‘Wildsam’ Magazine Highlights the Best Rigs for Full-Timing – RVBusiness – Breaking RV Industry News
Dreaming about RVing full-time? These are our favorite rigs for making that dream a reality, according an article by Kraig Becker for Wildsam magazine.
KZ Durango Gold G382MBQ
Comforts of Home
Fifth-wheels are a popular choice for full-time rigs—roomy, with lots of storage and good towing characteristics—and this luxe entry from KZ is full of features that say “home” more than “weekend warrior.” An electric-tilt king-size bed adds versatility and extra space to the bedroom (which has a closet prepped for a washer/dryer). The kitchen, full of residential appliances, has an island and a dishwasher. Cherry cabinetry, lots of hardwood, and solid surface counters give the place a domestic feel throughout. But the best part has to be the covered, fold-out back patio. MSRP starts at $101,995 for the 2024 model. kz-rv.com
