What the smallest 5th wheel with a slide?

I have complete access to my fridge and bathroom in our Fox 235. As far as backing up, it's a 5th wheel so it's different anyway. You jack knife easier with any 5th wheel. Once you get the hang of it, it's easy.

The Fox Mountain looks like it would be a great short trailer. The only problem is access to the refrigerator and bathroom while traveling. Also, I wonder if shorter trailers would be harder to backup because they would react quicker to the steering and therefore jackknife unexpectedly.

Those are beautiful!

I really like the 295RL

I bet they are expensive?

List price on the 295rl is $38000 then add a couple grand for shipping. Then you should get around 25% off of MSRP. This gives you $30,000. Add tax and incidentals and you should be around $32-33k
Grand Design units cost a little more than the competition but the customer service is worth it

Wow!
Really?!?!?!?

Hell the Mammoth triple slide Truck Camper I was considering was around $60K
Of course you can get it down to the mid 50K range, there was a couple of used ones I found & they were 50K+

I wonder if these GD models have a Geni?
I didn't see it listed?
I much prefer a built in Geni than having to buy one & having to lift the beast in & out of the truck bed not really an option being just me & the wife, I'm sure our dog would love to help but.......

Mine is 26' with a fairly large slide. You probably want something newer?

I never said I was looking for new.

My truck is a '97.

About as close to offroad as a factory made unit gets, but she is heavy.

The shortest ORV 5th wheel is 30'9" not 26'.

And that shortest AF is 27'10 not the 23 indicated by name. Difference is about 3 feet, but he had since the beginning brought tank size into the topic, and commented about the Fox having a small tank. So I mentioned the ORV due to tank size. The ORV has much larger tanks.

40/40 grey tank capacity & almost 4000lbs cargo capacity. We have gotten this unit into some pretty tight spots.
