Fifth Wheel Suggestions
First time user here. Looking to trade in current rig for newer one. I've done extensive research so far, but have only found a few units of what I'm looking for.
Tow Vehicle - 2015 Silverado 2500 HD 4WD 6.0L Gas Standard Box 4:10 Ratio
Criteria:
1) Front Living Room - Our family loves this "residential" style setup and having the master bed in the rear.
2) Weight - Would like to have this rig on the lighter side. I'm thinking under 11,000 pounds dry. Yes, I know I'm pushing my luck here, but I did find a couple around 9,500-10,500.
3) Length - This is the biggie. We would like a unit that's in the 36-38' range. 38' is likely the max we would go with. Again, from the research I've done, this really limits me. Most are easily 41'-43'.
4) Storage - Need plentiful storage, preferably a full pass through area. Again, this is where I see the trade offs of a FL unit. Some storage underneath the rear bedroom slide would be nice. Some models have this.
5) Hydraulic/Auto Leveling
6) Power Awning/ LED Accents
7) Rerfrigerator with >10 cu. ft. Usually this would be one with two doors opening to the side. 6.0 cu. ft. doesn't cut it for us anymore.
8) One Step down from "Luxury" or "Full Profile" - we don't need the big country, bighorns, cardinals, etc. trying to look at one step model down, trying to find the MSRP in the $50,000-$60,00 MSRP.
Units I've found so far
Jayco Eagle 339FLQS - Storage is absolutely pitiful underneath, otherwise love it
Coachmen Chaparral 390QSMB - love the second queen bunk, but a little long
Keystone Cougar 337FLS - my favorite unit I've seen so far
Keystone Sprinter Wide Body 334FWFLWS - similar tot he cougar, strong candidate.
