We sold our MH 4 years ago, we traveled for 8 years. We went searching for another MH but after two RV shows we decided on a fifth wheel.
Like the 37 to 38 foot range. Loved the Mobil Suites but found the Columbus 375RL. Price difference almost 36k and thought the Columbus better. Not much empty weight difference for so much money?
Any way would appreciate any and all inputs. We live in South Louisiana and looking forward to getting back on the road.

Welcome from Michigan, enjoy your new unit when you get it. Just take your time and research which one would fit your needs the best. Good luck.

2015 250 Diesel. King Ranch Edition. We left day after Christmas for Creede Co to pick up our jeep. Not too happy with mileage towing the jeep and trailer. With our F150 we got around 9 to 10. Getting same thing with F250.

Welcome to the forum, Old Cajun.....hope you have a successful hunt for your new camper. We love our CC 38FL! DW fell in love with the Redwood with the front living room, but it was out of the budget. The 38FL proved an excellent alternative - been full timing since spring and it's very comfortable for the two of us.....
