Best Used 5th wheel 26' or less

How old? Alpenlite was made in Washington. Very well built. My 27sl 1994 is still solid at 20 yrs old.

Go a little bigger, you wont' regret it. Get the Artic Fox. wish we had them on the east coast.

There have (to my knowledge) been several Arctic Fox 5ers under 26 ft (model)

There was the 19-5L, center kitchen, almost no storage, weekend only rig. Stopped production in...2009(?)

There was the 21-5P(?) similar to the 19

There was the 23-5A, almost the same layout as the 24-5N, except no slideout.

The 26-5C was a center kitchen, single slide out unit, they stopped production in about 04

There was a 25-5??? that I think stopped production in the 90s. It was a bunk-house unit

Then there was the 24-5N which only stopped production in 2012. It was a rear kitchen, single slide out unit.
We owned one for a decade. For small rigs it had the most storage of any small 5er I ever saw. The main closet was huge. Plus under storage for both the dinner table and couch. They also had a cargo capacity (depending on model year) of between 3000 and 4000 lbs, with a total max weight of 11,000 lbs

We are getting ready to step up to a newer 5th. Largest we can go is 26'. Desire rear kitchen. Want slide.

This is a loaded question as everyone has their likes and dislikes but what is the best built unit for around $10-20K?

I have been told Arctic Fox, Cougar, etc. Any honest help here would be very much appreciated!

We live in the Seattle area (just for reference)

Thanks!

Why with an F350, are you limiting yourself to a 26' 5er?

We have a 26SAB Cougar 5th wheel. While it certainly is not top of the line, we do love it. It does not have a rear kitchen, but does have a complete bathroom instead of shower or sink in the bedroom and we like that. I don't know if it measures 26 ft. My guess is is that it may be longer. Good luck with your search.
