If you’re currently shopping for a new fifth-wheel trailer, it is definitely an amazing time to be alive. The top brands from across the industry are constantly innovating, seemingly upping the ante in terms of luxury and space on an annual basis. Take for example the new Forest River Campsite Elite 36JI floor plan, which delivers an upscale experience made for extended families, including offering two private bedrooms and baths.
As you’ll see in the video above, this rig is crammed full of upscale amenities. The layout takes full advantage of the trailer’s 44′ 9″ length by placing the primary bedroom at the front, equipping the space with a plush king-size bed, two dressers, a hanging wardrobe, and even washer/dryer prep. The second bedroom is found in the rear and includes a queen-bed, a closet, and a private entrance through the smaller second bedroom. And if you need yet more space for guests, a lofted sleeping area is found overhead.

The living room and kitchen area of this luxury fifth-wheel are no slouch either. A massive L-shaped couch provides plenty of room to stretch out, opposite an entertainment center that includes a 55″ smart TV and a fireplace. Nearby, a freestanding table and chairs offers room for four at meal times, but is equally useful for playing games, working remotely, or just socializing with friends. The kitchen is equipped with a full slate of residential appliances, including a double-door refrigerator/freezer combo, a versatile stainless steel sink with high-rise faucet, a three-burner stove with 24″ oven, and a convection microwave. All of that is surrounded by solid surface countertops and more drawers and cabinets than you’ll know what to do with.
One of our favorite features of this model is the numerous windows found throughout. There are large windows in every room, including the loft, allowing plenty of natural light into the interior. We also appreciate the 400W of solar that comes standard, the various USB-C charging ports located in convenient places, and the digital video projector located in the primary bedroom. And wait until you get a look at the main bathroom, which definitely provides a spa-like experience at the campsite.
