38FB2 Cedar Creek vs Riverstone

[mixologist]

I see the new Riverstone has the same 38FB2 floor plan as the Ceder Creek 38FB2. I read the literature that is available on the website without much luck. Does anyone know what the differences are?

The River Stone might be a wider coach, has 8,000lb axels, 17.5 inch H rated tires, disc brakes, a water manifold system plus the waste management system plus some I forget right now.

It also has Goodyear 16 ply tires. 17.5 H rated

I think is has 3" walls, and probably a hefty price tag, lol

Looks like the difference is $30-40k.

if you ca do a walk thru of both somewhere you will probably see the difference in quality/ storage and such. we have a surveyor 5th wheel and when we walk thru other 5th wheels with the same floorplan but made by other companies we see the difference in the finishing/quality etc.

The RiverStone is a luxury coach; it has full body paint, wide body with 3 1/2" walls with more insulation, 8k axles with 17.5" wheels and H rated Goodyear tires, disc brakes, wider entry door, water management system, on-demand tankless water heater, induction cooktop, standard two air conditioners, third air is an option, convection/microwave, Jensen theatre-style stereo w/Bluetooth, Bose sound system, La-Z-Boy furniture, Dyson cordless vacuum, built in surge guard, cedar lined cabinet in closet. Battery compartment can hold four batteries, 6-point auto leveling system, 42,000 BTU furnace, 50 amp power shoreline reel, digital wireless observation system, dual 40# Lp tanks, Aluminum 4 step entry, and keyless entry. This is not a complete list, but is the best I can do from memory. There is also a "step-up" Cedar Creek coming out that is called a Cedar Creek Champaign Edition.

The Riverstone is Forest River's top of the line 5th wheel. A lot of upgraded differences throughout the unit. Forest River intends for the Riverstone to go head-to-head with Mobile Suites I believe.

I uploaded the Cedar Creek Champagne Brochure here:

That is one nice rig and I really like how they utilized the back of the fireplace for slide out storage, nice touch. Lots of storage in the closet too! I was surprised to see that the wood molding on the slides are the same as my Silverback, I thought that they might have come up with something different, but I like it.

Thanks for all the info. I am going to the Tampa RV show in a couple days. Hopefully I will get to see these differences.

I am almost positive FR will have a Riverstone & CC Champagne at the Tampa Show.

[swannie]

Lazydays will have the Riverstone unit there. As to which I don't know

[swannie]

Both Riverstone and champagne units are at the Tampa show

How do they look as they are about a $20=25,000 difference, I know the River Stone has a better build and equipment but our current Cedar Creek has been good just trying to decide what to upgrade to. Enjoy the show

Saw one last weekend at the FTW RV show, it's a pretty 5th wheel. There are several excellent choices in this higher end market.

Buick vs Cadillac
Ford vs Lincoln
Toyota vs Lexus

I saw a Montana on some site and it was a front kitchen and it looked so good, I don't know how many have seen the new Montana's fifth wheel with the front window but they look good, not to high jack this thread

No worries on the high jack I finally made it to the RV show in Tampa and it was a blast. I loved both the Riverstone and the Champagne. They were very crowded so I didn't get a chance to chat much with the salesmen in either of them but they were both beautiful in their own right. I look forward to forward to more research on them.
