Eclipse Attitude

There's no accounting for taste, wants, and needs--lol! We love those high cupboards! We have so many items we only use a few times a year, so we stow those items up and out of the way---nice not having this stuff get in the way of stuff we use everyday. We also fell in love with the shower in our Triton. It's a near residential size shower. We've seen the same shower in 150k-200k motorhomes.

One of the biggest reasons we went with the Triton was the 50a service, 2nd a/c, and the Onan 5500. At the time we were looking all the smaller Eclipse, Genesis, and Forest River 5th wheel toy haulers were priced the same as the Triton and only had 30a service, an Onan 4000, and one a/c. Here in the desert SW it's near impossible for one a/c to cool-down a 30-32 ft. 5th wheel when it's 110-115 degrees out.

We are looking for the exact same thing, small fifth wheel toy hauler. My wife and I actually prefer some of the features of the eclipse better than shockwave/sandstorm/stealth. There's more useable drawers in the kitchen and the bedroom has a bigger closet, rest is the same except it's 500 pounds lighter. The downside is there is no local dealer around Spokane for eclipse. In addition, if you Google eclipse attitude, many frame issues, some were taken care of by them. I'm guessing this has been fixed by now, but that does make me Leary.

So we are going to look at a shockwave 28 tomorrow, which is 32 feet. I currently own a shockwave bumper pull and it's been perfect. My brothers 2017 has been in the shop more than he's had it. I think all brands are like that unfortunately.

Good luck, let us know what you go with.

Like every brand, some love 'em, some don't.

We were looking at smaller (30-32 ft.) 5th wheel toy haulers (Eclipse, Genesis, Forest River, etc.) early last year. We were about to pull the trigger on an Eclipse when we looked at some Voltage Tritons. They offer excellent value if you can find a dealer that's discounting them. Their quality, IMO, is very much on-par with anything else out there.

Good luck!
