We just purchased this 32 RLS. It is in a permanent spot on the river. Can move if necessary. We LOVE it. Windows face river and kitchen is like cooking at home. Can’t be happier. Our retirement gift to each other. So in love.
I like the idea of having a separate washer and dryer. those all in one units take frickin forever to do one tiny load! This way you can be drying a load while washing a delicate load that won't go in the dryer anyway! or a throw rug that your going to hang to dry outside. very handy. I'm not a fan of the farmhouse look, I prefer a darker interior, but this color palette is very pretty I could learn to live with it. I like the half booth and half chairs dinette. I haven't seen that before and I like it. love the prep space and space on each side of stove. I like that there's enough room to move around in the bathroom. But again it's upstairs and I don't like that. And as always I think you do an exceptional job 👏 👌
The atrium windows, the light interior and carpet less floors is what sold us on this. We love ours and are looking forward many years of camping with it.
That center portion can be used for putting something like a small vase. Think of the old adage. A little hyacinth for the soul. And put TV trays in the side pockets next to the sofa.
Avenue is high if not at the top of my list of fifth wheels to consider. Love the wide body, love the bright decor. Reflection, Cougar, Solitude need to modernize their interiors.
I LOVE THIS!! The interior is perfect! Not your usual dark brown on brown, and not your bright, tryhard farmhouse style. Wife and I are definitely eyeing this one!
The lightness of the interior is a huge plus, but the mix of woods drives me completely crazy! I prefer all cabinets and woodwork throughout be the same (ideally light gray or white!) We’ve got 10-15 years until retirement, so I’m hoping that trend (along with dark interiors) will be over. 😊
We looked at one of these at our local RV Expo this year and really liked this RV. Love, love the light interior! There was not much that we did not like. Hubby said this was his favorite.
I wasn’t sure what to expect but somehow this still exceeded my expectations if that made sense It’s truly not just another fifth wheel. It’s no pretender. It’s the real deal
Love my 32rls, went from a rockwood signature to the ABenue and couldn't be happier. The Wide body makes a huge difference in how open it feels especially with the lighter colors. Fantastic job on the review Josh.
I agree with you on this one Josh. I have a friend with the top end Alliance toy hauler and while they paid a LOT MORE for it than this one goes for (as you'd expect), it's really a nice RV. They had a couple of the usual teething issues and something did break, and Alliance sent a technician out with a replacement part and fitted it "in the field" for them. Not at a facility somewhere, but where they were camping at the time. Top quality customer service.
LOVE the tank sizes! LOVE the cabinet doors in the bathroom linen storage--not a fan of open storage either! Would prefer solid surface countertop in bathroom rather than epoxy poured countertop. Overall, great job Alliance and, of course, JOSH!
Love it. Everything about Grand Design that I don't like is addressed here. Solitude 310gkr is too expensive. Reflection 337rls has carpet, tankless water heater, and BROWN. Reflection 303rls has no washer/dryer hookup. And no GD has Azdel. This Abenue covers ALL those things. Top of the list!
4:44 that light gray with white grouting subway tile backsplash on the coffee bar AND around the faux fireplace (i.e. it’s electric) is awesome, & coordinates well with the grey decor elsewhere 🙌🏽 #aweSAM 👍🏽👍🏽
Back in days of old I had 1975 Layton 28' fifth wheel that I towed easily with my 1/2 ton 69 Chevy. I really wish the was something like available today. sigh... Beautiful rig and your usual outstanding presentation, Josh. Thank you.
I really like the attention to detail and craftsmanship in the bedroom closet and also the fact that even though its a king size mattress they do give you a small spot to keep your phone at night. I didnt like the lighter colored wood but it grew on me as the video went on. I would like carpet atleast in the bedroom but thats just personal preference! Another nice unit
First to cover your “ducts vs Ducks” issue, you have to remember that you are in “Duck” county there in Junction City. So that will clear up that mid-western issue. With this rig, I LOVE IT!!!!! I white instead of distressed look is much cleaner looking. And when there are those cloudy days, the lighter look will keep the rig brighter. Love the storage. You did miss one cabinet above the microwave but that’s just a small cabinet for paper plates and cups. You didn’t show the bedroom TV so does it come with one or I would need to purchase and install it? I love the separate washer and dryer section. You still would have storage above each unit. And even though you and I have discussed, I usually prefer rear kitchen rigs but I could get used to this one. Thanks for your help and hard work my friend!!!!!
