Advice for a short Premium Fifth Wheel
Any advice? Looking for a true 4 season trailer with good tank sizes built on a high quality frame and construction. Weight is not an issue but would like to stay at under 30 feet.

Grey tanks are more important than fresh water tanks. You can always fill the fresh, but without a sewer connection the grey needs to be able to hold a lot.
To me it's t'other way round, especially for boondockers. BLACK needs to be larger than grey. Unless you're in a CG, you can always dump the grey without making an environmental mess, if necessary. Unless, of course, you =like= using the outdoors as your bathroom which, to me, defeats the purpose of having an RV. :B When we boondock, we rarely do more than rinse off and use wipes for "washing". If I get especially sweaty from cutting wood or hiking, I'll strip down to my skivvies and use the outside shower for a quick rinse. Dishwater goes in the black tank and I carry extra jugs of fresh water. Tooth brushing is outside, as is pre-dinner hand washing. Drinking water is bottled. Always had plenty of fresh water, but have nearly filled my 45 gal black tank on 2 occasions.
Giving up 13 gal of black capacity over my current FW is what makes the Jayco I'm looking at #2 on my wish list, and a KZ #1.
