Short high line fifth wheel?

Does anybody anymore make a relatively short (30-32')high line fifth wheel? Excel,Hitchhiker,Travel Supreme etc are all gone. The only thing Ive been able to find is a 32' Mobile Suite that's 34'

    Heartland Landmark 365 Syracuse is 35' long and a very nice unit, but it looks as though they are discontinuing it as their website says the dreaded "Dealer Stock Only".......:M
  • I think Heartland has a Landmark right around the 35' length. a little longer then what you want but a option.
  • You have that right; it is really hard to find a better quality fifth wheel in the shorter lengths. Cedar Creek had a 30RL (34 LOA) in their line in 2012 and 2013 but discontinued it. They said they did not sell enough of them. But I see a lot of posts from folks looking for the smaller units. We got that model and love it but we had a terrible time finding one on a dealer's lot so we could actually see it. I didn't want to buy from a brochure only. I think the CC Silverback still has some of the shorter lengths. They are a good unit with good factory support but I don't know if you consider that high end.
  • Tough to find a higher end small 5er. Years ago Mobile Suites had a 32TK3 which was on our very short list.

    In a land where bigger is better & bling overules quality small high quality 5ers are hard to come by. A model number 34 is not too bad if you are thinking of the ability to get into SPs. 34 really means the LOA is going to be just under 36' pin to bumper. Backing a trailer that size into tight spots is no real proble if you have a good guide & a pair of radios. One for her to talk. The other for you to listen to & do what you are told.

    I would not go over the 36'LOA limit for easy SP access.

    Make your list & check it twice for what the prioritys are.
  • Arctic Fox maybe tho I'm not sure what 'high line' means in this case.
