Lightweight FW
Ok I know this is subjective but I am looking at my first 5 wheel. Tell me about lightweights, do they actually hold up. Any brands or models that are better than any other long Term?
Thanks,
Thanks,

My BIL uses his Phoenix about 8 weekends per year and is fairly happy with it. It is a pretty cheap light rv. My Citation is about as light as I would want....15500 lbs gvwr with a curb weight around 13000 lbs. It seems as though most people prefer buying junk and saving money as opposed to spending the bucks on quality.....therefore there is only about two quality 5th wheel manufacturers left in business.

Sorry about that. Intended use is 5-6 trips per year. Probably about 4 weeks use per year.

What's your intended use? 5th-Wheels are generally better for making one or two trips a year and staying parked the rest of the time. Snow bird style. The Keystone Light Weight line would be adequate for that style of RVing.
Have heard some complaints about how cheaply they are made.