I love this one - checks so many boxes!! My first choice of trailer will always be a 27' flying cloud airstream but this one comes in second (although they are entirely different campers). I love this decor! The finish in some areas is a little rough but they are easy fixes. I love the campside dinette which is how all trailers should be designed. The removable bench is a great idea and I like the fact the bench is on the wall side not used as a divider between the sofa and dinette which I've seen done in other models. The windows are perfect not just in size/amount but in style as well. Frameless windows are a deal killer for me. The island with an asymmetrically placed sink is perfect and I love the farmhouse look they made with the trim pieces. The 2 way fridge is a fantastic size and of course the fact that is propane equipped is a "yay"! Since one of my requirements is space for a dedicated office, I would simply take out the sofa and build in a desk with drawers. To work surrounded by all those windows would be amazing. The biggest "YES!!" has got to be that level slide floor at the stove area. I so wish all kitchen slides were made like this. Such a trip hazard near flames is NEVER a good idea! Have I mentioned the windows? I love the amount of windows!! The only issue I have is found in the bathroom and they are not even big issues - don't like under-mounted sinks and the shower is a wee bit short for my 6'1" partner but fortunately that skylight is quite long. One question however - where are the heat vents? I coudn't see floor or cabinet vents anywhere. Did I miss it?
Ty for sharing all this with me today!! Heat vents are cabinet ducted and they do a pretty good job of being fairly clever about tucking them out of the way
I really like this one. Not crazy on the inside color like you Josh. I like darker wood...but this one is reallyyyyy nice. I do like the separate washer and dryer spaces. thats a huge plus. I havbe nothing really else to complain about. So this makes one of the best on my list. I even like the kitchen table booth/chair thing and the nice long sofa. I think i would want the side black out panels on the windows.
Very nice unit Nerd! I definitely has some advantages over my Reflection 337. I’m not sure which one I like better, but this one is a contender! Looking forward to the next one!
Reflection has some great features going on as well. I like their new standard solar platform and how expandable it is. The tankless water heater is something not everyone is excited about but I personally like
You always do a great job in your vids mate and if you do miss something all anyone has to do is ask and you answer. So just keep on doing what you do. As for this Alliance, I'm not "wow" but it's nice. The fact they separated the washer and dryer hookups is actually a pretty good idea. I do have to mention one thing - *sigh* - plaid. LoL
I think there was an overrun of buffalo check fabric one season and the RV industry scooped it up at a deep discount. Hopefully, the end is nearing. Hopefully! 🙃 Yes, I'm being silly. :-) But I really dislike buffalo checks! ...Teale 🏜️
Love so much about Alliance trailers including the fact that they seem to have no problem getting ladders while other manufacturers are currently totally eliminating them👍but I think the two colored cabinet decor clash with each other😬and those plaid dinette cushions🥴
Pretty nice one ! I like the wide body at this weight ! By the way Josh , my wife informs me that the above the sofa little shelves are for "play pretties " Seemingly meaningless decorative objects which are apparently very important ! The stark white kitchen is a bit jolting and the pass through is a bit wonky.
Awesome TT Josh! Very well thought out and engineered! Only suggestion is to get rid of the window behind the stovetop. Love the way they address the washer/dryer capability.
Why would you say that? I always appreciate windows where ever they can be placed. If I don't want it open I simply close it. I personally love cooking in a light and airy environment and no better than a window right in front of me.
I really think they nailed the decor in the #ABenue. I love the lighter look which makes the coach feel so spacious. Some of my other faves are the flush-floor slides (toe kicks drive me crazy) & the TV/fireplace set up. The pull out TV is more functional than the fixed TV in the Paradigm. The Avenue fireplace also looks much more sleek & residential than the Paradigm. It doesn't have that weird, jutting out release handle thingy on the floor like the Paradigm fireplace has, so you can access the storage bin behind the fireplace. I like the kitchen layout & I love the large counter space on both sides of the stove. I might prefer a larger pantry & a smaller space for the coffee bar. One "miss" for me is the size of the bathroom sink. The amount of counter space is nice but I think the sink is too small & not well placed in relation to the medicine cabinet. Yes, you can fit your hands in it but try bending forward to brush your teeth or wash your face. I think you'll hit your head on the cabinet & water will go everywhere because the sink is too small. But overall, I think the Avenue is a really nice coach.
