01 What makes it unique
The 35RKS takes the rear-kitchen idea up a size: the same ‘RKS’ residential galley across the back wall, a mid living area and a front bedroom, but stretched to 36 feet 10 and configured to sleep six on three slide-outs — a rear-kitchen coach that still works for a family rather than only a couple. Alliance highlighted the 35RKS among Avenue’s 2026 updates.
The build is the full Avenue package: 101-inch wide-body construction with Azdel composite sidewalls inside and out, a PVC lifetime-warranty roof, a 16-cubic-foot 12-volt refrigerator, Alliance’s industry-leading tanks, the Performance Running Gear package and the OTG 400-watt solar package, with a king bed and up to three 13,500-BTU air conditioners available on the regular trim. Alliance publishes a 14,995-pound GVWR against the 11,300-pound dry weight, leaving a 3,695-pound cargo capacity and a 2,400-pound dry pin, with 98/106/53-gallon tanks. At a starting MSRP around $105,000, with street pricing below placard, the 35RKS is the family-sized rear-kitchen Avenue for buyers who want the residential rear galley and room to sleep six in a mid-profile coach towed with a one-ton truck.

Towing it
Loaded range: 15–25% of GVWR on the pin, a rule of thumb, not a measurement of this unit. No truck ratings or hitch classes (why; NHTSA, DOT HS 809 433). The range starts at the published dry figure, because loaded is never lighter than dry.
03 The Avenue floorplan family
Avenue is Alliance RV's mid-profile fifth wheel — the residential fifth-wheel idea from the luxury Paradigm a step down in height, weight and price, and a cross-shop against Grand Design's Reflection, Keystone's Cougar and Jayco's Eagle. The 2026 line runs to nine floorplans; the six profiled in full are linked below and the three catalogued plans are shown muted. The 35RKS on this page is highlighted.
| Floorplan | Nominal | Sleeps | Notable |
|---|---|---|---|
| 28BH | 32 ft | 6 | Bunkhouse, dual entry, lightest in line |
| 298RL | 34 ft | 4 | Rear living (lighter tier) |
| 33RKS | 34 ft | 4 | Rear kitchen, biggest cargo of its pair |
| 32RLS | 34 ft | 4 | Rear living, three slides |
| 35RKS | 36 ft | 6 | Rear kitchen, sleeps six |
| 332RL | 37 ft | 4 | Rear living (lighter tier) |
| 333BH | 38 ft | 4 | Bunkhouse (lighter tier) |
| 38DBL | 41 ft | 5 | Double/bunk, dual entry, sleeps five |
| 39MBR | 41 ft | 5 | Mid-bedroom, four slides, heaviest |
Avenue is Alliance RV's mid-profile fifth wheel — the residential fifth-wheel idea from the luxury Paradigm a step down in height, weight and price. The 2026 line runs to nine floorplans; the six broadest-appeal layouts are profiled here in full and the remaining three are catalogued from published specifications below. Every Avenue is 101-inch wide-body construction with Azdel composite sidewalls inside and out, a PVC roof with a lifetime warranty, a 16-cubic-foot 12-volt refrigerator (the lighter 28BH carries a 10-cubic-foot unit), Alliance's industry-leading tank sizes, the Performance Running Gear package and an OTG solar package with a 400-watt panel and a 40-amp MPPT controller; a second and third 13,500-BTU air conditioner and a king bed are standard on the regular trim, and a lighter Avenue All-Access value trim (single air conditioner, 200-watt solar, no standard king) is offered alongside it. Hitch weight, GVWR, dry weight and CCC are published per plan and each plan's dry weight plus CCC equals its GVWR exactly. Dry weight is a factory estimate; real loaded pin weights run higher — always weigh the loaded coach and confirm against your truck's payload and rear-axle ratings.
04 Notes on this floorplan
Rear kitchen, sleeps six
The residential rear galley of the 33RKS in a longer body configured to sleep six — a rear-kitchen plan sized for a family.
A 2026 featured plan
Alliance called out the 35RKS among Avenue’s 2026 updates — the larger rear-kitchen layout in the refreshed line.
Heavier tier, one-ton territory
A 14,995-pound GVWR on a 2,400-pound pin — a step up from the 33RKS and firmly a one-ton tow.
Match a one-ton truck
A 14,995-pound-GVWR fifth wheel with a 2,400-pound pin — confirm a properly rated one-ton truck’s payload and rear-axle rating.
05 How it compares
Grand Design’s rear-kitchen Reflection — a mid-profile cross-shop in the same length class.
Jayco’s Eagle — a comparable mid-to-full-profile fifth wheel with a rear galley.
The shorter rear-kitchen Avenue — lighter, a 13,995-pound GVWR and sleeps four.
06 Loading it for a trip
A full 98-gallon fresh tank is about 817 lb of water (water counts as cargo: 49 CFR 571.120 S10.4.2), 22% of the 35RKS’s 3,695 lb cargo capacity, leaving 2,878 lb (480 lb per rated berth). Across 6 Avenue floorplans the water share runs 20% to 31%, and 3 give up more than this one. Nearest on that share: Avenue 33RKS at 22% and Avenue 38DBL at 23%. Your own unit’s figure is on the label inside its entry door (49 CFR 571.120 S10.4.3).

11 NHTSA safety record
NHTSA holds 6 recall campaigns and 4 owner complaints against the Avenue line. They are counted separately: a recall is a confirmed defect with a remedy, a complaint one owner’s unverified account.
Too few reports to show a pattern. 4 complaints have been filed on this line — not enough to say what fails most often. They cover equipment, parking brake, structure and suspension.
Recall coverage here is not complete, and complaints are owners’ unverified reports (how this record is built). Check a specific VIN at NHTSA before you buy. Full tables are on the Avenue line page.
