My walk thru today in my new, brand new 370 MP. Recliner broke when I reclined. The center arm rest is not like what is in the video. I called my west coast rep Max. And he was like oh well. One of the ceiling can lights hanging down. The front of the JBL sound system had a crack in the front. The trim piece in the bedroom has a big gouge in it. Plus. I never got keys. It just dawned on me here at 4:45pm. I never got keys. But, this is what I do for my wife. She really wanted the Alliance. We had a chance to walk through a Brinkley at Sky River in Pismo, and my wife was not a happy camper, LOL. She also wished we had bought a Brinkley. I learned a lot during this process. I think I will make my own RUclips channel.
Not first! I wish there was a shelf in the coffee nook. This way you could store your coffee above the coffee maker. Not a fan of the opposing washer/dryer. Your hanging clothes get in the way of doing laundry. Much prefer stacked, facing out of the closet.
Nice fifth wheel! Would love to see the TV in the MP room mounted lower for use as a computer monitor and more cabinets built in above the TV. Perhaps even convert the loft area to storage cabinets above the TV to close it off for more privacy/sound barrier.
Nice unit the one thing I would change is the door to open the other way so you don’t get wet when raining or the awning longer
Love everything except the loft entrance from the hallway. I’d prefer a full wall in the hall with the loft entrance in the bunk room. I’d be using the bunk area for kids and being able to close the area and keep the adult noise activity out of the room would make nap time and bedtime much easier.
Agreed. Whats the point of having a door and room if its still open. Either close it off to make it an inside storage area accessible from the hall or close it off and put another ladder in the bunk room.
I really love your channel. One small request I have is that I would love to see more 1/2 ton towable RV's, like in the 5k-7k range. You do a lot of 5th wheels which I totally get given your channel name. I'm currently using you and a few other channels to find the perfect couples RV for me and my GF, and I love the way you do your reviews. Again, just a request and I won't stop watching or supporting your channel either way.
This might be the one we get.. thanks for the vid
We were just at the Alliance factory this past week getting some work done. We did tour the facility (plant 2) while there, but how I wish we could've gotten into plant 4 to see this display!!! Wow!
Great Unit, I love Alliance
JD, it looks like they made this with you in mind. Looks like your 3rd RV. You gonna need to expand that new building you built. 😂. Very nice unit.
I really like this mid bunk one of my favorites
This looks like a great floorplan! I may need to keep this one in mind. Glad they are thinking outside the box!!! Albeit, another box on wheels. ;)
Do you already have an RV?
That’s the best midbunk layout you have ever showed us
Interesting.
Love this new layout!
Why?
@@BeanCruisers Works for me is why.
Mid-bunks are a guilty pleasure of mine. Never owned one but would like to. I like the idea of that secluded space. I've seen a lot of permutations beyond just the basic upper and lower bed or upper bed/lower couch. I've seen a few with a quasi workspace setup. I've seen a rare couple that have a powder room at the back wall, and I think there's even been one where the powder room was shared with the room behind it. Other, rarer MB setups have the stack queen beds slideout, and another recent one had stacked twin bunks with powder room forward of the kitchen on the way to the front master.
I really like this unit!
Lovely 5th wheel. Now it was being used as a couple couch with someone working from the road it would imo be great.
If I was using this as a family and friends rv, then i think it needs at least a second half bathroom with so many people on board. Great video as always. Thank you 😊
Lo❤e This RV. This is perfect for me.
I think Alliance did a great job revising their midbunk to this version. 👍
Beautiful 5th wheel. The loft would be problem if someone were sleeping there and someone else wanted to work at the desk late at night or early in the morning.
I could live in this. There's a lot of space for people to do their own things.
Really nice unit. Great layout for a larger family.
I’d like to see more cargo carrying capacity given that this could be a family unit and that means more weight. Go to 8000lb axels and up the GVWR to 18,000 lbs.
I agree with you about those kitchen drawers.
I wish the loft in the bunk room was closed off on the door side and accessed from the bunk room instead. I know how many families want the closed off bunk room and this doesn’t really offer that. I can also see kids tearing back and forth between the bunk room and the loft given the current configuration.
How would you pull that?!
Really nice!
Please do some more Alliance trailers 😊
They will take over Montana sales eventually, beautiful unit.
Great 5th wheel! Why don't manufacturers have a simple bluetooth remote for slideout/awning control... seems like an easy, modern solution.
That is a good idea!
This is very nice, so I guess that I will need a dually for this, but the one thing that I don't like about it is the jack-n-jill bathroom but other than that I'm sold.
What bout the loft?
I love this floor plan. Just don't have enough truck to tow it....and I'm not buying another new truck.
Truck prices are insane. I have a Ford F250 SD and I am sticking with that until the truck market crashes.
@@mikewadams1 yup....bought a 22 ram 2500....same truck spec for 2024 is about 15k more. In no way is this even reasonable.
I took delivery of our 2025 380mp today. Did my walk through. All I can say is, if you want to meet the most incompetent stupid people, go buy an RV. Plus, I already have buyers remorse. I should have bought a Brinkley. You get Absolutely Nothing with Alliance. No back up Camera. No tire pressure monitoring system. No toilet paper holder. No kitchen trash can cutting board, spot for knives, and silverware. No outdoor speakers. No dove tail drawer construction. No combo lock for the screen door. No handle on the screen door. No outdoor refrigerator. Oh. There's a lot more you don't get with an Alliance. Oh the door for the multipurpose room is a pocket door. What the hell do you get with an Alliance Paradigm to make it so expense?
My biggest issue with mid-bunks has always been the ducting for the bunk room. This completely changes the game.
