Who Is Luxe Fifth Wheel?

Luxe Fifth Wheels aims to exude what their name implies, luxury. They look good driving down the road, and the interiors just may make you feel like you’re in a mansion. However, you may not have seen them on the dealer lot before – this manufacturer is factory-direct. Let’s learn who Luxe Fifth Wheel is and if they’re really that luxurious.

Luxe Luxury fifth wheels - Bullet Points - Highlights on our construction

Who Is Luxe Fifth Wheel? 

Luxe is a premier brand of fifth wheels designed for any traveler, including full-time RVers. They design and manufacture luxury fifth wheels and toy haulers. Luxe sits under their parent company, The RV Factory. 

Luxe fifth wheel construction is unique in that they don’t rush RVs through the production line. Instead, they incentivize quality output, not speed. A higher level of attention to detail is the intended result. 

Who Makes Luxe Fifth Wheels?

Luxe RV makes Luxe fifth wheels. They’re based in Elkhart, Indiana, with additional showrooms in Mansfield, Texas, and Murrieta, California. They sell their fifth wheels factory direct and provide concierge-style customer service with a network of certified service centers in the U.S. and Canada.

What Does Factory Direct Mean?

Factory direct is a direct-to-consumer approach. The manufacturer sells directly to the customer without an intermediary. As a factory-direct manufacturer, Luxe Fifth Wheels doesn’t sell its products through an RV dealer. Instead, you can purchase your fifth wheel from Luxe. They’ll then build your RV and deliver it right from the factory.

Alongside the personal touch of Luxe’s factory-direct approach, there are additional benefits specific to their company. For example, their RVs don’t go to many RV shows, so there aren’t hundreds of people trekking through them before you buy. And they don’t mass-produce their RVs or leave them to sit outside on lots before they get to you.

Luxe Fifth Wheel Models

Luxe has three fifth wheel models on the market: the Elite, Gold, and their toy hauler line. All of their products can work for full-time use.

The walls are three-inch super composite welded aluminum cage walls with two and a half graphite-infused closed cell insulation. The floors are three inches thick with tongue and groove plywood flooring. And there’s thermal pack insulation throughout with forced furnace air into the enclosed underbelly. Luxe fifth wheels also have frameless thermopane windows.

Luxe’s Elite runs between 40.10 feet and 44.11 feet. The GVWR (gross vehicle weight rating) is 24,000 pounds on all four floor plans. The freshwater tank holds 100 gallons.

How Much Do Luxe RVs Cost?

Person counting money.
Luxe fifth wheels generally range from $160,000 to $210,000.

Are Luxe Fifth Wheels Good RVs? 

Luxe Fifth Wheels have the consumer in mind from start to finish. They’re good RVs that can maximize your comforts on the road.

The only drawback we can think of is the sheer size of Luxe RVs. Since 36.9 feet is the shortest model, they’re not the easiest fifth wheel to maneuver. However, with practice and experience, that’s something anyone can get used to. With GVWRs between 21,000 – 25,999 pounds, you’ll also need a pretty big truck to tow it with.

As with any RV, it depends on your travel style and the criteria that are most important to you. These are big fifth wheels designed for the luxury camper looking for comfortable accommodations wherever they go. The Luxe price tag places them higher than many other fifth wheel models, but gets you many amenities and building features others lack.

Have done several RV factory tours; LUXE was one of the best. Kathy & I were shown the factory floor from start to finish with lots of time for explanations and questions. We were at LUXE for over two hours! Note: we pre-arranged for our tour.

If you are spending over $200,00 for a quality RV then a few factory tours should be considered as part of your research. The money you spend visiting the Elkhart area will be the best use of your RV-purchase money. Judging from what we learned on factour tours if you end up with a LUXE 5th Wheel then it may be the best value-for-money decision you make.

Upon delivery make sure you have an independent inspection. We had ours for two years and we were constantly getting repairs done. A lovely full-time home for us, but we would take precautions, were we ever to purchase directly from Luxe again.
