My wife and I are about to take the plunge and purchase a 5th wheel for our retirement to ourselves. Any input as to which manufactures/models are a waste of money as to which ones are a great buy; ...
Floor plans are important but if you are going to be on the road a lot I would concentrate on the structural components. Our last fiver was a good mid-price rig and we liked, but did have some frame problems. This go around I picked a company that made the frames in house and are well built, my wife picked the floor plan and decoration she wanted and we have been please with our present trailer.
Our roads put lots of stress on RV's.
Do take a look at the Lifestyle; they are a well-built rig.
