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 ...

Just because you can does not mean you should. I am also looking to move up to a 5th wheel.
I have been looking for a couple of years and will probably stick with the TT for a while longer. What I have found, is that there is one out there that will feel right. You just have to look at a lot of others to find it.
Check Trailer Life web site for towing guides and look at the GVWR (Dry plus Cargo weights) of the 5th wheel (Sticker on street side). Stay under the max your truck can tow.
All good advice. I have seen too many posts on here about folks who jump into a 5er without much research or browsing units. They can't wait to buy and end up with a poor fit for their needs. Then they have buyers remorse about a either a poorly chosen 5er or an overmatched TV.
