Thanks so much for the info. We are looking at a Legacy 425FO.

[williamprice]

Good morning! Thanks for your video on The Riverstone legacy you bought. My wife and I bought the Riverstone Signature Series 41rl last June 2023. Since we were going to go full time, I researched the different brands for probably over a year. Our picks that we liked were DRV, Luxe, and Riverstone. So far our coach has needed 2 things fixed. They added another cold air return on each Truma A/C unit, and they updated our Firefly to the 3.10 version. Riverstone, Firefly, Truma, And our selling dealer were excellent to work with. And the communication from them was Great! Other than that, we Love our unit, and have had no other issues.
It definitely turns heads with the beautiful paint! 😊

As for as your door goes, I undone the bottom hinge on ours. Works 100% better. I agree where the controls are for the jacks, the controls are in a treible place, We've had some trouble but we would not leave the Riverstone 42FSKG,

In regards to your vent by your loveseat. We found replacement covers that have adjustable louvers so we can close them off when we're sitting there. They are also metal instead of the plastic. We found these at Walmart for, I believe, around $13.00. We also purchased these netting inserts that stops things from falling into the ducts. I also hate the shades. They work when they want to and bang around in the wind. We put felt bumpers on them to quiet them.

You need to go see Orvan in Topeka Indiana his service shop is the best for Cedar Creek Fifth Wheels make an appointment if you need something fixed.

For the vent I've seen magnetic covers for those. If your pressure when it's running is low enough that should seal it up. If you need a stronger seal what I would do is get a piece of thin acrylic and glue some rare earth magnets to the corners and also have a seal around it if you want it completely shut off. If you want it to NEVER be there just go in the basement and put a block off plate in there or damper or something or if you can fit something inside the cover then a piece of acrylic might be a semi permanent solution.

As someone whos considering their first 5th wheel I found a deal on one of these that works for me. My question is can an additional trailer be hooked up so I can pull my jeep behind it?

For cleaning your shower glass use a squeegee. I would also suggest that you frost the glass instead of stick on paper that will eventually come off with humidity. The frosting for the shower glass is a spray on. You would have to do a little prep work for over spray or take the doors out and do it outside.

@amazon needs to be your paid partner because you guys endorse them a lot 😂

We have 2021 same unit and have the same problem with the door!

[nowonehere]

I have a 2019 39RKFB and almost everything you have an issue with was changed in the newer models. They need to go back it looks like! Spray your door mechanism with WD-40. Every time mine starts to close hard I use WD-40 dry lube and it works fine for a long while.

[mrKeithGrayoldguy]

The thermostat is in the front bedroom because it get the 12 volt power that it need from the circuit board that in the front AC.

we have a 2022 42fskg.... have the same door .... I've found that there are two causes for the hard to close issue .... one is the friction hinges on the door ... to check them open the door ... look at the trim around the door and then move the door back and forth a few inches if you see the trim on the outside of the door " pull away " or expose unpainted area under the trim .... this means the joints in either the door frame internal to the door are loose or the rivets going through the hinges into the door Frame are not tight and causing the door to not seat in the frame the same way every time .... the other issue is the door strike plate the thick one on the door frame ( it's a lippert part) sticks out about 1/4 inch from the frame .... I found the door handle will actually work loose a little and then cause the latch to not be able to push in easily with the strike plate .... 2 ways to fix .... one find a thinner strike plate and replace it so the latches hits lower on the slope of the catch or two Dremel the slope to a smoother slope so it doesn't hit the strike plate so high on the latch .... on ours I took the lower friction hinge apart .... ground out the friction part with a Drexel and reinstalled ( works like a regular hinge now ) this took the flex out of our frame .... then I dremeled the catch down to make it smoother and easier to get the latch to push in when closing

We have the same model but a 2021 and our auto level control is in the wet bay on the left side and it works good there, I can see my hitch when hooking or unhooking. You could probably move fairly easy if the wires are long enough, just a thought.

[JamesGibson-kt]

If used rain ex on doors works great to keep spots and soap scum off or easy to remove

[WestsontheMove]

Be prepared for potential frame flex unless Riverstone’s frame specs are much stronger than the Grand Design Momentums. It apparently isn’t unique to just Grand Design though. We are also amazed to what these RV design engineers are thinking when they design these RVs. Did your rig not come with a generator? We got the Oman 5500

I forgot you guys were out of Colorado! Woohoo! We finally got our first video out today (12/23) even though we have been on Facebook and Instagram since the beginning.

[charleswesley]

So I see you dont have any complaints !

[lynnbohan]

Could you please tell us the model and make of the you installed in your bedroom? Ty I love it

[meseahunt]

good thing u and i are not road travel buddies cause if we ever saw the FR big wigs we would give them soooo much of an ear full they would have to see the doc afterwards!!! hope all has been better since filming this 🤠 am looking at the riverstone now but with the new 2025 CHEAP upgrades/options they have gone with and gone without we will prob skip this and go with the pinnacle.... IMO they are going backwards instead of the correct way as for improvements... AND i like you have almost scratched all my hait out thinking WHAT THE HELL were they thinking when they did (too many things to list) i don't know what owners they are talking to for input but there is no way they know what the hell they are talkin' bout??? for the $$ these are, them corp big wigs are laughing all the way to the bank come

[PhilMarshall-bk]

How about a Luxe. You won’t have those issues 😊
