Me and the wife have been looking at an RV to live in full time. We went and looked at this floorplan today and we immediately loved it. She found this video and the things you have pointed out just solidified our decision that this is the floorplan we want! Thank you for doing what you do!
What’s up bro! The colors, size, amenities, and layout is great on this one. If you can hold out for a little they are hott and I don’t see too many dealers trying to negotiate. Just look at the forest river Heritage Glenn/Hemisphere by Salem who had this Floorplan before Keystone which will give you some negotiating room in case they try to play hard ball.
Yeah I agree. They are hot. The dealer we went to today had a sale price of $62k. The only thing I worry about with the Salem/Wildwood is build quality. The cheaper price comes at a cost. Looking through them there are just some build quality issues that kind of worry me. Maybe I’m an over thinker? The Montana just felt more solid to me and with three little destructive boys I feel we need the sturdier built feeling. Lol
Yea I don’t disagree as I’ve seen some flaws from FR but it’s a good way to try to get the price down. $62 is a fair price and you’re getting a good Floorplan for sure.
Can you imagine if they ever did this with a second bedroom? Would be my dream RV for sure! Hate the loft. Such a waste for adults. Looking for a second room to play games and visit.
Bro we have a 2018 mallard just like Mikey and ours came with the built in vacuum.. I got to tell you it’s a life saver in the rv especially when you have little ones
Great review! I like how it is very through but also trimmed to the point. We are going full time and put a deposit on this model. We pick it up in a few weeks. I have done a ton of research and this model seem to fit us the best. It's going to be an adventure!
@@Hayesskaggs I have a deposit down on the 367FL and have the same queries about the AC in bedroom as well as the low point at rear scraping. Floor plan was to good to give up.
I was looking at this RV and am looking at getting one. Your review rocks! you point out things that I didn't remember or missed. Like the spare tire. Great Video! Great review! Thank you
Great review!!! I don't have use for a heavy duty truck, I don't RV and I really don't have much in common with you, nonetheless I find myself enjoying your videos...keep up the good work!!! BTW, is that a pink camera you have? Min 15:53 mirror reflection.
Wow that would be nice! They do not but may not be a bad idea to write Keystone to see if they have any plans to see if that would work... thanks for sharing 👍🏾
Great floor plan. Love the front living room. Not a fan of that bathroom door. I understand why that door was installed though. I also like the stair down into the bedroom and all the head through out the 5th wheel. Also know why you're not a fan of the low point at the rear to the coach but because of having to step down into the bedroom that is why it is low on the rear. Thanks much to Mrs. JB and you JB for the review.
Yea that drop frame comes in handy for the bedroom for sure! I was told by someone that they scraped on a different model and this one seems to have the same clearance as another floor plan. Thanks Ric!
Very nice floor plan and great video. Really enjoy what you’re doing and putting out there! Just as a side note and a cheat for future use; in the Montana series if the floor plan is odd numbered it has the residential fridge. If it’s an even numbered floor plan is has a gas/electric RV fridge. Thus that’s the only difference in the 377 and the 376.
It really is and thanks for the heads up! This Floorplan will definitely be on the list when we go looking for a fifth wheel in the future. Only issue is I think my son/daughter may not want to share a space as they get older...
Yeah I can understand that. Maybe as they get older and they don’t go as much it could be a nice hybrid between being an empty nester rig and having your kids with you. And also as they get older one could take the loft and one could take a couch.
We looked at this model recently at an RV show and loved the originality of it! But you're right about the weights... I would go with a dually to pull this monster! Also just for added stability with how tall it is. Keep up the good reviews!
Yea we recently had an RV Show in Timonium, MD and they sold a couple of theses floor plans there. I think a lower trim SRW will do the job but that dually would take a lot of pressure off. Thanks!
Hi JB. Just saw your video. My wife and I are looking into purchasing the 2021 376FL model but we have one question for you. In your expertise, will our Chevrolet Silverado 3500HD Crew Cab LTZ 4X4 Duramax Diesel Long Bed be able to pull this rig without any issues? Thanks, -Josh
14958 GVW (assumption) X 20% transferred to truck 2994lb - pin weight transferred to truck After you take off pin weight you have 677#’s left over for passengers/gear (hitch could be 250#’s by itself) but keep in mind that if you add a generator up front, that could transfer additional weight to the truck. It would be close but I would consider a dually for this trailer or a truck that has at least 4000#’s of payload 👍🏾 You should be fine but it wi
Thanks! If this fifth wheel was available around the time I was in the market, I would have made a bad financial decision lol! This really is one of the nicest bunk floor plans if seen in awhile.
Hey jb Random request, sorry it’s a little off topic. Could you do a towing and empty test of the same HD truck. Ram or ford. Same motor and build But with different axle ratios. Like 3.73 vs 4.10 “ram” or 3.55 vs 4.30 “ford” I’ve heard the differences most of my life but I’ve never seen them compared side by side same day. Mpg, speed towing, 0-60 or on-ramp speed. I’m also curious which it makes more difference, ram 6speed or fords new 10speed. If you do that you would be the only one on TH-cam I’ve seen. If it’s possible it would be much appreciated
Hey Dennis this is a really good idea and I would be interested in trying it out! Give me some time to see which dealer has the trucks available and I will try it out. Unfortunately it may be harder for me to do Ford truck videos...
JB Reviews now problem, I’m more interested in the ram personally anyway. Perhaps you could find one thats the same build as your truck but with a 4.10. “I think yours is the 3.73 right?” Would make it easier. That and/or maybe test the 6.4 like that as well.
Thank You! I invested in a tape measure so moving forward, I will start measuring these things. Loft was definitely taller than average for sure but not sure on bed, Sorry 👍🏾
M Adams jeez... how much did it cost to fix and was it the same slides? It’s like the manufactures want things to fail because rack/pinion seem to work flawlessly... 🤦♂️
First time was a month after factory warranty expired. We had an extended warranty through Good Sam club that we were able to use to cover some of the repairs. Had to have a RV dealership send a tech out to us. The slide was out. He replaced the cable to enable us to get home. After we got home from vacation I had to take it back to the dealership that repaired it for them to make all needed repairs. They replaced another cable and added reinforcement at one of the top rollers. Took several months to get it back. RV repair shops are notoriously slow. Luckily Heartland covered some of the repairs out of courtesy. About a year later did it again. All out of my pocket the last time.
Sadly my Keystone Cougar is a step down from the HC and I have it. I don’t know much about the hydraulic leveling but I do remember looking at a new Silverback and the fluid was leaking inside the compartment area but it has its pros!
Great review! I love the colors inside! The one thing about Montana's is that the odd numbered ones come with a residential refrigerator and the even numbers don't.
Off topic - I heard you say you are using both city a water and also the fresh water tank...can you elaborate on that statement. I use either city water when in an RV Park or fresh water tank when in a State Park...not both. Also what RV Park are you in as I thought they all closed in the winter. Thanks
Hey Jeffrey I am planning to do a video within a week or so to explain why I use both. Long story short is in the winter time I prefer to have my fresh water filled just in case I have issues with freezing. In the warmer months I will just use city connection. I’m not staying in a campground technically it’s more of a fulltime spot in MD.
Really how so? Front living fifth wheels are better suited for boom docking because if you want a great video of the outside, you can position for that. Thanks for watching!
Ooh ya I love this floorplan with the loft !! And another 5th wheel u guys should look at is the Chapperelle 3bedroom I would love ur take on that one too
Dayum that’s pimping. I will say that probably my favorite part is the living room on the front cap. The loft is nice to. The height is at 13’4” which may cause some issues with rail bridges or smaller bridges overall in some smaller towns. Great video brother
Montanas are nice, even the High Country. But I tap out on any RV when I see those cable slides. Cheap cheap cheap....very disappointing when a builder employs cable slides. Next!!
Video starts: "This is a front living floor plan. Why does it say bunk?"
14 minutes in: "Holy crap! That bunk room/loft is awesome!"
😂😂😂! Me too I was in awe when I first saw this plan on the Salem Hemisphere brand 👍🏾
I just bought the 2022 377FL. It's phenomenal!
Congrats!!!

