RVTravel Review: A Closer Look at the Dynamax Isata 5 30FW
EDITOR’S NOTE: The following review was written by Tony Barthel for the Aug. 29 edition of the RVTravel newsletter. It is reprinted by permission. See the review at RVTravel.com.
Today’s RV review is of the Dynamax Isata 5 30FW. This is a “Super C” RV based on the Ram 5500 four-wheel-drive chassis. Well, really, it’s a six-wheel-drive chassis because there are duals at the rear, right? I saw this rig sitting for sale at the most recent FMCA Convention in Lincoln, Nebraska, but the comments from people wandering through it were almost more interesting than the rig itself.
But I also found a gent from the dealership repping the unit, Leach Camper Sales in Lincoln, who actually knew what he was talking about, was informative and good to speak with. Darn me for not getting his name, but I did really enjoy the informative conversation. (If you read this, please put your name in the comments below, if you want to.)
Super C
One of the reasons some buyers like Super C motorhomes is that they are well-suited to towing. For example this unit is fitted with a 10,000-pound-capable hitch receiver. Combine that with the four-, er, six-wheel-drive and you have a machine that’s well-suited for people who might like to go a bit further off the grid or tow horses.
In fact, growing up, our house was adjacent to a horse arena and this kind of rig was not an uncommon sight towing horse trailers.
What’s inside the Dynamax Isata 5 30FW
The front of this particular Super C is essentially the cab of a Ram pickup truck with all the touches that come with that. I like the job Ram or Stellantis or whoever the company is at the moment does with their interiors. I have one of their pick ‘em ups and it’s been great.
In the motorhome side of things, you get two slides on the road side of this rig: one for the living space and the other for the bedroom. Starting at the back, there is a closet all along the rear wall of the bedroom. However, the bed, to me, felt a little coffin-like. There are windows on the side and on the wall of the slide box but, somehow, it just really felt enclosed. This is a true queen-sized bed, though, and that enclosed feeling could just be my own perception.
Spacious bathroom
On the camp side of this same space is the bathroom. It runs along what amounts to the entire width of the bedroom. This bathroom just feels very, very spacious and, sitting on the toilet, you can’t touch the walls on your left or right sides.
I wonder how many of the others wandering through this thing wondered why I was taking a toilet selfie? It’s all about you, my friends. All about you.
Kitchen in the Dynamax Isata 5 30FW
The kitchen is done much like most travel trailers I’ve seen where there’s a three-burner stovetop. But the oven’s not there with a convection microwave pulling baking duty. I much prefer this arrangement to the small ovens in some trailers.
