My son-in-law is looking for a good first 5th wheel under 32'. He will be pulling it with a Ram 2500 CTD.I am not sure what to recommend in that size for two people. Any recommendations would be appreciated.

Depends a lot on the specifics of the truck what he can pull.

Payload is usually the controlling limit for 3/4 ton trucks. Probably looking at 12-14k GVWR trailers depending on the truck payload limit.

We have a Grand Design Reflection 303RLS and absolutely love it. It has ample room if stuck inside on rainy days. We are not the type to take everything with us but the kitchen sink so it has plenty of storage for us.

Pulls great with a 3/4 ton.

Good Luck in shopping!

My advice is to give us your son-in-law’s truck numbers....GVWR, payload, people riding in the truck, stuff (weight) carried in the truck etc.
