2015 365saq or 2016 371rebh

[ksents]

Having a tough time deciding on which one I should buy. any comments or thoughts or experiences on either unit would be appreciated.

How many kids do you have or plan on taking with you when camping? If more than 2-3, I would opt for the 365, if less I would go for the 371. Our family is shrinking as the 3rd one heads off to college this fall, which only leaves one at home. They do come back for summer break, but tend to do more of their own thing. We will probably trade next year to something more like the 371.

We have 3 kids that will be with us for a year or 2. Then we will be down to just 2. Our main reason for considering the 365 is the outside kitchen and the massive amount of storage. Just wondering about any design flaws that anyone may have with either.

The 365 is near perfect in its current configuration. I made a few modifications to mine, and really enjoy it. Wish I had the new bath layout though. Have not seen a 371 in person yet, (which is maybe a good thing) but it promises to be a good design. I do think I would miss my outside kitchen, but more so my outside fridge. The large living space may make up for it though.

I have a 2013 365saq and like it alot, one of the bunks is a full sized bed for an older child and the out side kitchen is nice. But I'm tradeing it in when i get bake from Germany for a 376BHOK and getting the polar-tech package which gives me 2 layers of ins. in ceiling and floor 20cuft residential frig. insulated windows and fire place and auto-levelfrom Jeff Couch RV.

And you can send the last one down here and you can downsize even more. Be very happy to accommodate her.

I promise we won't spoil her.

Too late on the spoiling, that's already done, and I wouldn't know what to do if she wasn't climbing all over me.

Actually, 2 of the bunks in the 365 are full size(at least for RV purposes). We also liked the 376, but not enough to give up our 365 for, and can't remember why. I would like to see a 3715 blue ridge or wish Sierra would switch the 365 over to a drop frame and add the 5th kitchen slide.

I they made the 365 with another kitchen-living room slide you would loose the 1/2 bath. thats why i like the 376 BHOK it still has the 1/2 bath.

That's completely untrue, look at the Blue Ridge 3715bh, you're thinking of the 380bh5. Although, it would be fine with us if they did lose the 1/2 bath, even with 4-6 kids, the actual usage of the bath, was minimal.

I'm sorry I thought i made it clear i was specifically talking about the Sierra series no other FR trl. I knew about Blue Ridge but that wasn't what we were talking about we were talking about 365saq and the 376BHOK or 371REBH thats it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Yes, and when you said that if Sierra built a 365 with a 5th kitchen slide, they would lose the 1/2 bath, I said that is not true and gave a Forest River built Blue Ridge as an example of what I "wanted" from Sierra.

Apples and oranges Sierra does make a 376 BHOK which is like a 365 only it has a kitchen slide and you don't lose the 1/2 bath so we don't have to get a different brand like the Blue Ridge that i didn't want in the first place i wanted to stay with Sierra and i can with the 376. I don't want a Blue Ridge for a number reasons.

I can understand that, but I like the 365 better than the 376, and if they would add that 5th slide in the kitchen, I would like even more! It would take a lot for me to switch from a Sierra/Sandpiper, my factory contact has treated me too good.

I know I love Sierra but Sandpiper is to blue/grey for me i like my colors better.
