Advice for newbie
Looking for first fifth wheel--actually, first RV. Limiting choice to 3/4 ton towable (daily vehicle and do not want anything more). My wife and I will use it full time for a year or two to see the country, then on and off for half of the year thereafter--at least, that is the plan. Priorities are:
1) as trouble free as possible (routine maintenance is expected).
2) well insulated/heated/air conditioned--we will not be camping, but using the rv as our rolling hotel room--think really bad allergies, so windows closed. We will follow the seasons.
3) washer/dryer.
4) max hitch weight about 2,100 lbs--this is probably the limiting factor with our truck.
5) due to 6.5' truck bed, we plan on using a Pullrite SuperGlide hitch, if that matters.
Our options are:
a) SpaceCraft custom.
b) Arctic Fox 29-5T.
c) Used NuWa Hitchhiker II LS or Discover America--I think all Champagnes are too heavy?
d) Used Cameo.
e) Used Triple-E Topaz.
I think that Continental Coach would be too heavy. I know New Horizons is too heavy. We are looking roughly 30-34 feet, depending on weight.
Any preferences regarding these? Thanks all.
