A big shout out to the Alliance RV group on Facebook at bit.ly/3wNUlnz for recommending this RV! I like the way Alliance always finds a little way to do things slightly differently. The repositioning of the half-bath on this model definitely helps make it feel like you don't have a toilet IN the kitchen!

That blank kitchen space is perfect for them people that like to crap up their campers, they can put one of their stupid Live Laugh Love kinda stickers. 😂
Hahahaha
YES! Only 1 sink in the master! Finally! Smart!
This is a great retirement unit. Saw it at a show awhile back and this was my favorite
The AC lay out is genius! I wish my Alpine was like that! 2 ACs on a track system sucks!
The mystery pocket in the bedroom by the bed may be a good place for a small space heater on those cold nights since there is no electric fireplace in the bedrood
If I was going to full time this would be a great unit. But not at my pointing life yet.
Ok uncle Josh, it is quite nice. However I really am holding out for the flrb Jaco North point. Nice to see you showing a bigger rig. Well nice to see you as always. Thanks 😊
FLRB is still my favorite front living
Nice 5th wheel. The half bath is great where it’s at. Thanks for sharing Josh👍👍
Bathroom is great so guest have it where it’s easy to get to. Well layer out rv
A question/concern popped in my head the other day and i figured i would wait till it was relevant to a vid or close. i get the double Axdel walls and enclosed under belly , tank heaters, 4 season "rating" . what i dont get is they have all this insulating stuff then have a bunch of windows that have the R value of 2. which lets all your heat/AC out.. i understand some people dont care and want the windows. some may be in an area that has really nice weather so open windows is fine. i know you just show case them and you are not the builder. i think a good point in future vids where it is applicable is to mention the R value of the windows on the RVs that claim "4 seasons" or 0 degree rated temps. i know in these times it maybe hard to get better windows as stated in a previous vid. But i feel some Brands maybe trying to pull a fast one. or rather not informing buyers of certain features negated by others. just my thoughts. good vid
Those tests measure consistent temps over time but the windows are a major heat lost point. Pulling the shades down actually helps a lot
More windows is more of a problem in that regard though. I think that’s one of the ways older RVs Health temperature seemingly more easily. They had fewer and smaller windows
If an RV is “0-100” rated I think it should at least have R2 double pane windows to help with condensation but in general there is virtually no insulating value in any window☹️
@JoshtheRVNerd Is it possible to order a unit from the factory without the side windows in the slideouts?
I really like the half bath being right next to the entry door. Speaking as an older person now into my 70s, when I need to go, it's ALWAYS urgent. (Part of that would be the water pills for my high blood pressure medications !) I like the contrasting color scheme. I hate same color throughout. Really, really love the kitchen. I still enjoy cooking and baking. That rear storage with the slide is amazing!
What coloring would you like to see? And where would you break it up?
@@JoshtheRVNerd I wish there was some way to use differing colors in the living room. Brown on brown or brown on black or gray shades.. yuk! Boring! Throw pillows and blankets are nice but just camouflage! I like the contrasting colors & stitching used in some travel trailers on the dinette & sofa cushions. Light & dark that you can change up. I'm not saying bring back plaids! Maybe it can be offered as a limited option from the factory? Also, no more glass fronts in o/h cabinets. Eventually it will break. Then your stuff goes everywhere along with glass shards. Just saying)
Great camper! I like how it is different. They do some really cool things here. That little bedroom pocket, might be perfect for much needed "ammendment supplies". Tyfs!
In the living room the floor vent location is a 👎the rest of fifth wheel is 👍👍👍👍 Josh 👏👏👏👏for another great video. The owner can easily put a bumper on that outside storage door. Needs a roof full of solar panels
Thx again James. Appreciate all your visits! :)
This is my top wish list item. Love the outside storage and 1/2. That it’s a paradigm is the icing on the cake
☺ TY for watching!
So tired of all those shades of brown, especially the grayish tones that just look like mud! Yuck! Much prefer white. And hopefully woodwork can be painted easily so an owner can add some color if desired. Which I definitely would!!
You will love their Avenue series
Nice sharp white interior
Agreed, I am big fan of the modern farmhouse look, it's bright and feels open and comfy.
