90's era fifth wheels....what brand do you like?

Nash and Arctic Fox (both built by Northwood) seem to get good reports all around. I've owned neither but I'm going to look at a used Nash this weekend. They build their own frames, very heavy duty intended for dirt-road use, and are 4-season rated.

Not sure where you're located, but if near Kansas I'd strongly recommend looking at the NuWa factory/service center in Chanute. We just picked up a 2005 Discover America there. As the manufacturers they are familiar with NuWa, they went through the unit and appear to have replaced many items (slide rubber, step box, awning, toilet, pin box, etc). Though not new, we are very comfortable the unit we took home is in good shape.

Besides, the people there are very nice to work with and gave us a good trade on our previous TT. I know they carry other brands than NuWa as well, but obviously they specialize in NuWa.

Good luck in your search, you seem to have narrowed down the list to higher end units that should serve you well as long as they were cared for by the previous owner.

If you are not concerned with weight I would look at Teton...

I have a 1996 38ft Nuwa Hitchhicker Champagne Edition w/ 3 slides, and I love it but am actually selling it. It has all the amenities you could ever ask for and yet still an older camper that has been taken good care of. If you would be interested send me a message. I just pulled it out of the building for the first time since winter this weekend and it got pretty dusty so Ill be cleaning it in the next couple days.

At that age, who took care of it, and how well, matters more then who made it.
I once saw a 20year old Fleetwood that looked like it had just rolled off the show-room floor.
I also have seen a three year old New Horizon (which I would argue is better then your list) that was trashed to the point where it was on a no-name bargain RV dealer's lot.

I really like the Avion Fivers and the Jayco seems to be pretty well made.

But in that age it's really more about the owner than the manufacturer.

Thanks!

i have not seen alfa listings, will have to be aware of those as well, thanks for letting me know that one!!!!

Alpenlite hands down. Ther were quality before the likes of Mobile Suites ever existed.

Friends had a King of The Road 1989 model 38 footer with one slide out. It held up well, they put a lot of miles on it.

We currently have a 1994 Alfa See-ya 37 foot with two slides. We bought it new and chose it because it had a lot of the options higher end models had. Plus it is very roomy and well laid out. Lots of storage both inside and outside.

No major problems just the kind of stuff you would expect. It still looks new inside and out. We use it about once per month along with a 3 month stay in it every summer.
