Cedar Creek Fifth Wheel Review

I have been in the RV industry for a while and I noticed that a lot of people ask about key features and quality on RVs that go unanswered. So I am going to review a new travel trailer, toy hauler, fifth wheel and motorhome each week. Feel free to post your own review of an RV on our site. Go to www.timetorv.com, scroll down the home page. On the right hand side click login icon, then click creat account and that's it.

The RV that I reviewed is a Forest River Cedar Creek. This unit is a luxury fifth wheel and is made in Indiana. Cedar creek has been in production for 10 years and the market cap continues to grow for this brand. This unit is usually not a first time Rver unit. It's price point is between 50K to 70K, depending on options.

Here are some key features about the Cedar Creek:

* Insulated tanks for cold weather ( this helps prevent your tanks from freezing and cracking ).

* Gel-coat exterior, including entry door and all compartment doors ( this helps the exterior hold its apperence ).

* Automotive UV Clear Coat Paint, Guaranteed for 7 Years,
on all Refrigerator Vents, Microwave Vents, and Entry
Door Window Frames, Preventing Early Discoloration

* Handmade 2 x 2 - 16" (or less) OC Sidewalls with Individually Fastened Custom “L” Brackets Combined with Uniroyal®Silaprene Adhesives for a Strong Flexible Frame without Welding or Lamination. (475 PSI at 2" Per Minute, Marine Grade) The benefit of having this is, when your side walls are welded they can stress and crack over time without you even noticing it until it's to late. Remember these unit flex while on the road.

* All slide-outs are insulated all the way around ( 5 sides ). This may sound crazy but a lot of manufacturers don't insulate the whole slideout.

* R-7 insulation in the walls. It is not possible to get thicker insulation without having thicker walls. If some one says they have R-10 or R-14 in the wall then they must have 2x4 studs not 2x2. Also, some RV manufacturers count the side wall skin as insulation.

* All end caps are insulated for better climate control in the fifth wheel.

* Day and night shades, no more radeling from mini-blinds.

* Central Vacume, for ease of cleaning

* Huge out-side storage to take every thing including the kitchen sink.

* Forest River goes the extra mile with this product by providing the owner with road side assistance from Coach-Net for the first year

Another thing, I witnessed personally is, the workers for Cedar Creek are very proud of what they do and don't cut corners just to get to their lunch break. Cedar Creek believes in quality first, not quanity and that starts first with the employees. The turn around for emloyees is very low adn when they need to hire someone else, they don't even put out an ad. Most employees are referred by another worker at the plant. Below is a list of some standard feature taken from the Cedar Creek website. I hope this has been helpful. Feel free to post your own reviews.

I have a dream which has five or six wheels making a thunderous sound?

Five or six shining white wheels they are moving at such an astronomical speed and with roaring sound. I was really afraid and I was not able to open my eyes at the first try. I thought I was going into coma or trance i don't know. Then I tried again and came out of sleep. The wheels are really beautiful.
