short high end fifth wheel

Ive been through an Alpenlite,a Travel Supreme,and a Mobile Suites,all of which I liked, and all of which are too much for an old man to handle. I've browsed till I'm sick of it looking for similar quality in a shorter (32'max) fiver. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
  • All I can say is there is like a bazillion different brand/style/length/floor plan/etc.
    if you can’t find one you like, it’s you, not the rv industry…

    Thanks all for the suggestions. Artic Fox is about as close as Ive been able to get,but the shortest just not a good floorplan for me. Really frustrating that nobody tests the market. Same problem with travel trailers.

    That Cougar 27SGS is a nice floorplan! Wish they made it in the Premium series.


    Howdy!

    If you cannot find a floor plan you like you might want to consider New Horizon. They can build you what you want in a floor plan.

  • TX Iceman: Yup,same problem with travel trailers. I'm currently in a Lance which is ok, b want to get back to a fifth wheel.

    Chief: Thanks. I thought of New Horizon. They've apparently discontinued the line that has the shorter build.

    Accepted it is not a premium model, but we have found the quality to be very good. :)


    Yep it's not as "high end" in terms of finishes like a Mobile Suites but the basic build quality is pretty good. The 27.5 is their most popular 5'er so I guess that's the floor plan you didn't like. My wife passed on the 27.5 as well due to lack of counter space but I liked the 27.5. It's about a ton lighter to pull. The floor plan on our 29.5K is very nice but it's about 35' OAL.