Did you end up purchasing this?
Have yall seen the 382 Avalanche
Have a hugh master bath in the master bedroom and has the front living room and that feeling of separation.
I wish someone close carried the Avalanche but I will be sure to check it out on the site, thanks 🙏🏽
great job on this walk through. we can tell how much you love the unit
Thanks!
Can you imagine if they ever did this with a second bedroom? Would be my dream RV for sure! Hate the loft. Such a waste for adults. Looking for a second room to play games and visit.
That would be nice 👍🏾
Bro we have a 2018 mallard just like Mikey and ours came with the built in vacuum.. I got to tell you it’s a life saver in the rv especially when you have little ones
I wish we had one because we have a small vacuum that still gets in the way.... I want that on the next RV we get, thanks for sharing!
Congrats brah! On your Mallard Mansion. Enjoy every bit of it! Happy Camping!
Great review! I like how it is very through but also trimmed to the point.
We are going full time and put a deposit on this model. We pick it up in a few weeks. I have done a ton of research and this model seem to fit us the best. It's going to be an adventure!
Congrats! If we didn’t own ours, I would have bought this one too.
Kyle- did you end up purchasing this? If so I have a few questions for you!
@@Hayesskaggs Yes we did and we love it!
@@generalsaruss how are the a/c's- specifically in the bedroom?
@@Hayesskaggs I have a deposit down on the 367FL and have the same queries about the AC in bedroom as well as the low point at rear scraping. Floor plan was to good to give up.

