What options do you have that you'll never do without again?
What options do you have that sounded good but that you hardly use?
As for me auto leveling is the greatest! I really like that option!!
Least thing is the grill in the outside kitchen. Now I like the kitchen for making my coffee and the small fridge but the grill will get little or no use.

A good friend originally ordered my 5er and I bought it from him in 13. He ordered it almost exactly like I would have... Tinted dual panes, bed slide/slide covers, Morryde, extra insulation and no outside shower. I would have deleted the scare lights and bedroom/bathroom curtain that never gets used. My friend added several nice things himself... solar, power monitor system, good stereo/speakers/DVDs player, expansion tank and 5th Airborne. Craig

"Campingโ€ went out the window with the purchase of a 6-figure rig"

YEP, Long progression from Tent Camping to Full Time living!

If I could choose I would go back to the 4 point Hydraulic leveling system on my 07.5 MS. Slap a pc of plywood under one side to level side to side unhook and level front to back. Simple solid and dependable.

Our paint job is called "cut and buff". All paint edge transitions are smooth to the touch.

"Next door last winter spent $15000.00 to paint their 2010 carriage fifth. It looked beautiful."

Only correction, remove "Heat Pump" and replace with CheapHeat!!!

To add to your list, Bosch 220V clothes washer, Whirlpool 220V Dryer, FischerPaykal Dishwasher and full size KitchenAid side by side refrigerator.


And you call this camping? LOL


Nope, itโ€™s called โ€œlivingโ€.

I like being able to bring my bike so the mororcycle lift is nice. I appreciate my disc brakes, but I don't think I would pay to install them on a trailer that didnt come with them.

Love the auto-level, and negotiated with the dealer to include slide toppers.
Would never have another without them!!

My 5th wheel came with an outside TV...it's never even been turned on.

It also came with the Sani-conยฎ Turbo waste system. Thought it was really cool, but after using it a couple times, not so much. Went back to just using the old hose.

Only wish I had the insulated windows. Although I would also pay extra for disk brakes.

Have used the oven maybe four times in 15 years... they can keep the next one.

Is it really worth the 10k additional cost?


When the rig is well north of 100k I feel it is.


Our camper sets in a shop probably ~90% of the year and we don't live in it so full body paint and some of the options listed here are not worth it to us.

Add another $4000.00 if it was a paint job on an older fifth.