I'm the weird one who actually likes RV beds. They're firm as a rock most of the time but for some reason it works for me. I sleep better in RVs than I ever have in a traditional bed and I don't know why.
Josh, love your videos! In our ABenue we keep our throw blankets in one of the side sofa storages and dog blankets and toys in the other. We love our Alliance 32RLS!
I heard you mention “fitted sheets” last week in a video and it went right over my head,but this time I heard you loud and clear! ( but the kids did not). 😂
I really like the lighter colors and carpetless floor slide. I could see the Reflection/Eagle/Cougar floorplan right off. The tank capacities are off the charts outstanding for that size RV. I guess the real drawback for me is the shower height. That's just a bit disappointing. I'm still really looking for a drop frame RV for that extra storage. Thank you, you hit the high points, nice video Josh.
Really nice layout and I like the lighter wood and consistent flooring. Not a fan of the fabrics used in furniture and cushions., however. Not a fan of the tiny bathroom sink. I would prefer for my personal situation if the shower didn't have the built-in seat but rather a drop-down seat that could be used if needed. The bedroom is a nice layout and as you mentioned the entire unit has very good storage but I'm not quite sure how the washer and dryer fit in there. I see the hookups that you showed but do the actual machines sit up on that lower shelf? If so then you're not losing a lot of your closet space and to me hanging space is a big deal in a camper as I prefer to hang my clothes rather than fold them. Overall a very nice unit just some cosmetic things I would do differently with the furnishings as I prefer to have leather or leather at upholstery as it wears better for my situation. However I'm sure my dogs would find the sofa quite comfortable.
Yarn goes in all of the storage. Always. We like the brick around the fireplace and as a backsplash on the "coffee bar". Of course, if we bought this unit the first thing we'd do is take the doors off of the bathroom storage. I watched Cliffhanger again on Amazon Prime, not too long ago. Why be ginger, MaryAnn was nicer. Yeah, I think Alliance is probably the only brand that stands any chance of overcoming our Grand Design bias.
I like the fact that they are using “white” plug receptacles so that you can actually SEE where your plugging into! Hate those dark dark brown receptacles as you can’t see the plug holes! Yes we get your references and actually enjoy them! Are you saying your neighbors wouldn’t appreciate Slim Whitman yodeling through your speakers????
The 12v fridge is side by side upper fridge with a drawer freezer. The doors clear the island counter, so easy access with the slide closed to the fridge, no access to the freezer.
Eagle/Reflecting offer similar features w/a darker decor. Maybe try one of these: • Reflection: ruclips.net/video/A81F811WmhY/видео.html • Eagle: ruclips.net/video/hy1oGC_tvgQ/видео.html (Available with both a farmhouse and darker brown decors)
Josh . We are looking at the 32rls .you can not get a electric propane refrigerator. We asked on alliance site and the said you can no longer get it .12 volt and residential only
Might be a recent change -- or perhaps I just got my wires crossed. I sometimes have to gather information quickly or get stuff mixed up in my head while recording TY for this update info
12 volt only, no choice of a residential. No more of the absorption fridges. The 12 volt fridge is better in every way. The time for the absorption fridges to go the way of the dodo bird has arrived. In a year or two nobody will be offering a propane fridge.
Great review Josh as always. One question, is the Paradigm head and shoulders above the Avenue? I’ve seen roughly $20k diff between basically the same floor plans. Thank you for all you do.
White wash interior? That's taking us back to my original trailer trailer in 1992 except mine had carpet. What am I missing uncle Josh. I know you are not the manufacturer buddy. This is one great set up except the interior for me anyway. Just completely love the set up and space. 👎 on the interior but I think everyone figured that out by now. Love ya buddy, thanks for showing it
Love it, and the only fail we see is the headroom in the shower. Why do you have to step up to get into that? My husband is 6’4” and that would not be the best option for him. Otherwise we love this unit!
The shower is disappointing! being a 6' tall person, a flat floor shower is priceless - for the next model year they need to drop the plumbing to get a flat floor for the average height person!!!