@CharlesPlay Haylett RV joined Bish's RV. I still call the same store home. Here's a video with far more info about the changeover bit.ly/3pByKed
This was one of our finalist at the Tampa Show back in Jan. Ended up going with the GD Solitude 390RK-R. Great info as always Josh!!
That’s such a good model congratulations! Jayco finally just got their version of that out and I can’t wait for people to see it
Love the layout, love the build quality, very smart and imaginative design touches… the one thing I’d change, way too much brown.
What kind of the car would you prefer to see?
@@JoshtheRVNerd thank you for asking, that’s very kind. If they broke up the brown with more of the creamy colored cabinets it would brighten it up. I realize that RV manufacturers use a lot of brown because it’s neutral, universal, and people like it but personally I’d like to see more honey tones. The current color seems muddy and flat, tho perhaps that may have been the lighting. When you would showcase an area, say the living room, because everything is in the same color and tone, the furniture, widow dressing, flooring, cabinets, it tends to look flat and your eye doesn’t settle on any of the wonderful details. It’s not so much that they used browns, I just feel the space would be warmer and more inviting if they brightened, lightened and varied the tones. That being said, it’s a gorgeous and beautifully built RV. The quality is immediately evident and the manufacturer and their employees should be very proud of the product they put out. Again, thanks for asking Josh, your videos are the highlight of my evenings!
Looks pretty close to perfect with the more luxurious brown decor when compared to the cheaper looking farmhouse decor, a REAL bathroom fan and a LADDER👍👍👍
My kind of RV. Wouldn't be too welcome at some camping events my wife goes to... "Popups and smaller only". So that's fine with me as I'd sit in the A/C luxury while the girls rough it. Perfect.
I am really liking these units
Their customer service is really what's won me over. They're not necessarily built better/worse than anything else. They just step up and take care of people like no one else
Bathrooms in the kitchen!
LOL Loved that D & D reference!
#thac0
I really like this unit, the storage slides under the rear, generator prep up front and solar options are all plus-plus. The only thing I would look into is the CPAP setup could be a bit better. Could that hole up high be used for that, maybe. But the best place is next to the bed and that should be improved.
TY Mike -- appreciate the bedside feedback there
Beautiful 5th wheel. I will be putting this on my list! Love the interior and the colors. Maybe if the propane doors opened the other way?
That's a great idea!
Loving it
ok this one is absolutely perfect with a few optional changes. oh and yeah a shade for the door. but this is my most favorite of all. I sure would like this parked somewhere off grid...or atleast away from people.
What changes would you make??
@@JoshtheRVNerdAdd a small dishwasher and add in a tub. I gotta have a tub.
That would be a dream unit for my wife and I. Perfect!
We're here when you're ready to make those dreams come true
Until then TY for joining me here and enjoy the show :)
Wow. That's a great full time rig for snowbirds or leaving at a permanent spot but could go with you to explore the country just as well. Impressive price too for an extended season rig.
Yes 🙌🏻
She's a big beautiful front living room 5th wheel. Love the interior but I'm not a fan of those campside slideouts. They really eat into the camp under the awning space. And for some odd reason it always seems to rain when we go camping so we always find ourselves sitting under the awning.
Love it. The only thing different is that it should be in my driveway!
We have people for that ;)
2022 Alliance Paradigm 385FL Front Living Fifth Wheel RV nice floorplan that checks many boxes ! Slainte' ! Cheers !
TY for joining us today :)
This is a nice rig it does need power on or in the island so you can plug in a mixer on the great prep area instead of having a cord that cuts off walkways.
Great idea
Your moonshiner cousins would have filled up the fresh water tank with some shine. This would be a great destination trailer.
Lol possibly!
Very nice Alliance 5th wheel! 😊😊👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Pretty nice unit.just wish they will squeeze outside kitchen like flurb north point did....👌
That would be cool
Hi Josh! Love your videos! I don’t know if any other Paradigm owner has let you know this by now, but our microwave is not convection. I know you like to be accurate. It’s a great microwave and it looks like it should be convection because it has a shelf, but it’s not. With this amazing oven, though, we don’t need that. ☺️ Keep up the good work. Love your nerdisms!
...hmm... how did I mix that up? Thank you so much! I really appreciate this. You are the first to mention it actually!
