I have the same rv. Mine is a 2023. I noticed you kept referring to it as a 350. It's on a F-600 chassis. It's is shift on the fly 4x4. The mileage I got from New Mexico to Oregon was 12 9 miles per gallon basically empty except for a full fresh water tank. I tow a 2021 Silverado Trail Boss thats weighs about 5200 pounds. My mileage from Central Oregon to Tacoma Washington while towing the Trail Boss is 10.4 miles per gallon. I have done that trip 3 times. The rear suspension is a little squirrely. That should be fixed when I upgrade the shocks. Overall it's a great rv. I bought mine new and it was well below $300,000
The unit does downshift in tow mode (you also can use the engine brake going down hills) and will also shift into each gear instead of skipping every other gear in normal drive mode. Also a must for this unit are sumo springs. That stops the sway. I have a XG32.
You never mentioned what model this was. I'm sure there would be a big difference between the AX29 and the RS36. I'm really interested in buying one of these and was very interested in your vid so knowing what model you were testing would have helped. Otherwise a very informative vid.
Drop a set of airbags on the system but as far as the swaying that’s gonna happen because it’s top-heavy I might be a little biased cause I’ve got about 2,000,000 miles under my belt in a big rig but that is a little high priced I think they’re all overrated to be quite honest you get used to this way after the whileand then you learn to counteract it
Nobody ever talks about the 4-wheel drive! Can this go off road? Well, you did say the height is not there, so that will tell me this cannot go off road or on the beach!!
It would be great if it was snowing, and you needed that extra traction… But as far as offloading… Really… Yeah, ground clearance is kind of a joke that generator exhaust pipe is 5 inches off the ground.
Personally I think the RV industry as a whole needs a reset. We can see a 30% decline in Rv sales on average this year because of the interest rates and the economy. On top of that there severe quality issues so you really aren’t getting the value either. I am planning on purchasing a RV in the next year and have been doing a lot of research and it is truly amazing to see what has been going on. To date I am leaning towards a Brinkley fifth wheel. Their quality is pretty good and their customer service is top notch. And yes they have issues as all RV’s will, but they care and they make it right with there customers.

instead of sumo springs you could do 2.5 king shocks, same price and way better, just a thought....
Put liquid spring on your class C keeps it from swing quite a bit almost down to nothing

Woah, this is one expensive RV!
For sure, this is one of the most expensive RVs I've ever driven. This might be something to invest in later.
The wheelbase is too short.
This is an awesome 4x4 RV but I think it needs a lift! What do you think?
It's rad and could definitely use a lift.
Why? This is made for the road not the trail. I don't understand lifting RVs