That's actually a SUPER common theme.. guys will ask us if there's a fifth wheel they could look at so they can convince their wife to let them get a new truck It's nearly daily
I’ll be picky and say I don’t like the light wood and light grey furniture beside the stainless with black trim fridge/stove/microwave. I do like the lighter colors but I’d like the fixtures to coordinate a little better 🤷🏼♀️
Here we go with my unconsciousness. Like that it is vented in the floor. The color is amazing!. Love the layout of the kitchen. Yay...wide body. Wish they would put in the solar shades, with white room darkening shades on the windows. Great with the air set up! Love the bath]. Oh my gosh that window above the bed window. Queen bed for me. I'd roll into the wall 🧱 Awesome closet. Beautiful exterior. Great plus with towing. Yes they need to do Azdel. Awesome PVC. Off grid pkg. Would be great! Beautiful unit. 😍 Thanks! Have you heard of Ahara Brand?
It's double AZDEL, both the inside and outside walls are Azdel. Check out the Avenue Owners group (you dont have to be an owner) on FB to see pics with the queen beds. I ordered mine with the solar, 12 volt fridge and a queen bed.
Talking stores...can we get Oregon sales-tax-free benefits if we buy a rig outside of Oregon and have it delivered there? or vis versa, if we buy in Oregon and then move it outside the state? or do we need to be residents?
I LOVE your videos!!!! Could this be towed with a F250 crew cab 6.75 Lariat 7.3L V8? Would that be close to the max or be easily towed. There would be two adults and two dogs in the pickup (550-600lbs). Thanks!
I pull one of these with a f250 6.2 short bed. Pulls fine. I weigh it often and the most I have had the pin weight up to is just over 3100. My trucks tag says max payload is 3460.
Josh, has FRONT living models gone out of style? Cuz I don't recall you doing a review of one in a very long time. Would love to see one reviewed and your great take on them.
They havent at all -- quite popular really. I just already had a bunch recorded like the North Point FLRB, Montana 3761FL, and a few others like Arctic Wolf and maybe a Heritage Glen. I have a FANTASTIC Paradigm front living coming and am trying to get my hands on Cougar's new version
Because the wall is only 3" thick. Also you have to cut a path up the wall for the wire. Then once you do all that you have to devise a system underneath to allow the wires to move in and out with the slide without stretching or getting caught.
We just purchased this 32 RLS. It is in a permanent spot on the river. Can move if necessary. We LOVE it. Windows face river and kitchen is like cooking at home. Can’t be happier. Our retirement gift to each other. So in love.
Congratulations Joanne!!
I like the idea of having a separate washer and dryer. those all in one units take frickin forever to do one tiny load! This way you can be drying a load while washing a delicate load that won't go in the dryer anyway! or a throw rug that your going to hang to dry outside. very handy. I'm not a fan of the farmhouse look, I prefer a darker interior, but this color palette is very pretty I could learn to live with it. I like the half booth and half chairs dinette. I haven't seen that before and I like it. love the prep space and space on each side of stove. I like that there's enough room to move around in the bathroom. But again it's upstairs and I don't like that. And as always I think you do an exceptional job 👏 👌
The atrium windows, the light interior and carpet less floors is what sold us on this. We love ours and are looking forward many years of camping with it.
Nice pick!!
That center portion can be used for putting something like a small vase. Think of the old adage. A little hyacinth for the soul.
And put TV trays in the side pockets next to the sofa.
TV trays are a painfully under valued in rvs I think
Avenue is high if not at the top of my list of fifth wheels to consider. Love the wide body, love the bright decor. Reflection, Cougar, Solitude need to modernize their interiors.
*ABenue 😉
Lol Rambo
I was super happy with the few I went thru
Oh yes I get the 90’s references. Lol. Thanks again for the great humor & detail info.
Glad you like them!
I LOVE THIS!! The interior is perfect! Not your usual dark brown on brown, and not your bright, tryhard farmhouse style. Wife and I are definitely eyeing this one!

I've been in this industry to see interiors change a few times. It's going to probably be something that remains cyclical if I had to guess
Wow!!!!! Gorgeous! Love the bright decor! Love the huge windows! Love the half bench/half chairs dinette! Love everything about this!
I am a total Sly Stallone fan, and it makes me happy that you mentioned him😃
😊
We looked at one of these at our local RV Expo this year and really liked this RV. Love, love the light interior! There was not much that we did not like. Hubby said this was his favorite.
I am super impressed with what I am seeing out of these for sure
We absolutely love the Avenue! I’m ready to see the Avenue All access series.
I wasn’t sure what to expect but somehow this still exceeded my expectations if that made sense
It’s truly not just another fifth wheel. It’s no pretender. It’s the real deal
@@JoshtheRVNerd The Avenue is high on the list for sure!

