Are most 5th wheels 102" wide now?
I am continuing my education/search for a 5th wheel. Our last class A was 102" wide and I loved the extra width over the 96" units. I am interested in used units like the Open Range, Cedar creek, Mont...

Most = NO
Some = yes.
Major diff between the 102" MHs and a 5th being towed by a pickup
is side visibility to the rear. (Think - mirror "extension").
If the pickup was close(er) to the width of the trailer it would work well.
However - think of the mirror extension required for a standard pickup.
NOT that much of a consideration with an MDT or HDT - which would be pretty much "the norm" as a tow vehicle for the 102" (or 101") 5ths.
