Beautiful camper! Very nice video review. I am currently in the market for a used 2020 Riverstone Legacy 39RKFB (after 2020, raised panel cabinet doors are not available on any trim level). The DRV is a little nicer on the interior with stained hardwood cabinetry, etc. The Riverstone beats the DRV on exterior. The DRV exterior looks dated, like 1970's or 80's. Also, lately a lot of DRV customers are seeing stress cracks in frames. Mainly on the vertical tubes that attach the main frame to the upper deck. The welds are ok, it is the vertical tube that is failing (probably best to steer clear of DRV).

It will be for me, a solo female traveler so I don’t need two couches and it’s exactly what I’m looking for!! Including the colors and well, just everything.

Loved the video! We saw this and specifically your unit and fell in love! We have been looking at the River Ranch models due to the enormous amount of storage, however this River Stone model has enough storage and the quality of the components and parts seems to be high residential. Although we do not live full time in an RV, we are retired and want to go out on longer trips across the country. A couple of questions, do you have two or three air conditioners? How do they cook and how loud are they? Also, is your generator bay in the front big enough to carry two of those Honda Generators? Thanks again and we have now subscribed to your channel. glad we found you all. 😊

We were definitely looking at the River Ranch also but the idea of the steps and getting in and out with the dog or the groceries. Our unit has 2 air conditioners in it and it does a pretty good job of keeping cool. This summer we had temps in the 90s and we were in direct sun and kept the inside at 70 degrees. But we did make a couple simple modifications to help the AC's out this year because they were struggling. The bathroom and living room ceiling vents were hot spots so we bought a couple of those pillow inserts which helped a lot. We also covered the skylight in the bathroom on the roof side with reflectex to block the sun (we have been stationary in Pigeon Forge for 7 months). We removed the AC covers which is black plastic and painted them with Flex Seal White Paint to help the AC units themselves. After making those modifications the AC kept up great. As for noise, many have come in and asked are those the AC's running? Because they were so quiet. Yes, the space in front where the Generator would go is plenty big enough to carry 2 of the Honda Generators. I have two of them in there myself and there is extra room for many other things. If you have any additional questions feel free to reach out to me at roamingwiththeramsays@gmail.com

@@RoamingwiththeRamsays thank you so much for that great explanation and information. That is exactly what we were wanting to know. Yes, after walking through a couple of the River Ranches yesterday although I like the extra storage below, I do not like all the steps to get in, we are considering the RR 391MK until we came across this 3850RK. You showed us in the video it has so much inside storage that having all the storage outside is not really necessary. The main thing we were looking for with the RR was the ability to carry two Kayaks underneath. We are thinking we can still do so with the 3850RK because that basement pass through is pretty large from what we can tell. Thanks again! 👍🏾

I love this floorplan and riverstone in general, but I can't get past the carpet in slides and the floor vents. It absolutely drives me crazy. Forest river can change this as other manufactures have done so to make the slide floor match exactly and be flush. Otherwise, the riverstone are top notch. I'm curious are the cabinets actual wood and does the fridge have an icemaker?

LOVE that kitchen and roll out shelves! Oh yes, love that ceiling too! I have wondered if things shake around more in the rear of the camper? Or do things stay put for you in the cabinets and fridge? Love the desk! Those window toppers are really cool...something different. The drawers in the stairs are genius! That is an excellent camper. Love it. One thing I'd like to know is how you make the bed with the tight fit mattress at the head of the bed. I have wondered why campers are made like this. Not sure of any alternatives but it seems really hard to change the sheets or make the bed. Sorry I got a little wordy... loved seeing this!

Love some wordy comments because it gives us an opportunity to learn more about what our viewers want to know. The Rear Kitchen models can be a bit more bouncy on the kitchen but there are some things we do to control it and have no problems. We will likely be doing a Travel Day video this coming weekend to cover those issues. As for making the bed, yes it can be very challenging, we usually slide the mattress down a bit to give us better access but it's still a bit of a wrestling match.

I added a cut off valve at the stove so if we accidently bump a knob from the off position. This was an issue with our 5th wheel. We stop about an hour out from RV Park and start the the generator to cool the vehicle. We travel in the south and with temps in the 100's it just helps. we dogged a major issue because we bumped a burner valve and was sending propane into the living space. Now we just stop about an hour out and run the gen set to lower the temp.

Hello! I am a new subscriber. I found you through this video. We bought our first RV in January of last year and it was a Forest River Heritage Glen, but we ended up upgrading to the Riverstone Reserve 3850RK in November after a trip to the Florida Keys. My husband wanted a work area so that he was more comfortable working on the road and I fell in love with the kitchen on this model. So far we love this RV, and we added the dishwasher, washer, and drier. The only issue we have found is that the shower drains into the galley gray tank instead of the bath gray tank. This makes boondocking very difficult. Have you found the same issue with your rig?
@RoamingwiththeRamsays

Yes, my understanding is the kitchen sink and the shower go to the same gray tank and the washer and the bathroom sink goes to the same. We don't have the dishwasher or the washing machine. That has been the one thing I wish I could change the most. For us it's about 4 showers and the tank is full along with whatever dishes we do. Otherwise completely live it.