Ty Rubi - appreciate that!!
I agree with you on this one Josh. I have a friend with the top end Alliance toy hauler and while they paid a LOT MORE for it than this one goes for (as you'd expect), it's really a nice RV. They had a couple of the usual teething issues and something did break, and Alliance sent a technician out with a replacement part and fitted it "in the field" for them. Not at a facility somewhere, but where they were camping at the time. Top quality customer service.
Went thru my first valor models recently. That 40v13 is currently my favorite toy hauler ever
@@JoshtheRVNerd Big, huh? Our friends (actually friends of my wife) added all sorts of add-ons to it and are now full timing.
Another half dinette? I'm really digging those. If I ever start lookin for 5th wheels this is totally up my alley!
I first saw it in eagle as an option years ago. I wasn't sure about it. Seeing it in person.. it's growing on me
If I was interested in a comfy 5th wheel full-time living on the move RV this checks all the boxes. Love the interior colors.
I was impressed. Did everything I would e wanted in an rv and then plenty more for sure
LOVE the tank sizes! LOVE the cabinet doors in the bathroom linen storage--not a fan of open storage either! Would prefer solid surface countertop in bathroom rather than epoxy poured countertop. Overall, great job Alliance and, of course, JOSH!
Thank you for watching!
Love the nightstands on the slide facia. More makers need to do this.
Love it. Everything about Grand Design that I don't like is addressed here. Solitude 310gkr is too expensive. Reflection 337rls has carpet, tankless water heater, and BROWN. Reflection 303rls has no washer/dryer hookup. And no GD has Azdel. This Abenue covers ALL those things. Top of the list!
Abenue is one of the strongest entries into the FW market I've seen in a LONG time. It's ALL of the high value features wrapped up into one RV
My drawers are big , gotcha on the 80s jargon don't forget the suspenders to hold the bed sheets . Good thing I don't fold the laundry 😉 . 💣🚽💥💥

@@carolkrueger7121 100% disagree, how about simply closing it when you don't want or need the light yet opening it up when when you do?
The road mode is very helpful in my opinion
good! Ty for letting me know :)

About time they did a light decor. I love it.
I really like it. More than I expected
We were very interested in the Avenue. It has everything we want/need. But the price is a bit more than we can pay.
Josh, we love your RV reviews, keep them up. Where can we get a RV nerd hat? Also what camera are you using for your videos?
Nerdmerch is in the works!!
Really nice layout and I like the lighter wood and consistent flooring. Not a fan of the fabrics used in furniture and cushions., however. Not a fan of the tiny bathroom sink. I would prefer for my personal situation if the shower didn't have the built-in seat but rather a drop-down seat that could be used if needed. The bedroom is a nice layout and as you mentioned the entire unit has very good storage but I'm not quite sure how the washer and dryer fit in there. I see the hookups that you showed but do the actual machines sit up on that lower shelf? If so then you're not losing a lot of your closet space and to me hanging space is a big deal in a camper as I prefer to hang my clothes rather than fold them. Overall a very nice unit just some cosmetic things I would do differently with the furnishings as I prefer to have leather or leather at upholstery as it wears better for my situation. However I'm sure my dogs would find the sofa quite comfortable.
love them 90'eds movies
Yarn goes in all of the storage. Always. We like the brick around the fireplace and as a backsplash on the "coffee bar". Of course, if we bought this unit the first thing we'd do is take the doors off of the bathroom storage. I watched Cliffhanger again on Amazon Prime, not too long ago. Why be ginger, MaryAnn was nicer.
Yeah, I think Alliance is probably the only brand that stands any chance of overcoming our Grand Design bias.
For a long time in this class Cougar, Eagle, and Reflection were the clear "Alpha" brands. I feel like this has the potential to shake that up
I like the fact that they are using “white” plug receptacles so that you can actually SEE where your plugging into! Hate those dark dark brown receptacles as you can’t see the plug holes! Yes we get your references and actually enjoy them! Are you saying your neighbors wouldn’t appreciate Slim Whitman yodeling through your speakers????
I suppose it depends upon the neighbors? :)
Great bathroom
Hi Josh looks like I just missed you. I was at Bish Junction City yesterday signing for a new Lance 2075!
