2023 Eagle 355 MBQS vs 2023 North Point 377 FLBH

We have been camping for the past two years in a travel trailer with 2 teenagers and 3 dogs. Realizing we should have just bought a 5th wheel to start we are now shopping for an upgrade.

We can't decide between the 355 MBQS or the 377 FLBH. There are two things we're hung up on, first the price difference. Are the upgrades of the North Point worth it? The second is the storage. In the Eagle there is "coffee bar" area in the kitchen, but in the North Point that is where the entrance to the bunk house is located. My wife is concerned that we won't have enough storage in the North Point for kitchen gadgets.

Thank you in advance for your input!

We are in the same boat, we have decided to go with the 355mbqs mainly because I will not tow the north point with a SRW truck (even though I know someone who does with an F250) and my wife does not want to change truck. However even if I had a DRW I would still personally prefer the 355mbqs because of the counter space and coffee station in it. There are some improvements for the north point, Josh the RV nerd made a video to highlight the differences between the 2 https://youtu.be/JDaC06kyWeM

I have a 2019 355mbqs and don't regret it. Coffee station was one of our pros on the pros and cons list. Also, on the 355, with all slides closed you can still get in the bunkroom. On the NP not sure if you can do that with them closed. We tow with a 2018 Ram 3500 SRW and love how it tows. Good luck!

Walk through both. The bunkhouse ceiling is higher in the 355mbqs and the hallway between Bedroom and Kitchen is 2 inches wider in 355mbqs. We were going to go with Pinnacle or North Point until we walked thru all 3. We went with the 355mbqs.

My advice ... if the wife thinks that there will not be enough storage space in the North Point, then what she is really saying is there is NOT enough space in the North Point. You're safe to upgrade to the Eagle 355.

Have the Eagle, sister has the NP, both 2023’s. The mid bunk entrance (and how it affected kitchen storage) was deciding factor. Both are great and I pocketed 20K. 355MBQS for me. Can’t go wrong either way.

Having wrestled with that decision ourselves prior to purchasing our 377RLBH, I was going to reply to this thread.

But then noting that OP was a one and done, I decided he really didn't want the answer since he never came back. So I decided not to reply.



For us, my wife loved the shower and I wanted the hydraulic leveling system. The rest of the differences are really lipstick on a pig, IMHO. But DW really wanted the 377 so we went with the 377.

Seeing how happy she is in it makes it money well spent to me.