VERY NICE
Really nice
Very nice, I like the design and also the floor plan. In the mid bunk is the sofa a jack knife sofa or what? I’m just wondering because if at night the person on the drop down bunk had to get down would they be able to use the ladder or would the sofa bed be in the way? And one more question, does the livingroom couch make into a bed?
JD what's your towing recommendation, as per what type of truck?
Your channel rocks.
I'd only go with a modern 1ton single or dual rear wheel truck with at least 4200lbs of payload capacity.
Thank you. I'm looking at getting a 2023 ford f350 srw 7.3 gas with over 4700lbs of payload.
@johnwayne3777 I would check your tires on your truck as well. Sometimes manufacturers put measly tires for stock trucks. I would verify your weight capacity on each tires and compare to RAWR on your truck.
I would like to see this in a 40-44’ length…personally , the latter !
They need to put in an adjustable bed which raises the head space to give more floor space at the end of the bed for changing. Forest river does it on their Salem View trailers and it makes a huge difference. All manufacturers with tight spaces in the bedroom should install them, or at least offer them as an option. Other than that, I like this unit.
I love it! What is the market value sale price?
The mid bunk is nice EXCEPT for the loft. The loft would be a good idea IF it only opened to the outside or inside the mid bunk but NOT both. Is the bed in the mid bunk long enough for an adult or as long as 72"?
Hi, great video. Question, Do you know if the sink has a matching solid surface cover(s)?
Nice
Alliance may have made a mistake here, assuming they are no longer making the 390MP. I own a 390MP and it hands down has the best office of any fifth wheel or trailer that I have seen. As there is no slide in the MP room, it allows for a full-sized desk with no obstructions for an office chair. Yes, the pantry is beyond pathetic, but when you're working from the road full time having that office with a real desk and a chair that doesn't get hung up on a slide transition more than makes up for the weak pantry. I know a lot of people won't agree with this, but when you spend 8 to 12 hours a day looking at a computer monitor or monitors, there is currently nothing better than the 390MP. I would also say that the loft in the 390MP made a great attic/storage space. With a little work you could close it off and hide the clutter...
A ceiling fan would be great for those of us who don’t care for air conditioning
Contrasting colors is a must..some new campers are getting awefully boring…
Is the main living area only cooled from dumping the rear AC? I did not see any ducts in the ceiling back there.
I love the midbunk, but I'm kinda curious how you'd get in the top bunk when the couch was pulled out as a bed? Looks like the bed would be in the way of the ladder. Also curious why don't the higher end RV's do dinettes anymore, there always freestanding, I prefer the dinettes because it also gave you more sleeping space.
Did you happen to catch if they are using the Accu-Slide or the Exact-Slide for that front slide out? I can’t seem to find any info about it on their site. Thanks!
I wish you would have shown the storage behind the fireplace instead of just pointing to it with your foot. I've never seen that in an RV.
I feel like the coffee area should have matched the other white cabinets so it at least defines the kitchen area. The area that is white is so small and then the coffee area and island are stained wood. But that stained wood doesn't match the fireplace wood. I'm not a fan of that look. Too choppy.
Would you buy this RV?
@@BeanCruisers I like many things about the RV. I'd buy it if some changes were made. I'm specifically looking for an RV where I have a room for the 3 boys (possibly a 4th). I really don't like how high the loft is with the ability to hang over the railing. I'd prefer the railings to be higher. And for sound reasons I'd rather the loft was closed in so its a true room. I think my favorite RV so far is the Brinkley Model Z 3610. I LOVE that the couch could be switched for a bed and that there is a trundle that just pushes away.
My 2nd place would be Forest River Wildcat 1. Everything is in 1 room. It has bunks and the loft could sleep 2. Plus it looks so much safer. Barely any room above the railings.
How would you compare this mid bunk to the Brinkley Z3610 for features and quality?
Brinkley will be “nicer”. However the Brinkley is a mid-profile RV. Whereas the paradigm is a full profile fifth wheel. Alliance’s mid-profile is the Avenue.
This would be our first 5th wheel and not extremely tall so we're OK with mid-profile. We would have prefered a toy hauler from Brinkley but can't afford or tow a G3500 with our SRW F-350 that we'll be getting next Spring. Thanks@@situationaladventures
Price?
I can't be the only one that wants to know the length of the RV and the size of the holding tanks. Rarely does he include that information.
That information as well as several other granular details are always available on their website.
I wish the loft was accessed from the mid bunk instead of the hall
MSRP?
Wow. Get to be first. Great review as always
What is the rv length?
How much is it
Not sure how I feel about not having the ability to isolate the mid bunk . When I saw the loft from inside the room, was trying to figure out how someone got into it , looked too small an area to climb over the railing, didn't think that you would be able to enter from the hallway . I would prefer to just have the 1 door from the hallway into the bathroom and get rid of the 2nd door into the bedroom . But I do like the designs that allow you to enter the bathroom without having to go through the bedroom . But overall, I like the layout .
Have you seen better?
For sound isolation purposes, I wish that loft didn’t open to the rest of the RV.
Everything else good with the RV?
Give me 6 to 8 months and I will be trading in my 2025 380MP. For a Brinkley. The door for the mid bunk should have been a pocket door.
I don't like the loft open to the hall and I hate when they put door from the master to the bathroom. It's pointless. To me close off the bath door to master and put a wall up in the hall so the loft is in the bunk room.
Felt like a carnival ride. That particular camera is really not so great uh. Now to ecover lol
Like everything except loft, they should have gotten rid of loft and closed off room with cabinets
Some people like it.
Cabinets look cheap; no dovetails........doesn't look or sound like hard wood
I hate that the washer and dryer are In the closet
That little mid bunk 4 year olds
Another video of an RV that did something you never saw before come on, dude.
What? Never seen that?
Oh shit to much weight nevermind
