But the biggest change might be to the appearance inside and out. There have been a number of upgrades to the 2023 models that are worth noting. As such, they’re neither inexpensive nor light, so know that you’re not pulling this with most three-quarter ton pickups. Frames are Z-frame metal with additional bracing.Įssentially, these things are well made and built to last. The suspension is a Trailair Road Armor system with bronze bushings. Of course the underbelly is heated and fully enclosed and the tanks feature 12 volt heaters.Įven the roof features aluminum trusses and then ⅜” wood decking is placed on top of that and protected with a PVC membrane on top. The underbelly uses sections so that you can remove just one panel should you need to affect a repair. Further, the exterior fiberglass is a true gel coat high-gloss finish which does last longer. The way the walls of these trailers are bonded is somewhat different and the substances used actually grow stronger over time. Saying your RV delaminated is like speaking ill of someone’s mom in Indiana. But the disadvantage is that, if the glue doesn’t hold or water gets in there, the structure fails and you get delamination.ĭelamination is a curse word in the RV industry. The advantage of this is that it makes a solid structure and, for the weight, it’s pretty darned strong. The walls are generally laminated to a substrate which is then glued to the foam. Between the aluminum ribs are foam for insulation. Most RVs with fiberglass exteriors are built with aluminum cage construction. In other words, you can shut off the lights in the whole trailer from the bedroom which is a plus. These remote systems allow you to control specific lights, particularly those in the specific rooms you’re in, but also control all the lighting in the rig. Part of that thinking include the remote units which are upstairs and in the bedroom. Some of these systems are rather complicated and fiddly but the one here is rather well thought through. Speaking of remotes, like so many RVs nowadays, this one incorporates a digital control system that operates a lot of the functions in the RV but particularly the lighting. There is a rain sensor on this fan and, of course a remote for the units. I also like that Cedar Creek is putting a high-performance vent fan in the shower as well as in the main living space. This also makes the shower, which is all the way at the back of this model, pretty great in the amount of headroom. This works out in the bedroom at the back and the living space in the front where there is appreciable headroom, more than in some other fifth wheels. In fact Cedar Creek offerings use a low-profile air conditioning system so that the ceilings can be taller. That makes a lot of sense because these offer a large living space in the front, a great kitchen in the middle, and a first-rate bedroom and bathroom out back.
The front living models, in particular, were difficult to come by for us and sold very, very quickly.

Then we’d sell the heck of out of these to insurance companies who found it cheaper to buy one of these for someone than to put them up in a hotel while bureaucracies slowly figured out how to help people rebuild.
These would sit on the lot for a good long time until there were natural disasters in the area, particularly fires. In fact I have shared with you the fact that we sold quite a few of these while I was working at the RV dealership.
These Cedar Creek fifth wheels are also built differently than most RVs but this isn’t something you’re towing with most pickup trucks - you’re going to need something larger. This is a large, high-end fifth wheel with a living room up front over the pin box. Today’s daily RV review is of the 2023 Cedar Creek 371FL fifth wheel.
