Looking for recomendation

I plan on doing a lot of traveling from Alaska to Florida and Canada. I need a fifth wheel that can withstand the rigors of the Alcan Highway and rough roads. Also I am looking for the largest unit that can be towed by a 1 ton SRW truck. I think air suspension and disk brakes are a must not to mention a strong frame and decent construction of the unit with good insulation. Anyone got some good recommendations. I plan on attending the Tampa RV show this week to look over the units and determine the flexibility of the manufacturers to add what I want at the factory rather than have a dealer installation.

    Running back and forth multiple times on the Alcan Highway and rough roads....no rig will come out unscathed.

    A good tool box and spare parts are in order.

    If you want factory modifications done, I would humbly suggest talking to the manufacturers directly. AFAIK, only dealers will be at the Tampa show and I suspect they'll tell you anything to get your deposit.
