Does anyone know of a newly manufactured fifth wheel that is no longer than 25 feet (end to end)? We bought a Terry 245L fifth wheel (25') in 2002 and have thourghly enjoyed our many travel adventures. Now 13 years later we would like to purchase a replacement rig and have not been able to find a small, new fifth wheel that will fit in my 26' driveway. Any names or links would be appreciated. Thx

The only one I know of is the 19 ft ScampNorthwoods has a Fox Mountain that is 27 ft. LinkAs short as a couple years ago there were several lines, but the trend is away from "small" rigs.

You might check and see if Lance is making a fifth wheel. Scamp is really small, I don't know how anyone can enjoy camping in that!Good luck!Fred.

Escape makes a 21' FW http://escapetrailer.com/trailers/the-5-0-escape/. Being fiberglass they are pricey for the size. Last I looked there is about an 8 month wait. Like the Scamps they are a niche market, too small for most.

In that size range, travel trailers make more sense. About the only advantage is the 5th wheel pulls a little nicer but the travel trailers are small enough that it's not a big issue. Plus with the reduced storage space, having the truck bed free to carry other stuff is a big advantage.This doesn't mean you don't have valid reasons for wanting one but that is likely why manufacturers aren't bothering with them.
