Would Like A Fifth Wheel

New to this forum! Have been camping since before I could walk in everything but a fifth wheel. Just spent the past two years fulltiming in a 43 foot diesel pusher. Sold everything to move back home to care for my parents. Have always loved fifth wheels largely due to floorplans (we eat about 95% of our meals in the rig when traveling), etc. Read an article recently about manufacturers cutting corners on fifth wheels to reach the demanding market and many now won't last five years, or so the article read. They gave no names. We would use the RV on weekends and vacations during the summer, and when parents are gone, would probably snowbird during winter months. Looking for names of good quality manufacturers. Love Mobile Suites, but not wanting to go quite that high unless no other option. Thoughts? Also, what size of pick-up is recommended?
  • Once you decide on what FW you want, it will be much easier to choose a truck to fit.

    Welcome to the FW forum,