You are so welcome! Thank you for being so excited about Alliance. I am a very satisfied 310RL owner living in it full time, and love everything about this manufacturer. ☺️
I want a desk - so for me, front-living RVs are out because they're never flush-floor slides in the front living area. Might be able to fit a desk there, but good luck using the chair with it.
I'd love to see the entertainment center be placed in the 'road side' slide and have a desk space in the nose (complete with windshield). This would allow for free chair movement/use AND my terminal need to see what's going on around me! :)
WOW! I'm super impressed you understand why they cannot have a desk in that front area -- it's a request I get with great frequency!
Choose one brown and then contrast with ecru/cream color. No white.
Get the TV swivel and get storage behind it. Even if it is just for a few DVDs or game stuff.
That hole is too far from bed for cpap. Need to find something else to store there.
I wish they had an option to turn that half-bath into a closet or added pantry space. I'm sure some folks love it, but I would prefer the extra storage or added bedroom space...
Montana offers that on their front living! They call it their "BP" model -- butler pantry
RE: the 'mini loft' in the bedroom - could that be for a Cadet heater?? Another great video!
Love the FL 5ers!!! This one is great! Saw it on RVTravel today.I wish that the master bath was "flipped" so the w/d was on the camp side...sorta/maybe balance the weight since the fridge/kitchen is already on the road side. Other than that, great rear bathroom!!! Also, would have liked more CCC...Fresh tank, adding a 'ton' of solar, etc., is gonna eat up a lot of the CCC. Nice that it's warrantied for FT.
Overall, a great rig but I'd still lean toward an ATC Fiver....their industrial look is fine by me! Thanks for the review!
First, here's some updated footage on this model: bit.ly/3q4wUSw
Secondly, here's a similar front living with the flip you mentioned: bit.ly/3qwF8Ew
Power recliners - take my money now!
K. 😂
Operators ARE standing by after all 😉
Just wanted to say u r awesome Paul from Ontario wish you where here if could I would buy from you
Paul.. thank you buddy :)
not sure alliance owners are eating Mac and cheese.. just a guess at those prices.. or maybe now they are after buying one...🤔
Hahaha
I mean who doesn’t like Mac and cheese?
Very noice!
ALMOST read that in a Borat voice
Hi Josh, this is an ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL rig.
Thank you for sharing.
I have a question for you. We watched the video you did about using slides while they are in. Is it possible for you to state, with out slamming the rig you are showing in your videos, the way they should be used while they are in the travel position? This was a very good point you shared.
Thank you for your time.
Keep the videos coming.
It's actually not possible to offer clear advisory on that. It's not something any MFG or slide provides tests for so there's no factory-supplied backing that can be offered.
It is always a case of "use smart judgement and do so at your own risk"
Woah, rare RV Nerd triptych at 5:00 🤯🤣
Remind me that old double vision song… Only… You know… Triple
Back in the day, that cubby in the bedroom would be for the 9” ac/dc tv
Hahaha you’re not wrong! And man that was GOOD living
🤯🤩
Go white for interior and turn 1/2 bath to pantry. It’s still a toilet in the kitchen.
Ty Annie
Yeah, that half bath is still in the kitchen.
14:31 the light 2nd from left, is that a directional light or is it coming out of it's housing a little bit?
15:20 In the brochure, those are floor to ceiling shelves. I wonder why your unit only had the top shelf?
cabinet doors using galvanized crimps, as 90° joint fasteners, looks like a bush-fix to address question cabinet door construction issues. is due to extreme forces/ movement (it is big rig) as a whole, or is the company struggling with cabinet suppliers? door i saw was for small wardrobe is master bath
That nook in the bedroom IS kinda weird. I do think a CPAP use would be awkward. But then I thought it might be a good place for a Google Home display maybe? You'd have to angle it somehow for proper viewing. But it's what we use for our bedroom alarm clock these days. So ... yeah ... weird, but not necessarily a waste. This would definitely work in my "full-time, work from the road" dream.
I could see that being a good spot for my wireless phone charger actually..
