5th Wheel Reliability

Unlike he auto industry that tends to have a vast database to pull reliability and quality information from. The Camper industry seems to be wide open for opinion. with that being said I'm trying to get feedback on 5th wheel manufacturers that tend to have a more reliable product. I've spoke to a number of RV Stores and of course they all have the best product. So far I have had a 17ft Jayco Hybrid and a 36ft Keystone Laredo (both with little to no issues). We are looking to upgrade to a 5th wheel and looking for some input on brands. Some that we have looked at are Laredo, Montana and Cougar (by Keystone), Crusader (by Primetime), Sabre (by Palomino) and Jayco.

Thank you in advance.

    I was trying to stay away from Economy as some sites list them but stay more in the mid affordable range and avoid "Luxury."

    You get what you pay for. Expensive ones are almost always better quality than the less expensive. The one's your looking at are mid-range and the quality is about the same.

    I'm just trying to see if there is a consensus on some that may stand out above the rest.

    Arctic Fox seems to get high ratings. Personally my Cedar Creek has been extremely reliable in the nine years of its life. Your going to get lots of "mine is best" comments from people with questions like this.
