I'm looking at 5th wheels in the 36'-42' range. I have seen MANY different brands. I'm looking at 2010 or newer units.
I want something quality. I will be living in it full time going to grad school in Florida. It is just me, not married and no kids.
What are the better built name brands?
I will most likely get rid of my 03 F350 4x4 DRW Diesel 6spd and get a Retired HDT. So I don't need to be talked to about weights. I'm a farm boy, 26 years old and have been pulling trailers and backing them since I was about 12.
My 5th wheel budget is $40k +- a few
I want something that I can pull out onto 100 acres and live in while I have the house built. So it needs to last 5-7 years min. What options should really be standard? I'm new at 5th wheels, just doing some research before I fork over $40k
Thanks
Dusty
Seems like money is important, therefore make sure the brand you buy is still in business. Neer ever buy orphans! Many so called high end models were not selling for lots of reasons, inability to compete being main reason and therefore went bottoms up. Yet it must be said, they are at fires sale prices. Go look for yourself. As long as you realize they are trailers, not foundation models, you will see the differences in quality. Good hunting!
So your advice to him would be to pass on Carriage Cameos or Carrilites and to go ahead and buy a Montana cuz they're still in business? That's not very good advice.:h
