Sure, we went with a 40' New Horozon Majestic. The list of features is longhand I would be happy to go over them with you but for starters we have 3 Ac's, 2 furnaces, 16 gallon water tank, we opted for Corian countertops that we chose from Home Depot samples instead of granite, Maytag residential refer, staking Whirlpool washer dryer, king size bed, induction cooktop, single bowl kitchen sink, Mohawk hardwood floors everywhere including the slide floors, 3 8k axles with Moryde suspension, Goodyear H rated tires, vessel sink in bathroom, real travertine back splashes. Fireplace. The list g9es on but the real advantages I felt with NH was the frame, the insulation, the ability to really customize almost anything and the material used for the most part. I'd be happy to talk if you ever care to.

Sounds like an awesome RV, I need to check them out. I have looked at their website in the past as well as Spacecraft but only talked with Spacecraft.

Spacecraft builds custom trailer for the movie industry as well.

I know of one other that does the same, there must be more.

If money is no object I don't see anything in a 5th wheel pricier then the Anderson Mobile Estates. They start around 3 million. As to the X-Aire there well built as well.

Continental there are maybe 1 or 2 for sale online and wow are they nice. I thought my Teton was heavy those continental empty out weigh mine by about 3 tons empty. I weight 20,185 empty per Teton sticker on the cabinet door. The Continental a much more hefty 26,100 empty.

I never said money wasn’t a factor. I am just trying to get a good four season toy hauler RV that I can haul my Jeep or S x S in, have a few of the amenities that I have in my class a, and get some extended use out of.

I’ve checked with Spacecraft before and they were very nice folks. The trailer they gave me a rough quote on was approximately $250,000 plus I would need a road tractor to tow it. Still looking, thanks.

put a medium length bed on the tractor. and put the jeep on the back of the tractor. then hitch up the 5ver. they make a few different ways to load it

Spacecraft builds one of the strongest / heviest trailers there is.

Check the link. ITB builds something different and has a branch in WA.
