Help...confused shopper
We are looking for a smaller fifth wheel. We have had a larger, heavier coach in the past. I had my decision narrowed down to the Grand Design, Reflection 29rs or KZ Durango 1500 d281rlt. But today...

We did ask...the dealer said they bought a larger coach...Durango Gold. One concern my husband has is the 15 in wheels. Do you know what size wheels the new ones have? Also, does your unit have auto level? The one we looked at did not, but I sure liked the king size bed!!
Our camper has 15" wheels and it does not have auto level. Although Forest River advertises their 5th wheels as having a "Custom King" size bed, it's really an Olympic Queen. 66" X 80" We liked the bed size also. It's plenty big enough but we couldn't find sheet sets locally and had to order two sets online.
One other thing I forgot to mention. If you end up buying the FR 286RL, I had a heck of a time trying to locate where you use the manual crank to operate both the front landing gear and the bedroom slide if it were to ever become necessary. I found the hole for the crank to fit through for the landing gear in the small battery compartment. It was being used as a pass through for battery cables to where the 2nd battery would be housed in the front storage compartment. The location for the bedroom slide is under the bed and accessed by removing a small section of wood floor that's held in by 4 screws.
