New 5th Wheel maiden voyage

Post by BigAl52 » Tue Sep 21, 2021 7:14 pm

We took delivery of the new fifth wheel in June so before we go to Texas in November we needed to get out and check her out. So far no issues and everything is going smoothly. Its a Cedar Creek 371FL for those that want to Google it to see the floor plan. Both the wife and I really like this floor plan. We came down to one of our favorite areas of Colorado. Its fall colors time and I took a few pictures while on my walk today. We are in Creede again and this area is really attracting alot of RVers. Its ATV crazy here and you can ride them in town and all over the mountains. Here is some pictures and I will get a couple of the RV also. Its a little bigger than a teardrop.

Don't worry about getting older and still doing stupid stuff. You'll do the stupid stuff as always, only much slower. Hold my beer and watch this.......

Way to go Big Al. Nice area. I was on Tarryall creek today. Enjoying a Colorado vacation. I really miss the mountains. Enjoy your new home. Looks like you got it in hand.

Good looking 5th wheel there Al. Makes for a comfortable trip. You're not to far from Pagosa Springs, an old haunt of mine. Nice area.

This model is about 1000K heavier than the last one we had. I have a 2006 Dodge 3500 dually It has been babied all the time I have owned it which is over 10 years. Ive put 10% overstock injectors in it along with an exhaust brake. I also use nothing but Amsoil Synthetic oil in the engine gear boxes and transmission. As you know tow vehicles have changed alot since 2006. I have about 350 hp and 700 ft lbs of torque. The new ones have 1000 ft lbs of torque and about 400hp. It pulls very well and the only real difference I can tell are on the long grades like we get in Colorado. The rolling hills it does fine. Im not fast anyway 60 to 62 MPH is were I stay. As with the last one the hitch on this one has an air ride pin box. That is worth its weight in gold as far as I am concerned. I would not have another 5th wheel without it.

Sir Henry: Living in this is very nice. My up stairs is the living room. The center is the kitchen. The rear is the bedroom and bathroom. Probably the biggest bathroom I have seen in an RV. The shower is like you would see in a house. When I sit in the living room I have more windows than I have in my house at home. There is 2 slides that make up the living room that give it a wide open feeling. In the nose is a picture window. I have included a shot below out that window. Its something I think is very cool. These new RVs are also all electronic. The switches for the lights are all bluetooth to a main console. They also have dimmers in them. And of course they are all led. There isnt a regular light bulb in the place. So far all systems are functioning perfect. I could not be happier. Our Refrigerator doors have a couple of dents in them. Im not sure how they got there but Cedar Creek is replacing the doors for nothing. The dents are hard to see and you need to be just at the right angle. Probably why they were not spotted upon delivery. There is also a half bath off the kitchen so you are not going thru a bedroom to use the toilet. This RV will be a true joy to be in for 4 months this year in Texas.

I believe if you are near Creede Colorado camping that would be the Rio Rrande River.
