Salem hemisphere 368rlbh

Has anybody seen this floor plan at any rv show or is anybody buying this fifth wheel yet? The mid bunk house room is bigger than the coachman 360 ibl I think .

Yes sir, my dealer had one when we picked up our HG TT and we checked it out while some things were addressed from our PDI! It's a MONSTER! I don't know anything of the Coachman, but the bunk room was something! I instantly thought about how I could transform it into an office to work out of from the road! At a little over $36K it seemed like a lot of 5er for the buck.

I saw this rv at the rv show in Janurary for under 35k. The wife loves the floor plan because of the rear living room and mid bunk house. My wife if I sell our fifth wheel I can buy this one

My wife and I also really like this RV. The Chicago RV special was 40K. Where did they have them advertised at 35K and 36K....and were they brand new rigs? I want to be sure I don't overpay. Thanks in advance?

Congrats on the purchase...that sounds like a great price. Did you happen to have any upgrades like the outdoor kitchen, bigger refridgerator, etc. And did that price include taxes and other fees? Thanks again. I think we found the layout we want!

We got everything we wanted 10 cu/ft refig, link system to run things from tablet electric jacks , ladder , second air but no outdoor kitchen this will Change entertainment center a lot . Plus outdoor kitchen is really not an outdoor kitchen like other campers have. Any other questions please ask.

I do not think we will get the outdoor kitchen but am considering the second air cond. unit. Do you think I will be glad that I added the second unit? I don't want to be too hot in the sumer and this is a pretty big camper.

Yes get it, especial if you are going to take it down south or hotter areas than Wisconsin and Illinois. What size truck are you going to pull it with ?

I just bought this 5th wheel as well. Does anyone know if it is pre-wired for a backup camera? or what size generator is needed to run it?

It is definitely a bigger bunk room. I've been in the 360ibl and in the same floor plan as the Salem hemisphere in other brands including coachman and sandpiper. The sideways bunk room is longer and has more shelving/cabinet space than the two bunks perpendicular to the trailer.

We have a Ford F-350 Superduty 6.0 turbo diesel crew cab XLT, and a 2014 Salem Hemisphere lite 300bh. We love them! And the truck pulls the Trailer with ease.
