Good size kitchen with 3 slides - any suggestions?

I am new to the forum and new to RV'ing. We are looking at the CruiserRV Enterra 316RKS TT but DH would prefer a 5th wheel. The reason we like the Enterra is the large kitchen, 3 slides & fairly modern decor (it's about $35K). It's just the two of us & dogs, so room to sleep 4 is plenty. GVWR on the Enterra is 10,970 (would prefer a little lighter). Any suggestions? I appreciate all opinions - thank you!

    What is the TV you will be towing with?

  • Look at the Silverback 29RE or RL. 35" 3 slides with Cathedral ceilings. We have the 29re and I was able to add a free standing island in the kitchen with lots of room left
  • CrossRoads RV CF 330SS or CF335SS fifth wheel. GVWR is higher than you want though 12,380.
  • Kitchen is something which will be used extensively. So its better you shop for it with patience. Prepare a detail description of your requirement and start looking for it.
  • Go look.... Shows, RV lots on line searches, RV trader. You need to spent time inside to get a feel of the RV model. So many options in what your looking for, and remember the online cabinet shops....
  • If you want a 5th wheel check out the Cruiser 305SK. We have the older (2010) 30SKP which is the same floor plan but the new ones have a flat floor in the bedroom.

    Large "L" shaped kitchen w/ Corian counter top on the Patriot edition. We love ours and usually camp with 4. The only thing I don't like is the short awning due to the slide on that side, but the DW loves the kitchen. Our dry weight is about 9,000 lbs. and just over 10,200 loaded.
  • We're form Canada and have a 36ft cougar fith wheel, 326. It is only sold up here but we love the size of the kitchen, it probably has a good 10 ft. Of counter space and a 22 inch oven. We are able to cook a 15 lb turkey in it It weighs under 10,000 lbs and when we bought it newi in 2010 it was under $37,000. Have added a 4k Onan Genny and solar since.
  • Check out the Palomino Sabre line. We liked a couple of them. Looking for a good size usable kitchen. Weight is reasonable. The 31CKTS and the 32RCTS are my favorites.
  • We were looking at the 30FK V Lite that had a large front kitchen double living room slide and a bedroom slide. Thought it was large and cool, decided that at 75 years, didn't want to buy something to be paying on until we're 90. JMHO