Congrats Drew! I actually recorded this a few weeks ago but I do hope to return there sometime
The 12v fridge is side by side upper fridge with a drawer freezer. The doors clear the island counter, so easy access with the slide closed to the fridge, no access to the freezer.
THANK YOU for sharing this!!
Really nice. I like it. Mixed on the light wood though. Not sure, def hate all the white, but everyone does it. So it is what it is. Tyfs!
Eagle/Reflecting offer similar features w/a darker decor. Maybe try one of these:
• Reflection: ruclips.net/video/A81F811WmhY/видео.html
• Eagle: ruclips.net/video/hy1oGC_tvgQ/видео.html (Available with both a farmhouse and darker brown decors)
Very nice..
Thank you! Cheers!
1:06 Me Too‼️ & I LOVE This Decor❗️😍👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👍🏽👍🏽🙌🏽🤩
1:08 That Would Be Me 🙋🏽♂️
😊 I hoped you’d see this one
I wish they offered the residential oven in the avenue line.
Truck with that is rv classifications. RVIA has specific guidelines of what makes an RV an.. RV lol
Ovens are one of those
@@JoshtheRVNerd I was meaning the "residential oven" that comes with the paradigms.
@@matttheratt ah!! Ty for the clarification
22:00 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👍🏽👍🏽🙌🏽
This a sweet rig, I like that they warrant full time living! Do they zero degree test this?
They do and they even perform test tows with full holding tanks
Wood ... that looks like wood (instead of being painted white or black)? Wow! Thumbs up!
Crazy right? Lol
I guess you could say that it comes equipped with enough outlets to charge all your portable devices in the bedroom.
I know we have a slew of them now
It would seem to be a small point compared to the rest of this epic rig, but those tank sizes are beyond awesome!
AND they actually do test towing with FULL holding tanks when a model is built which I've never heard from another brand before
Josh . We are looking at the 32rls .you can not get a electric propane refrigerator. We asked on alliance site and the said you can no longer get it .12 volt and residential only
Might be a recent change -- or perhaps I just got my wires crossed. I sometimes have to gather information quickly or get stuff mixed up in my head while recording
TY for this update info
12 volt only, no choice of a residential. No more of the absorption fridges. The 12 volt fridge is better in every way. The time for the absorption fridges to go the way of the dodo bird has arrived.
In a year or two nobody will be offering a propane fridge.
How long is this wonderful 5th wheel?
I love everything about this one! 😍😍🤗🤗

@@JoshtheRVNerd Thank you Josh
Great review Josh as always. One question, is the Paradigm head and shoulders above the Avenue? I’ve seen roughly $20k diff between basically the same floor plans. Thank you for all you do.
I think Paradigm is a an Avenue that’s been elevated
The same core dna is there
But certain features bump up like dishwasher prep, third air, etc
9:16 🔊 Pump Up The Jamz 🎶
Wow, just so pretty
Thx for watching, Mildred! Have a great day! :)
don't like beds without headboards. don't like window over bed
2:55 the ABenue is “One Dime” to the Paradigm’s “Pair Of Dimes” 😄😁😆🤣😂😅
Hahaha
14:16 🙋🏽♂️😉
I really like the lighter tones in this 😄
I did as well
White wash interior? That's taking us back to my original trailer trailer in 1992 except mine had carpet. What am I missing uncle Josh. I know you are not the manufacturer buddy. This is one great set up except the interior for me anyway. Just completely love the set up and space. 👎 on the interior but I think everyone figured that out by now. Love ya buddy, thanks for showing it
No worries! I appreciate you watching and sharing
Love it, and the only fail we see is the headroom in the shower. Why do you have to step up to get into that? My husband is 6’4” and that would not be the best option for him. Otherwise we love this unit!
Not sure. I didn’t investigate what might be under the shower there. It’s possible they were trying to ensure the pass thru stayed more unobstructed
The shower is disappointing! being a 6' tall person, a flat floor shower is priceless - for the next model year they need to drop the plumbing to get a flat floor for the average height person!!!
👍🏻
Noticed that the Floor on the slides, is warped! What's up with that? it should be smooth!
That's not the floor - it's just the linoleum on the end. I probably bunched it up with my feet while standing in the corner to record the kitchen
2:48 it’s rare I like RV valence’s, but these are nice 👍🏽
I get all your 90’s jokes. I watched a tutorial how to get all my materials for nothing.
Glad SOMEONE does lol
Doe the patio LG quick.coneect come standard or is it and option.
