Hi Everyone. Well, after 15 years the RV-Dreams Community Forum is coming to an end. Since it began in August 2005, we've had 58 Million page views, 124,000 posts, and we've spent about $15,000 to keep this valuable resource for RVers free and open. But since we are now off the road and have settled down for the next chapter of our lives, we are taking the Forum down effective June 30, 2021. It has been a tough decision, but it is now time.


We want to thank all of our members for their participation and input over the years, and we want to especially thank those that have acted as Moderators for us during our amazing journey living and traveling in our RV and growing the RV-Dreams Family. We will be forever proud to have been founders of this Forum and to have been supported by such a wonderful community. Thank you all!!

1997 Belair Presidential

Does anyone know anything about this 5th wheel or the manufacturer? According to the ad it is 40' long, and has 2 slides. I have no idea of the quality that Belair put(s?) out or how difficult it would be to get parts. I appreciate any information.

Are you sure this is the brand name? Check and see who it is made by. I have heard of a Presidential but not Bel Air?

Thanks for the reply Speedy! That is what the advertisement said. I had never heard of it either but when I looked at some websites like rvt.com which let you search by manufacturer it shows Belair as a manufacturer. I just looked at "Belair" on the NADA website a couple of minutes ago and it says that after 1992 look at American Travel Systems. At least that gives me someplace else to look now. I am still very interested in hearing any information anyone here may have to supplement what I find elsewhere online. It looks like we will be getting whatever we get in April so I guess it is time to get down to business.

With all of the thousands, if not tens of thousands of used RV's available in the market today, does it make any sense to even consider a brand that nobody seems to have heard of and went out of business 15 years ago?

Just a thought.

I agree with Fred. Better to stick with well known brands...

Fred and Dan, I agree completely. I didn't know until now that nobody had heard of the brand. Until the last few weeks the last time I did any research into RV's was 1988 when I bought a travel trailer. I sold the trailer in 1993 and haven't owned an RV since. So I am pretty much a newbie at the stuff that is out now. I just stumbled across an add, the price was good and it wasn't very far away. I thought before I wasted my time driving out to look at it I would find out if it was a quality brand or not. I didn't find anything right away so I yelled help. I tried to call about it today and the phone had been disconnected so I guess the point is pretty moot now.
