, once our two heat pumps can't keep up with the demand, the propane furnace ignites and you get forced air heat through the floor ducts. This has happened on a couple occasions recently...

I believe most extended warranties can get cancelled at anytime. Call and ask them how much of a prorated refund you'd be getting. It might be worth it to take that sum of money and put it toward...

I've asked about the MorRyde IS with Disc brake option for some time now. We had our IS bearings re-greased at MorRyde in Nov. 2020 and saw several 5th wheel units that looked generic. MorRyde said...

I heartily agree with your assessment of RW in the removal of valuable storage space. We’re not full timers, but we spend nearly 6 consecutive months in our unit and we pack accordingly. RW has also...

Clear adhesive

My D seals came loose on one of my slides. I could see there was a fine bead of clear silicone like adhesive residual. The seals are in great shape, so I re-inserted the D seals in their respective...

I floated the idea of an extended warranty when we purchased our new RW back in 2017, yet once I began to read the fine print of "requiring an annual inspection", I canned the idea. I also was...

Sorry, I just can't buy that there's a 12K disparity between the GMC and the F350 if they are comparably equipped. We all understand that dealership's vary in pricing, so perhaps that's what you've...

Everyone is weighing in on SRW versus DRW, yet no one has discussed height. The new RW’s, I believe, have a height of 13’ 6”. The box height of the SuperDuties were reaching 38” until 2020 when they...
