Looking for a Good, Solid, Short New Fiver

We thought long and hard about trading our old 2003 Titanium 33' fifth wheel for a short diesel motor home. After getting input on the motor home forum, and looking on-line, decided we're probably better off getting a new fiver. We're getting older, but better(!), and our backs, knees and shoulders are frequently tight and sore, so we want to get an RV that is easier to set up. We want automatic leveling, remote starting generator, power awning, washer / dryer, and whatever else will make our camping less physical! We also want double pane windows, efficient insulation, a low maintenance roof (prefer fiberglass), real fiberglass exterior walls, etc. Its mostly just my wife of 45 years and me, but there will be a few times when we'll bring along 2 or 3 of our grandchildren, so we will need 3 beds. A bunk house might work out. Most that we have checked out on-line have 3 slides which is fine, but they must be reliable. We have had lots of problems with the one slide on our Titanium and just don't want to go through that again. We have a 2500HD Duramax, and don't want to exceed GVWR, maybe 13k max dry. Will consider any fiver that meet these and are within our budget of $99k. Will appreciate any help.
