Need a better fifth wheel fir full timing

So I'm stationed at Fort Lewis and I just entered the full time lifestyle, and what a bumpy road it has been. First off, I believe I purchased the wrong rv (2015 Keystone Hideout 308bhds) to start full timing. Two slideouts, not nearly enough storage and not an ounce of insulation I know this is going to be a rough winter. So next year this time I am planning to trade this one in and go for a front living room arrangement. I'm looking at Wana rvs in Indiana for my next purchase. Unfortunately, they do not accept new rvs as trades.

I'm just stressed out. DW doesn't like that the dogs are under her feet all the time, the kitchen is right across from the ONE sofa we have, the air conditioner feels like it's blowing out heat, and the no space among other things! We love the full time lifestyle, just chose the wrong fifth wheel.

Any of you fine ladies and gents know of any rv wholesale dealers that will accept a new trade?
  • Personally I don't like "front" living quarters. But Thunder RV has the initial production unit of Northwoods new monster. Big enough to have a separate kennel area
    Desert Fox35-5SG
  • Don advise isn't bad, but start local. Go to Sumner RV, just up the road. Maybe also go to Apache RV in Everett (Apache RV in Tacoma can't sell Arctic Fox trailer due to Sumner RV)
    If you owe on the current rig, you are unlikely to get a trade in large enough to payoff the loan.
    Also "wholesale" dealers is just a sales ploy.

    But the dogs under foot......
  • Most any dealer will take your trade. You just may not like the offer.
    Check with Thunder RV in Lagrande,OR for what they can do in trade on a new Arctic Fox.
