.............. We have a 2005 Chevy 2500 diesel to tow with. We were not planning on this purchase so I would like to keep the cost as low as possible but am wary of the low end 5th wheels. Are they as cheaply made as they seem when walking into them? WE looked at Keystone Hideout 5th Wheel this past weekend as well as a Puma 5th Wheel.
The 2005 2WD Crew-Cab I just sold had 2815# payload capacity and I was close to max with two people, a 9600# 27' Sunnybrook fiver, a 52 gallon fuel tank, Line-X spray-in liner and a Retrax cargo box cover.
I doubt you will find much over 30' that you can tow within ratings.
Whether that is a concern is your call.
