      IT'S GORGEOUS .
      BUT MY CONCERN WOULD BE PULLING IT DOWN THE ROAD WITH THE WIND DRAG.
      THAT IT WOULD HAVE WITH THE WAY THAT THE ROOF IS IN THE FRONT.

Honestly all this model needs is a better residential fridge and a dishwasher. I'm loving the adoption of workstation sinks.

    Hey JD, I hope that you're having a great day! I really love this new 2025 Forest River Wildwood Heritage Glen Roost43 fifth wheel destination trailer! I hope that they don't change anything on this unit. I would live in this full time! I kinda wish that the master bedroom had a full bathroom instead of a half bath. I do like that it's a bath and a half though an the master bedroom has its own bathroom. I'm glad that they put two electric fireplace space heaters in this unit. I like the living room setup,but I kinda wish there was a theater seat in with the sofa but I do like that style of sectional that they have in it. I do like that they give you a side by side washer and dryer in the full bathroom. Thank you JD for showing us and giving us the information on this Forest River Wildwood Heritage Glen Roost43 destination fifth wheel! Your number one fan and friend Leonard from North Carolina!

    Wow! Triple axel for 18780 GVWR? That could be considered to be overkill, however when you look at where the axels are in relation to the pin box, it's probably more for stability when stationary than for load bearing on the road. Love the concept, the queen in the modified loft is really cool, love the half bath off the master and the loft above the living is wonderful. That's a pretty small fresh water tank though for a destination type RV...I would have expected something nearer 100 gal. Wind drag would be a concern, but if it's meant to be a tow and drop type of RV, then potential wind drag is only an inconvenience while you're towing it to a location. Really nice concept, and I really like the out-of-the-box thinking by Forest River.

    Nice trailer. We used to call these park model trailers. Don’t know why some are complaining about fresh water tanks? You wouldn’t use it anyway. If you’re hooked up to water, the tank could be 10 gallons and it wouldn’t matter. Only thing I don’t like is the stupidest fireplace in the bedroom make storage instead of a fake fireplace that no one is going to use. These are going to sell. Also the comment about buy a mobile home instead doesn’t make any sense. People put these in resort parks where you buy the spot. You can’t have a mobile home on places like that. My parent lived in a Park model for 5 or so years in a park near Helen, GA. This thing is a lot bigger and nicer than theirs. These places have restrictions against certain types of toilets and other things you’d get in a mobile home. Also most of these type places have a maximum width and height you can put on them.

    Is it aluminum and foam construction, or wood?

More modern non-wood construction might help alleviate that

    Depending on location, if used as a single destination unit, why not purchase a single or doublewide manufactured home? Would probably be similar in price and twice the square foot. As said, this is not something you move often. Thus, one would want water, power, and sewer. I guess benefits over the manufactured home would not have to pull permits (depending on local ordnances). Will give the manufacturer the thumbs up for the new concept.
