I am in the sad process of selling my truck camper to come to the dark side of 5th wheels. We have already selected the 5th wheel, Keystone Cougar 244RL. We want short and this 26'9" overall length ...
I've had my Husky 16K Slider for 11 years with no problems whatsoever. My Cardinal is in the 10K+/- while towing and have been through mountains east & west and from MI to FL and back a couple of times. I've never used the slider feature yet. I'm looking for another 5th wheel, likely a bit longer and heavier, and plan to keep the hitch for the next one.
Also, it's easy to put in and take out when I need the space in my pickup.
