Great older fifth wheels

2004 carriage camio

We had a 2004 WildCat - a very middle of the road grade of TT that we traded in on our current Arctic Fox.
Much of the quality of the Wildcat was actually a lot better. the "house" frame was far superior although the chassis frame was just OK. Build quality throughout was better and I believe more attention was paid to the work done.

Another poster on here commented to me that RV built before and after the recession are totally different animals and I believe that is a valid point.

Still happy with my 2002 Gulf Stream Sea Hawk. Bought it new and has many miles on it. Storing it in doors helps.

What are the best websites to use to find the value of an older 5th wheel? Anything better then KBB?

2001 35ft Alpenlite Avalon RK. Have used it 6 months each year since we bought it new . Never wanted to get another on as this one will do us to the end ofour rving days. Get a lot of great comments on it.

I wouldn’t trade my ‘04 Teton for any two of the new units manufacturered today...with the exception of a New Horizons!

We would still be using our 2005 Wildcat 5er if not for the need to have another bunk. We even modified that one to add the third bunk, but it was only a bandaid. It was a solid unit. Sold to a friend who still uses it and loves it. No leaks, well built, quiet A/C, all systems work.

We still have and use our 2008 Montana on a monthly basis !! Good Luck and Happy Camping !!

I have a 2004 Fleetwood 29BH that has served me well over the years. Never any major problems - only routine maintenance needed. I also bought a 2005 Forest River Wildcat last summer for $1000. The original owner said the slide was messed up and he didn't want to mess with it. A $3 o-ring, some hydraulic oil, and a new set of tires later and I have a gorgeous 28RK. It looks new on the inside and out. I use one for my fly fishing HQ in northern Michigan and the other on my summer get-away/deer hunting property on the west side of the state.

We had a Sunnybrook fiver for 14 years. We went across country with it and travelled in most of the lower southwestern states. It was a great unit BUT when I retired I got a wild hair and thought I wanted a Class A. I sold it and bought a 40 foot dp. While the motorhome was ok we missed the room in a fiver and really could not see the advantage of it. So we sold that and now have the fiver in my sig. We have several thousand miles on it now and I am happy to report no problems. I had the awning led lights replaced and a new on board water pump but that is it. I did a lot of research before purchasing the fiver as this will be my last one.

Our Sunnybrook was a 2002.
