5th wheeling, any regrets????
Hi All! We are exploring our options when I retire in January. One of them, the one I am most geeked about is purchasing a fifth wheel rig. We have a park home that we can summer in in Homer Mich...

Can you recommend a good model for a first timer like us? Don't want to go any larger than a 29 footer to start with.
Thanks,
My advice would be find the floorplan you like - that was "someone's baby"? Ours was a Keystone Laredo 28'RE and it was perfect for the two of us! The lady we bought it from took incredible care of it; and so did we (which is probably why it sold in under 12 hours....) Personally, I like the forward kitchen because it put the majority of added weight (food/beverages/cookware) in the middle of the trailer. Ours pulled like a dream. But if you are really into cooking - a rear-kitchen model gives you more space. Our 5er was a "mid-profile" - not quite as tall as other models - which meant that 6'3" Ed was going to bump his head on the ceiling of the bedroom if he didn't remember to duck - but in theory, got slightly better mpg by having less wind resistance?
The only thing I didn't like about ours (a 2003 model) was the short pass-through storage. I had to carry my inflatable kayak (about the size of a large duffle bag) stuffed in the dinette.
