Advice for a short Premium Fifth Wheel
Any advice? Looking for a true 4 season trailer with good tank sizes built on a high quality frame and construction. Weight is not an issue but would like to stay at under 30 feet.

I'm with you; more mfrs need +/-30' OAL high-quality FWs.

Agree, but the market must not demand it. Looking at the big surge in class B vans like Roadtrek (see these things everywhere) and people looking for smaller RV's to get into more remote spots mabye that will change.
The trailer in my signature is 30 ft. and meets the above description. Carriage introduced it as a high end small 5er and the MSRP approached 6 figures in 2008. It lasted two years. Might have been the financial crash or the market wouldn't support it. I know I wouldn't pay that kind of money for it even in 2017 dollars with the competition now days.
Dunno, but a month doesn't go by without at least one person looking for a high-quality +/-30' FW... My #1 choice is right at 32'; my #2 is 31'. I can live with either, but I'll likely need to be sure to have a saw and ladder with me for branch trimming to get into my favorite spots. :-)
