Advice on Light weight 5th wheel

My wife and I are looking for a new light weight 5th wheel, to be towed by my 03 3/4 dodge cummins. We have owned a hybrid since 2010 but now want to upgrade. I'm looking for advice on what to look for in a 5th. Light weight and good quality, is that possible? Which brands are considered top of the line, average and below average?

We looked at the Cougar 301 CAB and the similar Flagstaff Classic Super lite 8528BHWS. We like the floor plan with a smaller bunkhouse and bathroom off of it. Anybody have anything similar that you would recommend?

Any advice would be appreciated. We are in CT. Thanks in advance.

Paul

    Our Crossroads Cruiser weighs in at about 5700 lb dry. We appreciate the quality.

    Light weight and quality do not always come together in an RV. Looking new or used? Budget? You have enough truck to tow the likes of a 25 foor Arctic Fox with little difficulty. Probably one of the better quality fivers on the market. But not light hy any means.
