"Truck campers are too small; lets check out 5th wheelers" says the DW. You bet ... I'm in trouble.:)Being a "know nothing", I would appreciate your opinion as what you consider the 3 "better built" brands/models of current manufactured toy haulers. Tow vehicle will be a F350 PowerStroke long bed DRW.Thanks for your replies.

New or used,,,, and budget?high end DRVMass produced mid/upper Grand Design or Winne, , KZ , And then you have the Jayco, Keystone and Forest River products.

If you have lots of money, DRV has or did have a very nice up scale Tow Hauler.

Gee, that’s women! Just two days ago you were wantin’ to buck up your truck for a camper.

Or you can go with a custom built unit from New Horizon....better have deep pockets for the trailer and the Freightliner to tow it.Ken

One that stands out is Arctic Fox, by Northwood MFG, in Oregon. And it's a 4 season 5'vr, comes with a larger water heater than most 5'vrs They make their own trailer, which comes standard with shock absorbers. We have owned 2 A.F.-bought new. The last one-model 29 5T we probably put 50,000 miles on it-from So. Calif. we took it to the Yukon Terr.-to Florida and many points in between. https://northwoodmfg.com/
