Fiver design filter

Does anyone know of a filter or program or app to help us search for our next 5er??? Would like to just stick in what we are looking for to come up with selections rather than going to each individual website. we hjave just about narrowed it down but would like to research this a tad more.

As a side note, we are looking for rear living, island kitchen, mid bunk, king bed, and outside kitchen.

Thanks for any help

Nope, finding a new camper SUCKS terribly.

I typically end up with a spreadsheet that has a list of each manufacturer I look at and each brand within that manufacturer. Then I'll have a column for each major feature we want and the things we absolutely don't want.

After browsing every manufacturer that I can think of, we'll start to track them down.

You can use sites like RVTrader to do the searching. Put "Rear Living, Mid-Bunk area" into the key words and that should help some. The only issue is it will show you every single RV that meets those criteria, not just the type or class, likely giving you hundreds of "hits."
Rvingplanet.com lets you select the types of things you want (like an Amazonsearch). It will give you a listing of the brands, which meet your criteria.

There may be others out there, but most I've seen tend to push the consumer to a particular brand or something they have on their lot.

When we first started out, we bought something we thought was going to meet our needs. We then had a year of researching to find our next one. And so forth. With each new RV, we have looked around at more and more options, refined our "Must Haves" and "Won't Tolerates," and we finally believe we have our perfect RV. We'll see how long that lasts.

Time & effort, that's it.
Do your homework if you want to find what YOU want.

General RV website has an advanced search feature by various options and can include all of the brands they carry that have the options you are searching for ....no I do NOT work for them but have been on their website as well as other sites while shopping for an RV

Like ben31 said, I have gone to a large RV dealership page and used their inventory search to narrow down what I was looking for since they will have size, type, and layout filters. After getting the results I do this on a few other dealers pages(if looking at other brands or lines with in a brand the other guy did not have). THen compare those. But, in the end it does require work.
