Fifth wheel question

Hi, i am just getting back in the fifth wheel game. I know this is an opinion based question but what is a good quality 5th wheel for the money? I do not mind if it cost more if the quality is there. Any insight in matter would be apprecited.

  • We ended up going with a DRV Mobile Suites. It's a heavier 5er with lots of storage, independent suspension and disc brakes. They're heavier because construction is very good and insulation R values are quite high. We're full timing in ours.

  • When the wife and I decided it was time to trade the TT for FW, we went to shows and dealerships in our area to get an idea of what it out there. Also, you can go to the manufacturer's websites and get a lot of information on how the units are built. In the end, we went with a Jayco Pinnacle FW for our money. A key thing for us was Jayco's 2 year warranty. All the other manufacturer's only offered 1 year. Keep in mind the warranty on appliances and electronics is with the manufacturer of those components and NOT the RV manufacturer. So make sure the components in your RV are also from quality manufacturers.
  • Would be easier to answer who makes the best diesel tow vehicle! That really is a tough question as quality is subjective. Best to do some footwork and tour as many as you can!
