5th wheel quality compared to early 2000’s?
I haven’t shopped for a new 5th whee in years. I have an 05 Jayco Eagle that I have had since new. Back then Jayco was a good company and Carriage and many others were building good quality trailers. ...

My 08 Citation has a better undercarriage then my 03 Citation had but other than that it is the same mediocre quality. In spite of being mediocre I think Citation built a better 5th wheel than many manufacturers..... maybe that's why they went out of business. A lot of people complain about the junk being manufactured but few are willing to pay for quality so the high end manufacturers have nearly all been shut down. I was hoping to purchase a new Continental Coach in a few years and was very disappointed to hear they shutdown. I think New Horizon makes a fairly decent fiver. Mobile Suite or Luxe might be good enough and better value? Based on my Citation's dry weight of 13k for a length of 36 feet I wouldn't want anything any lighter.
