Very well built RV and high quality, good design, all materials inside and outside of high quality materials. Love the water control panel and the power cord electric reel. Prewired for third AC. Real wood interior trim and cabinetry, Dual window blinds and double glass windows. Needed replacement for stereo and composite kitchen sink covers and Factory support helped get this done.

This RV is everything you need and nothing you don't. Well built. Great floor plan. Easily 3/4 ton towable. Luxurious. Well insulated. Full-time rated. I lived in mine full-time for two years and wish I still could. Now I have the ultimate weekend/vacation toy. Get one, you won't be sorry! Show less

We've had our 5th wheel now since 2019. When it was built great attention was paid to quality control. Around 2020, I think things started to go downhill a bit with Vanleigh & they started to cheap out on cabinetry (plastic vs. wood), components & workmanship! We feel really fortunate to have had this experience with this unit as nothing major has ever gone wrong. Even before we beefed up the suspension, it pulled like a dream. There's about 19K miles on it & no problems at all except for cosmetic furniture breakdown which happens in all RVs that have a particular faux leather but that is not a fault of Vanleigh. Great service center in Tishomingo MS too! We will miss vacationing around in our little apartment on wheels. Show less

We had as I said the greatest fifth wheel or at least I thought so until Hurricane Ian. We were in love with this as our second home in Florida. Six slides with the living room in front, a large kitchen with so much room, bathroom with two sinks and a bedroom with a king size bed and huge closets and so so many cabinets. Even with a 130 mph winds she stood her ground. As other rv‘s and fifth wheels floated in the almost five foot storm surge she held fast. After the storm the outside was untouched but her basements filled with seawater. Her electronic controls compromised. About six inches of seawater came inside and with her slide controls down on floor of the master bedroom was destroyed and without any emergency release her slides would not open. We could only retrieve items in just a few cabinets in the kitchen, panty and us squeezing our arms to get to the cabinets by the massive television in the front living room and retrieve things in in the tall cabinets. We lost a lot of personal items because of the failure of getting any slide open. Our insurance company totaled this fine lady. I feel Vanleigh should really look and change where to place the mother board of the electronics and the main brains to the slides and put a emergency release on a few of the slides. There is not one fifth wheel built to match what we had and now Vanleigh doesn’t even have a six slide rig, shame on you Show less

The Vanleigh Vilano 369FB is a one of the best floor plans we found and the quality and craftsmanship is outstanding. A must see! Starting in the master bath, you have a washer/dryer, shower, two sinks and a real toilet. The closet space is as good as any in this size rig. The master bedroom is roomy and has a spacious 7 drawer dresser with custom armoire. Walking down the steps into the living area, you find a very comfortable space for daily living. Residential fridge, island, 1/2 bath, dining table and seating area. The cabinet space is more than one could ask for and the quality of the wood cabinets are really wood., not composite. The Vanleigh line is backed by a service center that is second to none. Very knowledgeable and extremely helpful when it's needed most. Show less

This 5th wheel was build by "Tiffin" Vanleigh and has the same quality that their high dollar motorhomes have. Solid wood throughout the unit, hydr jacks,, three a/c's with heat pump, fire place, lots of storage inside and under, on demand water heater, double pain windows, king bed and a lot more. Because of our age and health we are getting out of RVing. Show less

How many of you experience sewer smell when you run the bathroom fan, or when you shower? We experienced this after purchasing this coach 2nd hand in July 2021. The smell was a mystery until we took the underbelly off to fix a leaking washer line (manufacture had not connected the lines leading to the washer). We discovered that the toilet was not connected to the black tank. When we flushed the toilet, water ran out over the black tank. We could tell from the rust on the rivets that held the underbelly in place that this was an ongoing problem. Has anyone else experienced these issues: sewer smell in the coach when showering or running the bathroom fan? What was your fix? Show less

We bought our 2018 Vilano used from the original owner. Only 3 years old and had less than 300 miles on it. We have been living in it for 4 months now full time while our new home is being built. Let me tell you, this rig is not living up to all the hype. Wished I would've taken a pass on this one. Everything and I mean everything from the water pump to the handles on the cabinets is pure garbage. Straight up, junk! Avoid buying any VL if at all possible. If you are not wanting to do that, then make sure everything works as it should. Some of the highlights: Entertainment system not fully wired. Cables dead ended and not connected to the on-board HD antenna. Water pump impeller worn out after very little use. Control panel not functioning properly. Cabinets installed with doors that bind up. Batteries toast after only 3 years. Only one appliance wired to use the inverter. Refrigerator installed with latches that prevent it from closing properly. The list goes on and on. So don't go getting all hyped up by that bs on BTBRV. Because these fifthwheels are put together with bubblegum and duct tape. Show less

Every first timer to enter a VanLeigh RV has the same comment... "WOW, this is huge... and beautiful!" Tall ceilings, tons of cabinets, with a real residential feel. 3 ACs, upgraded air ride hitch, residential refrigerator, microwave, stove, oven, fireplace, big screen tv in LR, additional TV in bedroom, w/d connections, 6 drawer dresser in BR, Spyder lighting controls...the upgrades go on and on! VanLeigh is the standard for quality and customer support... not that much support is needed. Show less

Purchased RV 3 years ago and have had only minor issues. One of the tops for this brand is customer service is just a phone call or email away and they go above and beyond to resolve all issues or requests, even custom requests. Cannot say enough good things about Vanleigh Vilano customer service- you can go directly to them for all needs. Show less
