Downsize to short 5th wheel

We have decided it is time to downsize our RV. We presently have an Alfa 32RLIK (33')which we have had for 10 years. We have traveled about 50,000 miles and seen most of the US. We have lived in it up to 6 months without a divorce, so must get along. It is pulled with a 2500HD diesel/allison which we will keep. It will be for just the two of us, possibly with an occasional visit by granddaughters.

We are looking for a smaller 5th wheel to use for trips of 2-6 weeks. I have looked and there seem to be few 5th wheel trailers in the 20-24' range available. We would like at least one slideout and a bed that is not 'camper type'. We are more interested in quality than a low price.

What suggestions do you have? So far I have not found anything that fits. It seems that the manufacturers are more interested in putting 6-10 people in 35'.(Could this be a niche market?)