This is a great unit but with one MAJOR exception. The sewer is under the slide. I didn’t see the dump valves, but if they are under that slide this would be a disaster for seniors! You would have to crawl under the slide to empty the tanks. Especially if you were camping in one location for an extended period of time. Would be great if it had electric dump valves. Otherwise a near perfect fifth wheel.
I believe the pulls for the valves are in the docking station (common for many FWs). So if you were setup with full time sewer, then you could hook up before opening slides
But I'm operating from a bit of memory here and frankly Terry I may be mistaken. I see so many RVs little details like that get blurry at times
@@JoshtheRVNerd I went back and watched the video and there are no dump handles in the water bay. I have no idea where they are. Hmmm Interesting
Was there electricity plugs on the kitchen island?
No
We were excited when this Floorplan hit the market. Especially the basement door in the rear. However, once we did a physical walk through I was less than impressed with the quality of the woodwork. We stayed with our original Riverstone choice instead. This is only my opinion and I understand that everyone has differing opinions or there wouldn't be so many choices.
Riverstone is a cut above kind of brand. Hard to compare a lot of things to it once you've been in one for a while.
Just wondering how noisy the air-conditioning is compared to a ducted system
🇺🇸 🇺🇸 🇺🇸 *LOVE this BIG front living room* !! *ALWAYS like a bath AND a half* !! *Beautiful fifth wheel* !! *Not very familiar with Alliance but would like to learn* !! #JoshTheRVNerdAtBishsRV
It's a relatively new company. I'd recommend getting on their Facebook page with the owners and read the reviews. Sounds like they have very good customer support which is huge with RVs.
Mike’s not just saying that. Their customer support is fantastic
Go on the Alliance factory tour. We did!
Not a fan of front living room fifth wheels. Nice set up for a permanent site though.
That’s how I pictured myself using it as well - as something like a seasonal/destination model
Nice, so this is dually territory 5th wheel?
That would be a solid recommendation yes. The size/length/hitch weight from the dual slides up front would benefit nicely form a dually
I don't mean to be blunt about things but I want the extra bathroom for when I'm in hurry need to go as I'm walking in and need to rush to the bathroom and it looks like it's next to the door as walking in and need to go type a situation
When you gotta go
You gotta go!
1)Please option a white/farmhouse feel inside. The brown is just so dated. 2) Please change up the dinning room table options. I'd like to see more of a table with chairs that face the windows. 3) Why not a television on a "televator" with a window behind it. 4) Include a fireplace in the bedroom. 5) Have a walk-in pantry instead of the 1/2 bath. On the other side, this is a very good company and backs their customers. Certainly a top 3 that we are looking at...Jayco Pinnacle and Van Leigh Vilano/Beacon are the other two. But we hear great things about the customer service from Alliance.
Ty for all of this! Their Avenue has a beautiful white interior I like that may look great in here..
Join alliance’s Facebook group. They own up to their mistakes and really bend over backwards to assist their owners
I'd venture the reason for the half-bath is that the full bath is on the other side of the master suite... when you're guests have explosive diarrhea at 2am from the undercooked fish, it's nice they have their own toilet to visit instead of having to bust in on the wife and I gettin' busy ... just sayin' ... I think a half bath is a requirement any time the main bath is on the other side of the master!
I apologize for posting this here as I've been unable to find answers.
I am researching doing RV sales as a career change and wanted to know if you have the monthly historical %'s so that I can learn about the seasonality variation in cold weather climates versus warm weather climates? If the job is primarily or totally commission, I don't want to feast in the Spring / early Summer and experience famine in the Fall and Winter!
For example in another industry, when I owned a health club, January, due to New Year's Resolutions, would result in a 50% increase in membership sales (~ 13% of annual sales versus ~ 8% average month) and July would be the worst @ 5%).
I've read that the lowest months are typically December and January and the highest months are and I'm guessing here, are April or May?
Thanks for your insight!
First of all no apologies needed! That's a metric I also would be curious to see but I unfortunately have no data myself I can offer
Dec is most definitely the slowest month for sales volume
Highest volume months in my experience tend to be june/july though that may be slanted by my Michigan-based experience and the seasons we get here
I could see some areas like Florida reporting different results
@@JoshtheRVNerd Interesting that sales would peak in June / July and not April / May to take advantage of late Spring / early Summer weather. So in a true 4-season climate like yours in Michigan, for every 10 sales made @ peak in Summer, what would you guess that figure drops to in Winter?
