01 What makes it unique
The 38DBL is Avenue’s big dual-entry family plan: a ‘DBL’ double/bunk layout with two entry doors, three slide-outs and a full 106-gallon black tank, sleeping five in a 41-foot-11 body. Two doors and a dedicated bunk-and-bath zone make it the Avenue for a family that wants separation between the bedroom and the kids’ space in a full-size coach.
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 — here the largest black tank in the profiled line at 106 gallons — 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 15,995-pound GVWR against the 12,400-pound dry weight, leaving a 3,595-pound cargo capacity and a 2,400-pound dry pin, with 98/106/106-gallon tanks. At a starting MSRP around $105,000, with street pricing below placard, the 38DBL is the dual-entry family Avenue for buyers who want two doors and a big holding-tank package in a full-size mid-profile coach towed with a one-ton truck.

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 38DBL 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 What owners & reviewers report
Dual entry, double/bunk layout
A ‘DBL’ two-door plan with three slides and a dedicated bunk-and-bath zone, sleeping five — separation for a family.
Biggest holding tanks in the line
A 106-gallon black tank (with 98 fresh and 106 grey) is the largest tank package in the profiled Avenue group — long stays between dumps.
Full-size, one-ton coach
At 41 feet 11 inches and a 15,995-pound GVWR it is one of the two longest Avenues and firmly one-ton territory.
Match a one-ton truck
A 15,995-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 Reflection — the direct dual-entry family cross-shop in the mid-profile tier.
Keystone’s Cougar — a comparable full-size family fifth wheel with a bunk zone.
The other 42-foot Avenue — four slides and a mid-bedroom suite instead of the dual-entry bunk layout.
