Which manufacturers would you all consider to be the BEST of the best in 5th Wheels? We're looking for the comforts of home in a 5th wheel for full-timing. Four season, several slides, full size refrig, w/d, ideally a computer desk, all the hot water we want (tankless?), etc.We'd also prefer manufacturers that have been around long enough that we can pick up a used model and save some money.Thanks!

New Horizons, Spacecraft, Teton, Newmar, not necessarily in that order. If you plan on going with one of those plan on a truck that can handle it - in most cases quality = weight

New Horizons, DRV and Excel would be great choices for full time use.

My original hope was that a Chevy 3500 Diesel Crew Cab Long Bed would be perfect... But if I need to go bigger, I can. Nothing has been purchased yet.

Continental Coach by Forks RV...Nothing else will come close. All custom built, you said you wanted the best. Should be able to get a nice one for about $500,000.If you want the best of the best they ain't cheap.B.O.
