Looking to get into fifth wheel camping
My family and I are looking to purchase a fifth wheel. We are looking at campers between 2013 and new. We have a budget of around $45k. I was wondering what brands to look at for a quality built unit ...

We are looking for a model with a bunkhouse, I would say between 37'-45' long. It would be for my wife, 9 yr old daughter, myself and a 90lb American Bulldog. Maybe a friend of my daughters too. We went to the RV show in Hershey last year and we were hoping to get one before the next show in September.
IMO, you're going to have weight issues if you're looking at rigs that long, especially if you settle on a higher-end unit. Quality = weight. NEVER consider "dry" pin weight and figure about 20-25% of the FW's GVW as a "worst case" pin weight. If your truck can't handle it, then downsize the FW or upsize the truck.