Thanks for supporting the channel! It’s my Rode mic but the color is red 👍🏾
Do they have this floor plan but a front kitchen instead of living room. If those were swapped I would LOVE this!!!
Wow that would be nice! They do not but may not be a bad idea to write Keystone to see if they have any plans to see if that would work... thanks for sharing 👍🏾

Hey Josue, what’s your payload on your yellow sticker and how many passengers will be inside the truck?
@@JB_WhoWork It will be 4 passengers (me, my wife, and two small kids, 1yr.&3yr.). When you mentioned payload, for the truck or rig?
Sorry, for the truck
3,671 lbs
14958 GVW (assumption)
X 20% transferred to truck
2994lb - pin weight transferred to truck
After you take off pin weight you have 677#’s left over for passengers/gear (hitch could be 250#’s by itself) but keep in mind that if you add a generator up front, that could transfer additional weight to the truck.

Mike Hunt thanks for the recommendation and my truck is a 3.73!
Love when y’all team up and we get both perspectives. I’d definitely get a dually to haul that bad boy.
Thanks! I almost did it by myself because of scheduling but I really wanted her to help with this one.
Yea this is a big boy for sure!
Excellent review and cool floor plan.
Thanks!
Thanks for this video! Do you know how high the bunk/loft is? It looks about 3 feet to me. Also, is this a full-size King bed, or an RV (short) King?
Thank You! I invested in a tape measure so moving forward, I will start measuring these things. Loft was definitely taller than average for sure but not sure on bed, Sorry 👍🏾
Could you pull this with a Dodge Ram 3500 diesel single rear wheel truck? Or would a dually be better
You can but you will have to choose a lower trim and skip the HO Cummins to be on the safe side for payload.
FL all the way..about to trade my 22 5th wheel for a FL UNIT
Great review, I don't like the cable driven slides.
Thanks bro! I’m hoping because I’m seeing them more frequently, they are less susceptible to having problems.
I have the cable system on my Heartland. Cables have broken 3 times. Never again.
M Adams jeez... how much did it cost to fix and was it the same slides?
It’s like the manufactures want things to fail because rack/pinion seem to work flawlessly... 🤦♂️
@@madams8927 sorry to hear that, that must be a pain, how long did you have your Heartland before it happened??

High Country is a step down from a regular Montana where you get the in command and hydraulic leveling.
Sadly my Keystone Cougar is a step down from the HC and I have it. I don’t know much about the hydraulic leveling but I do remember looking at a new Silverback and the fluid was leaking inside the compartment area but it has its pros!
JB Reviews yes sir. As in any rig out there. That is a beautiful rig though. You’re are right about that back end being low.
Great review! I love the colors inside! The one thing about Montana's is that the odd numbered ones come with a residential refrigerator and the even numbers don't.
Thanks Randall! I noticed that too... I was looking at the floor plans and didn’t notice anything else besides that.

@@JB_WhoWork I just don't like the layout. I have been in a few amd they are nice, but I like the traditional lay out.
Great review!!
Thanks!
You can get the handrail for those steps on amazon. $40.
Thanks for this!
Ooh ya I love this floorplan with the loft !! And another 5th wheel u guys should look at is the Chapperelle 3bedroom I would love ur take on that one too
Would be concerned how low the rear of that trailer is, would not be able to get in and out of some shopping centers
Nice rig but you should look at the Grand Design Reflection I own one I do not sell them or anything just comparing the two.
Yes, I’ve done a couple of videos on the smaller fifth wheels from Grand Design.
Thanks
Beautiful 5th! Looks really good behind my PW 😂😂😂
Dayum that’s pimping. I will say that probably my favorite part is the living room on the front cap. The loft is nice to. The height is at 13’4” which may cause some issues with rail bridges or smaller bridges overall in some smaller towns. Great video brother
Lol it really is 😂 If only I could do an even trade 🤔... Yea this is a giant because not only is it tall, it’s wide too. Thanks for sharing bro👍🏾
Montanas are nice, even the High Country. But I tap out on any RV when I see those cable slides. Cheap cheap cheap....very disappointing when a builder employs cable slides. Next!!
Yea I’m not a fan either and every slide has them... so dumb!!!
No painting needed ;).
😂😂😂 how right you are! If I could do an even trade I would!