I’m sorry but I am not sure what you’re asking based on how this is written
I think the only reason I would want a 5th wheel would be to have a truck that could pull it 😂
That's actually a SUPER common theme.. guys will ask us if there's a fifth wheel they could look at so they can convince their wife to let them get a new truck
It's nearly daily
@@JoshtheRVNerd seems like a great tactic.
I’ll be picky and say I don’t like the light wood and light grey furniture beside the stainless with black trim fridge/stove/microwave. I do like the lighter colors but I’d like the fixtures to coordinate a little better 🤷🏼♀️
Fair enough!
Here we go with my unconsciousness. Like that it is vented in the floor. The color is amazing!. Love the layout of the kitchen. Yay...wide body. Wish they would put in the solar shades, with white room darkening shades on the windows. Great with the air set up! Love the bath]. Oh my gosh that window above the bed window. Queen bed for me. I'd roll into the wall 🧱 Awesome closet. Beautiful exterior. Great plus with towing.
Yes they need to do Azdel. Awesome PVC. Off grid pkg. Would be great!
Beautiful unit. 😍 Thanks!
Have you heard of Ahara Brand?
One last thought they should be giving you automatically give a better mattress.
And I love the bench/dinette. Tons of storage.
It's double AZDEL, both the inside and outside walls are Azdel. Check out the Avenue Owners group (you dont have to be an owner) on FB to see pics with the queen beds. I ordered mine with the solar, 12 volt fridge and a queen bed.
Yes I am familiar with Ahara and simply have t been able to get any recorded yet
@@JoshtheRVNerd that's totally understandable.
24:11 & Josh also isn’t saying the roof requires no maintenance, as you ALWAYS need to check & maintain the seals 🦭 No! Not THOSE Seals❗️🤦🏽♂️
Pantry and coffee bar need to flip for road mode, did mine after purchase and its heaven. Guess these designers just do not rv
is this a extended season unit? is it a single outlet sewer dump? Thanks Josh keep up the good work!
It is a single point dump on the 32rls
Single dump and yes, hot/cold rated
12:55 now we know the sound of 1 hand clapping #KOAN 😑 🙇🏽
Talking stores...can we get Oregon sales-tax-free benefits if we buy a rig outside of Oregon and have it delivered there? or vis versa, if we buy in Oregon and then move it outside the state? or do we need to be residents?
Short answer: It depends on the details of the purchase and how it's registered
@@JoshtheRVNerd thanks :)
I LOVE your videos!!!!
Could this be towed with a F250 crew cab 6.75 Lariat 7.3L V8? Would that be close to the max or be easily towed. There would be two adults and two dogs in the pickup (550-600lbs). Thanks!
“Probably” is the best I can tell you without vehicle specs to go by. There are a huge variety of truck variants
I pull one of these with a f250 6.2 short bed. Pulls fine. I weigh it often and the most I have had the pin weight up to is just over 3100. My trucks tag says max payload is 3460.
Any chance you are going to review a Avenue 31bhs?
Hopefully but I doing have one QUITE yet t
Josh, has FRONT living models gone out of style? Cuz I don't recall you doing a review of one in a very long time. Would love to see one reviewed and your great take on them.
They havent at all -- quite popular really. I just already had a bunch recorded like the North Point FLRB, Montana 3761FL, and a few others like Arctic Wolf and maybe a Heritage Glen. I have a FANTASTIC Paradigm front living coming and am trying to get my hands on Cougar's new version
Fantastic wet bat and hold back
Side storage pockets will hold Bourbon.
Lol nice
So when are YOU gonna GO "Full Monty"...? 😉
Dude I practically turn the lights off when I get out of the shower. Even the mirror doesn’t want to see that
I’ve always wondered… Why is it difficult to put outlets in a laminated slide wall?
Because the wall is only 3" thick. Also you have to cut a path up the wall for the wire. Then once you do all that you have to devise a system underneath to allow the wires to move in and out with the slide without stretching or getting caught.
Rubi is correct here but most laminated rv walls are only 1.5” to 2” thick
what do people do about states that have 28'6" trailer length restrictions?
I’ve never heard of states that have maximum restrictions like that… Are you referring to specific parks by chance?
@@JoshtheRVNerd not state parks, I just googled state trailer restrictions .
Looks like my old Jayco Eagle 321 RSTS
Pretty similar layout yeah
