Considering a 5th wheel, but most are so huge & that's great, but I don't have anywhere to keep anything very big.So I'm just wondering about smaller 5th wheel options.But being small, I'm figuring a slide would help.

Northwood has release a new Fox Mountain 235RLS that's less than 28' long. Looks like a super nice RV.It's on the cover of November's Trailer Life.

The 235 is a nice unit I looked hard at it but the wife wanted more space at the time and wanted bunks for the grand kids. Their 255 is also just under 30 feet. Jayco makes one or two that are under 30 feet as well. There are surely a few others out there.

& of course while I sit here at work my issues of trailer life are all at home!Darn it.

Jayco has a ht line that are short light 5er's less than 30' light with 2 year warranties.

Mine ain't new, ain't for sale, ain't got no slide, but it is small.1987 Alpenlite-19

Check out these folks for small 5th wheel trailers. They show a 219 RKS 23' OAL with a slide ....5600 gvwr....4000 lb dry weight. And bigger if needed.
Allen is small and has been around making RVs since the '60s that I know of.

Nice rig, but out-grosses my old Komfort, which is 2' longer, by 200 lbs! Also, they tout their "off-road frame", which implies boondocking, then only give it a 36 gallon black tank? My old Komfort has 9 more, and I've used it all on more than one occasion.

I sure wish =some= decent company would build a true "boondock" FW...

this could be pretty close to boondock material.

With even smaller tanks... I'm talking about something with a rugged frame, large CCC to carry large holding tanks, adequate ground clearance, options for OEM solar, fewer "gimmicks" to cut weight, etc.

Do most of these come with a geni?
It's nice having it built in vs having to buy one separately?
