New Fifth Wheels

So I'm trying to stay under $50,000.00 for a new 5er and have some questions. I've looked hard at the Heartland Elkridge and Silverado and the Montana Mountaineer. Looking at their bunkhouse models and the Montana being the most expensive. Another one that keeps popping up is the Forest River Sandpiper.

I haven't been able to walk thru any of these yet but they look nice. Over on the heartland forum I got all good talk about them. I've seen the Mountaineer with the 6 point level.

I currently have a Cardinal 40 foot bunkhouse 2006 but like all the new upgrades that are out now. Give me some more ideas. Thanks

    Have you looked at the Mountaineer 346LQB or 3567BF. I like the fact both have a bath and a half. With kids that is a big deal. New both are probably a little over budget but perhaps you can find a clean unit a year or two old.

    If you currently have a Cardinal your going to be haed pressed to find something you will like in that price range. I did see a couple of Arctic Fox fivers at just over 50K pretty well loaded. No Lippert frame, and still built by a family run company
