5th wheel recommendations

hallo folks
I’m planning to buy a new 5th wheel trailer.
There are a lot of brands and models on the market, so I need an advice from specialists like you.
Here is what I am looking for: 30 to 32 ft. max, 2 or better 3 slideouts, loading capacity at least 2,000 lbs., no bunks. Will tow with a 2012 F250 XLT (long bed). New or used up to 35k Dollar. Tks for your recommendations.

  • Buy a one ton. You will not regret that decision.
    As for fivers lots of choices. North woods are good but heavy. Also check out Forest River brands
  • Look at Northwood Arctic Fox. They are a small company but make excellent products and stand behind them. I have one which was made in 2006 (it is a 2007 model) and we have have great service out of it. Northwood makes their own frames and they last. Check them out and I think you will be happy. Of course there are a lot of models out on the market, but it boils down to the dealer and manufacturer and who stands behind their products.
