Hi! My DH & I are wanting to hear from anyone that owns one of these 5th wheels. Been looking around and we cant find one of these models anywhere close to us to go thru. Just wanting to know your lik...

I thought I would chime in with a few things since you are in consideration for full timing in a few years. Our fifth wheel is an Arctic Fox 27-5L which is a similar floor plan to the Jayco 293RKDS. the length of ours is about 6' shorter than the Jayco. We moved from longer rear kitchen Komfort and was looking at a shorter length.
We really like the living room area on ours. For TV viewing is straight on instead of at an angle, with the corner kitchen layout, our trailer has a larger feeling compared to our previous rear kitchen. It's good having the fridge closer to the wheels for let's jostling around when traveling. We opted for a booth dinette instead of chairs and a table which works well for sleeping when we have grandkids along.
While ours is prepped for a generator, having a Honda 2000is portable we opted to not have one included. Instead, I installed solar and am about to install an inverter. When done will have spent about the same $$ but won't have the sound of a generator when boondocking except if we get to a shaded area or days of clouds.
Hope it helps even though ours isn't a Jayco. For full timing the bedroom in the Jayco is probably better in size, fwiw.