They could of made the cabinet bigger in the master bath.
Forget the mouthy nephew, can we lock Cousin Ricky in that laundry closet so the pantry and fridge can stay full for more than an hour?
I don't want him dirtying my dirty laundry like that!
Josh, did you notice the black drain -dango spillage, on your walk around? or was that the antifreeze dumped directly on the pavement? ok, it was funny to me...
I would get rid of the island sink thing.
Only thing I would change is the name on the title from Bish's to Jimbo's
I bet if you paid the big man enough he’s consider it lololol
3:09 I don't understand what you mean. Some of the legs in the slide and some on the floor? I think I missed something??
I’m demonstrating how they using for flush slides here. The bonus guest chair had two legs on the main RV floor and two legs on the slide out floor yet didn’t sit at a funky angle or anything uncomfortable
Don’t like the floor vents They could have done more with the half bath.. I think should have put medicine cabinet and another one over the toilet
what do they do jn 36 ft
Try this one m.ruclips.net/video/jo7B4j2359Y/видео.html
I'm curious. Do you survey your customers to understand what percentage are CPAP users?
I have not. May I ask what inspired the question?
@@JoshtheRVNerd You touch on it in a significant number of your videos. I was wondering if there is some segmentation you've done that shows this is a significant portion of the market. No biggie. I was just curious.
1/2 Ton towable, right?
LOL
Yeah you just have to hook up a team of them like draft horses
Remove half bath and replace it with washer and dryer
I could see that!
Wish you were close to me
Where are you located mark? We're expanding currently and may have a location closer to you! See here for all stores bit.ly/3O7ZEEp
@@JoshtheRVNerd Arkansas :(
@@markwells2710 I need to verify but I believe we're about to start doing business in Texas... that might be a LOT closer for you
@@JoshtheRVNerd cool
Funny pocket would be where my laptop would live when not in use. Separately, I really don’t understand the master bath. Swap the toilet and W/D locations and give us a water closet. Also, the medicine cabinet/mirror size is laughable. Do a back wall of full mirror and toss the wimpy cabinet.
Alliance- You’re a smart, semi-premium product. Lose the Westlake tires for Pete’s sake. 🤦
What would you prefer to see? Goodyear? Cooper?
@@JoshtheRVNerd yes and yes or Sailun. There seemingly too good of a RV manufacturer to do so much, so well and then cheap out where the rubber meets the road.
Being a happy Northpoint owner this is just my unsolicited opinion. 😉
@@brentnelson1270 lol
Now if you’ll excuse me I need to take a long sip of this glass of tea
That’s a lonnnng sewer pipe. Hopefully no surprises when the cap is removed😮
That’s where these come in m.ruclips.net/video/TNvDBriBXhA/видео.html
@@JoshtheRVNerd Thanks for the tip!
I don't member what it was called (model #) I think I saw 2 diff videos on diff channels of prototypes of same model of Alliance 2 master sweet and 2 full bathroom and the 1st protyoe was beautiful the wall colors the blue the decor in the 2nd bath overall all of it was just BEAUTIFULY DONE THEN THEY REDID THE PROTYPe and messed it all up .. if you talk to alliance reps tell them go back to the original they did it right the 1st time and completely messed up the appreance by messing with it and should not produce them like that, it looks like 2 totally different people did inside and the 1st time was the right time lol
I'll share this with them. TY
That interior is boooorrrriiinnnngggg
What would you prefer to see??
@@JoshtheRVNerd like some other have said colors. This decor has no personallity at all. It feels stale and from the early 200's. Just my opinion. The layout is ok, but probably would pass on theis because of the interior. I'm like you Josh it's the small details in the trim & this has no little details to me
I don’t really like the interior color scheme….. if I could add a second dislike, it’s that there isn’t an outdoor kitchen like in the jayco northpoint 382fl
Ty.
They updated the decor by the way. I have a 2023 update on this
when sitting on the toilet with phone above your head, the two tone blue shirt makes it look like you grew big moobs. lolololol
I think it’s a toilet in the kitchen 🤮
Fair enough. TY! I was curious since I hadn't seen one quite like this before
