Could someone define the acronyms of 5th wheel models?

There seems to be so many.
RETS, REQS, FBTS, FLSA, KPTS.
That is just to name a few from Jayco. I am sure there are many many more.
I assume F means front and R means rear. E is entry? Q probably means Queen bed.
A little help would be appreciated.

    Now that's funny.
  • When I try to decipher our Jayco 28.5 RLTS, ours is a Rear Living, Triple Slide whether correct or not it fits and that's my story and I am sticking to it.
  • BB_TX Great info... thks.
    Ours is a 2014 Cougar 327 RES
    R - rear
    E - entertainment
    S - ???? likely slide(s)

    327 is not the outside length as ours is just under 37 feet long...
    hum... I should measure the inside floor space... we have a front closet so it may be 32' 7" floor space excluding the closet and rear TV entertainment centre cabinet???

  • My NorthRidge is a 322RLT - 322 square feet, Rear Livingroom, Triple slide.

    I bet it is. Maybe it's because it later in the day or it's one of those senior things, I've tried to figure it out and can't. Am I the only one? Ok, take your shot. If someone can explain it to me even if you have to leave a blank for the dirty words.
  • The numeric value seems to have no actual meaning other than the larger the number the longer the trailer in comparison to RV's in the same family by the same manufacturer.

    My own 5'ers model is 26FWRKS. It's 29', fifth wheel, rear kitchen with fridge and pantry on the slide.

    It depends on the manufacturer.

    As an example for Jayco

    RLTS = Rear Living triple Slide
    RLDS = Rear Living Double Slide
    FLQS = Front Living Quad Slide
    RLS = Rear Living Slide (1 slide)
    FK = front Kitchen

    Just a few.
