Really nice looking rig. Not familiar with that brand. Weights? What options did you get?

Hope the basketball hoop was gone before you put the slide out!

Lifestyle is the company that was started by Carriage personnel after Carriage went under. The fiver is basically an upgraded Cameo with improved slideout systems, A/C, interior finishes and woodwork.. Specifics can be found at LIFESTYLE Luxury RV This is the 37RESL model.
I haven’t weighed yet but I’m assuming with my options it’s about 14K empty and will go between 16 & 17K when loaded for a two month trip. Options include full body paint, 2nd A/C with heat pump, washer and dryer, 4 door reefer, 2nd awning, gen prep, Mor/Ryde pin box, raised 8K axles with disk brakes, NeverLube bearings and 17.5 “H” range tires. I tow with an 08 F450. This is the 5th fiver in over 29 years of RVing and probably the last so we went all out. Upon seeing it my son said “Dad I don’t mind you spending my inheritance but please don’t leave me any bills.”
The basketball pole is still there. If you look closely there’s a board next to the wheels. I had measured the slide and placed the board so that if I stayed close to the boards I would have about 6 inches clearance with the slide out. Now I’ll spray a white line to guide me. The pole will probably come down in the future as it does complicate the backing maneuver since I have to back in with the pole on the blind side.

Those counter tops look like marbel or ius it quartz? One of the prettiest 5ers I've seen....I think the full body paint really adds to the look.
