Any thoughts are greatly appreciated......
Which 5th wheel hitch is the very best for strength and ease of use? I don't worry about cost when it comes to something this important.
I want around 27 foot Cougar as it seems to be discreet in having everything I would like and I'm thankful for any thoughts about insulation and the holding tanks being able to take cold weather
Are there any other brands that have better insulation, thicker walls that I should consider?
Thanks to everyone for your helpful thoughts It will help to make wise decisions while switching from a Truck camper.
OK, here's my $0.02...
Hitch: I'm a B&W fanboy and you can't go wrong whatever B&W hitch you buy. I've had mine since '14 and don't ever expect to have another hitch. I also have the Turnover Ball GN hitch, since we have a GN trailer. Love the clean bed when there's no hitch installed.
Truck: Get a 1t SRW. Even a smaller rig can be heavy, especially if you start looking at rigs like Arctic Fox. Some may say that you'd be "over-trucked", but better too much truck than not enough. I made that mistake when I got my truck. Had I done more research, I'd've found that I could have had a 1T and =not= had to have a dually. Gives you room to expand, too, if you find that a smaller FW is getting =too= small.
