The RV Trader Process

RV Trader asked RV shoppers what was most important to them in their RV buying process. Potential buyers — like you — helped us to identify a list of six key areas that camping and travel enthusiasts always look at when they’re searching for the perfect RV: sleeping space, bathroom, living area, four-season capabilities, and storage space.

The RV Trader team then got to work providing you with an honest and unbiased evaluations. And that’s where I come in. I’m Lynne Fedorick, RV expert and enthusiast. Whenever I review any RV, my goal is always to perform the review objectively. I evaluate everything on the RV from top to bottom. All without any undue influence from manufacturers or retailers.

RV Trader sent me to the Forest River showroom in Elkhart, Indiana to look at 2024 RVs from the diverse brands included in the Forest River family. I inspected each RV with the buyer’s perspective at the forefront. How well would each RV meet the needs and requirements of its intended buyer? Above all, I wanted to seek out answers to this question, so I looked at the six key areas with this in mind. 

So, let’s take a closer look at the Cedar Creek 391WOW.

 

Sleeping Space

You’ll find a spacious bedroom at the front of the 391WOW. In keeping with the luxurious amenities in this fifth wheel, the front wall next to the East-West king bed is a wall-to-wall mirrored closet. Behind the doors are beautifully made shelves and enough storage space for two people’s clothing, shoes, and more. It’s also where you’ll find a washer/dryer hookup. A cordless vacuum is also included to help to keep everything clean and tidy. If that’s not enough, there’s additional storage under the king bed.

Another nice touch is the clever, concealed storage area beneath the top of the nine-drawer bedroom dresser that could be used for storing jewelry or laptops when you’re not home. Also, those who enjoy relaxing in bed and watching TV from time to time will appreciate that Cedar Creek 391WOW includes a smart TV in the bedroom. 

 

Bathroom

This fifth wheel has a spacious bathroom with lots of places to store towels and all of your necessities. The double vanity works perfectly for busy mornings. Above the vanity, there’s a mirrored three-door medicine cabinet with oodles of room for toiletries and medications. Beneath the vanity counter, there’s even more storage space in six roomy drawers and two cabinets. The 6-foot-7-inch high, spa-style shower has an attractive wood shower bench that folds neatly out of the way when not in use. The ceramic toilet in this bathroom is well placed next to the far wall. The floating shelf and hooks on the wall behind it can hold towels.

 

Living Area

The living area in the Cedar Creek 391WOW is shared with the kitchen area. Two power-reclining theater seats allow you to customize your comfort. They also feature USB ports for charging devices and a central console with hidden storage to help keep track of remote controls. The theater seating is perched directly across from a cozy fireplace and a 60-inch smart TV with soundbar. An EZ-Glide sofa bed stores bedding underneath while making the living room into a comfortable conversation pit. The wall about the sofa bed holds storage cabinets the sofa bed 

But my favorite part about the living space is behind the entertainment center. A quick pull on a secret lever hidden inside the fireplace mantle reveals a huge, hidden walk-in pantry. There, you have plenty of additional storage for food, cleaning supplies that you don’t use all the time. It is also an ideal place for a safe for your valuables.

 

Kitchen

The gorgeous kitchen in the Cedar Creek 391WOW was obviously designed after consultation with RVers who love cooking. It manages to hit all the marks when it comes to an RV dream kitchen. It’s well laid out. The plan circles a simple, yet practical island that provides counter space, storage, and additional seating with two counter-height chairs. This makes a great spot for breakfast or when you’re cooking for guests. As you cook, they can keep you company in the kitchen. (And maybe peel some potatoes.) With expansive, solid-surface counters and a top of the line Furrion gas cooktop, cooking a Thanksgiving feast would be a treat. Not only that, but with the 12-volt, 16-cubic-foot French door fridge (with a double drawer freezer) you could even do it off-grid, using solar power. 

The farmhouse-style sink at the back of the kitchen gives whoever’s washing up a view from the window. I’ve already mentioned the murphy pantry, but that’s just the start of kitchen storage in this RV. There are so many cabinets here. Many have features like beautifully finished hardwood drawers and a pull-out waste bin — with an ingenious mounting system for the cutting board that lets you easily dispose of scraps.

 

Four-Season Capabilities

The 391WOW is a fantastic example of a four-season RV. All the tanks have heating pads. The enclosed underbelly has four removable panels for easy access underneath the RV. There’s a gas furnace. A 15,000 Btu fireplace. Even an electric heater in the bedroom — all which will help keep you toasty all winter. In summer, there are dual air conditioners. What’s more, temperature control can be done via a wall mounted touch pad, or a phone app. A good insulation package helps to make sure the interior of the RV maintains its temperature. 

 

 

Storage Space

The incredible storage space in the 391WOW starts outside. There’s a huge basement storage area under the front of the RV, and a massive passthrough storage area just behind that. At the rear of the fifth wheel, there’s a double bike rack hitch mount. 

I’ve already talked about the impressive amount of storage inside this RV. In the walk-in closet. On shelves. Under the bed. In cabinets and dressers and that massive Murphy pantry. The Cedar Creek 391WOW certainly uses every conceivable means to ensure that no one will run out of storage space in this RV. So, when I say that this RV has a huge WOW factor, I really mean it.
