This thread is titled “Let’s see those 5th wheels”. Well, I don’t have anything yet to show but we just signed the papers for a new custom ordered Alliance Paradigm 385FL. It’s the basement storage floor plan that should allow us to easily travel with our kayak, paddle board and a couple of bikes securely loaded inside out of the weather. Factory is saying we should have delivery around mid-June or so, we are really looking forward to the upgrade.
Today is my Wife and my 30th anniversary and today is when Alliance started our 385FL build, pretty cool. Even cooler is that it is scheduled to be completed on the 24th, my birthday!
This build is getting a little extra attention while in production as it will be the first Paradigm to get the water manifold installed in the wet bay and of course, the MorRyde independent suspension. They took a few pictures to send us today.
Today was day 3 of our new Alliance Paradigm build. It’s really beginning to look like a camper now!
This is the water manifold setup that we requested, they are considering going to this on future Paradigms, it’s standard on their Valor toyhaulers. If there were ever to be a leak the manifold allows for just that line to be shut off while keeping all other water lines in service.
It is, the factory is new and pretty amazing, every component is coded for your VIN and is staged as the bare frame enters the production facility. Makes for a very quick build.
We are camping this weekend and the Wi-Fi is only so good, we have the final production day pics taken around noon and it looks to be pretty close to finished. I will post those pictures on Monday or Tuesday when we are back home. After the Holiday it has to go to MorRyde to have the independent suspension aligned then it’s back to Alliance’s service facility to have the washer and dryer installed then it should be ready to ship. We are getting excited but also a little sad saying goodbye to our big TT, it has been very good to us for the past 11 years, many miles, countless nights and everlasting memories.

i remember getting pictures from New Horizons when we ordered ours in 2020 . It took them a little longer than what Alliance is turning out . It took several weeks to months at NH . But of course they only do about 30 builds a year . We ordered ours in September and it was ready late March.
make sure to have your MorRyde suspension aligned every year or two . I didn’t think about it needing to be checked and no one mentioned it when I bought our rig . Started having some worn tires when I was asked when was last time you had an alignment? I said never and was told the was the roads are and depending on backing angles it should be done every other year at minimum. When I had it done two axles were out of alignment. Don’t know where you live but finding shops that can do the MorRyde alignment can be difficult. Had one shop say the could and after about an hour of them scratching their head they said we don’t have the machine to do it . Finally found a MorRyde certified shop local and 900 dollars later it was done . Luckily only two of the three axles needed alignment.
I remember your big red NH build and all of the pictures that you shared here.
I will have to check around for a MorRyde certified shop for future alignments, we seem to find plenty of bad roads in our travels.
We visited NH a couple of times during the build so we could make changes if needed or wanted. We enjoyed our 5thwheel but have it for sale now . We didn’t travel as much as was planned.
Yes it is! Here are the pictures from Friday, the final day on the production line.
These are the solar gizmos for the 960 watts on the roof and 3 100 amp hour lithium batteries.
Probably the only time the front cap won’t have bugs on it!
The dinette slide shows how large all of the windows are, much bigger than our TT!
Looks like the interior just needs cabinet doors and drawers.
Looking aft through the bedroom into the rear full width bath.
Still needs the slide toppers installed on all 5 slides.
With the MorRyde independent suspension option the tires are upgraded to the H rated Cooper 17.5”s and the GVWR bumps up to 19,000 lbs.
This rear storage bay gets an 800lbs capacity 48” wide 115” long pull out tray, then there is another 24”+ of addition length forward of the tray. My 12’ kayak will fit.
Each side has 2 doors to access the side sections of the rear storage bay, about 20” deep by 22” high and 10’ long. You can see the hole for the dryer vent next to the window.
These pictures were taken mid shift, the build should have finished Friday. It will need to take the short trip over to MorRyde for an alignment, then back to Alliance for the washer and dryer install, then it gets its final inspection and full tanks tow test then it can by shipped to our dealer in DE.
