5th wheeler bunk houses

[bwilke]

i am looking to purchase a 5th wheel that has bunkhouse for separate room with tv. I want one that is quality built and would like one that is not always in the shop or cheaply made.

i saw a used chaparrel coachman 29bhs and the floor plan was one that i liked with an outside kitchen.

can someone tell me about the quality of this 5th and or let me know what you would recommend.

i like the island in the kitchen too.

Thanks so much

Look at a Jayco Eagle 30.5BHLT I had one when raising a teen grandson. It has a "loft" we used as storage, about 8K dry 33ft.

The trouble with most diesel 3/4 ton trucks is they run out of weight carrying capacity before they run out of towing capacity. When you start looking at your ability to drop load onto the rear axle, like a fifth wheel does, having those extra springs and wheels and tires that the one ton gives you disappears fast.

A lot of what you want as far as quality build is available, but quality means weight and so you have to compare pound for pound compared to say an Arctic Fox, (known to be heavy, and quality).

So, what is your capacity on the rear wheels? What can you drop on there and still be OK with?
