Paul Sirian of Open Range RVs provided us with a tour of one of the Open Range units, the Journeyer JT340FLR.
A patio? A patio.
The floorplan posters showed several Open Range models with the optional patio feature. Well, actually, it was a dotted line that showed where the patio would be located. Still, I was struck with curiosity. Enough so that I sought out Pail Sirian, a manufacturer's representative with Open Range.
It turns out the patio is really nothing more than a large wall that is attached to the RV, that swings down parallel to the ground. It's accessible from sliding glass doors from inside the camper. It's pretty cool and something I hadn't seen before on a travel trailer. I do recall seeing something similar on a Montana fifth wheel once, but it was quite different than this.The patio was my introduction to the Open Range RV. I found it to be very nice. The JT340FLR was huge, especially with two slides opposite each other in the living room. (A third slide is found in the bedroom.) The living room is wide enough for a mobile island in the kitchen that offers a wide variety of uses, depending on where it's stowed.
One of the nice things about the Journeyer was the bedroom was elevated three steps off the living room level, yet the interior ceiling heights were so high that there was still plenty of room in the bedroom. This allowed for an enormous storage area underneath.If you have the time, check out the Open Range RV website. It has some cool features, like a 360-degree walk-through of their campers, plus videos.

Really love this trailer. we bought one and took it out this passed weekend and enjoyed everything about it. Reaaly like the wide open space in the living room and the best thing its a trailer not a 5th wheel. Been looking awhile for a trailer with 3 slides and good storage space. Everyone told me the only trailer that would have that is a 5th wheel. Wrong! Don't want to give up my back of my truck, just love this trailer. You have to get one!!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the comment! I liked the Journeyer quite a bit too, but it's always better to get a review from an owner! being as long as it is, how does it tow? What size truck do tow it with?
