Traded our Jayco Pinnacle for a Redwood 38 FL (Front Living)

When we were working in Georgia, I got to looking at new 5th Wheels that would better suit our
lifestyle now that we have been on the road almost 3 years.
We have pretty much figured out what we like to do and what works for us.
Since the 2015 RVs are now on the dealer lots there are some deals on the "Left over" 2014s.
So I started working on a couple of dealers that had a Redwood Front Living Floorplan we liked.
I did not know if I could get them to my number with a trade of our current Jayco Pinnacle.
Our Jayco has served us well but if I could put the right deal together, maybe we could trade.
After several days of beating on 2 dealers for the absolute best deal, we made a deal with Lazy Days in Tampa on a 2014 Redwood 38FL. ( I know I said I would not buy from a Mega Dealer like Lazy Days, I always liked the smaller dealers)


 
 
This is the floorplan of our new Redwood 38FL
The Bedroom is in the rear and the living area is in the front over the Hitch / Pinbox area

Fullbody paint is nice touch, two entry doors, one at the front of the main awning
and one at the rear of the main awning.

Rear Bedroom with King Bed


Wardrobe in the bedroom with TV

 
Front Living area with recliners at the front cap area,
note we removed them and put our theater seating
unit in, see picture of mod further down.

picking up our Redwood 5er
 
 
 
One of the first mods, put up some towel bars in the bath area.
 

 
This is a picture of our theater seating unit, we replaced the recliners
with this from our Jayco Pinnacle.
We bought the Lane unit from a furniture store a couple of
years ago and had it in our previous 5th Wheel and really like it, so we moved it to our
new 5th Wheel and put the recliners that came in the new 5th Wheel in our trade in unit.
 

 
So far so good with the new 5er, we are currently in Ft Myers FL working with / training a
new tech for the area. I did have to adjust the hitch height on the truck, found the 5er to
be a little high in the noise during the first trip from the dealership.
The trip down to Ft Myers was better with the hitch reset and finding the right
air pressure for the air ride hitch on the new 5th Wheel.

  1. The layout is about what we're looking at in a park model, if we ever go that route. I really like it. Full bath and bigger TV would suit us well. I'm so glad you found something a lot better.
