Looking at fivers

[FordDiesel250]

One of the things my DS and I like to do while camping or driving is to see the different type of trailers that people have. Most of us know the name brands and sometimes we see some that we have never heard of. Recently we seen a couple of Fifth wheels that we have never seen before. First was a fiver that had a slideout in the front cap. Never have seen this before and the next one was a fiver that had 6 slideouts. That was a first for us. Does anyone else do this and can you tell us what you have seen?

There's a couple companies that make the full-wall slides. Personally, I'm not a huge fan, but I'm sure some people like them.

In 2010 I switched up from, a 30' Outback fiver to my current 35' Titanium. Same truck, same roads and I gained a little more than a mile per gallon average on long trips even though the Ti is about 2,000 pounds heavier.

We love the Titanium. Glendale called it a 30-E-35. Thirty feet from pin to bumper and thirty-five feet overall. The extra five feet is the part out over the cab of the truck. Ours has a fore and aft queen bed with about 2/3 of the length on the extended nose area. Getting up and down onto the bed takes a little getting used to since is about 32 inches above the BR floor level (there is a step on each side to assist), but the extra room is easy to get used to.

Tows and backs like a thirty footer; lives inside like a thirty-five footer. Rides rock solid behind my 3500.

Glendale, a Canadian company, went bankrupt in the great RV shakeout in early 2010.

That looks cool. I wonder when they made them, for how long, and why they quit. It's kind of like our Fuzion 383: it's a great design for 2 people hauling a couple bikes, but they only made them for 2 years.

The Titanium kind of leaves me cold. Not sure how useful the space would be.

Once Glendale went out of business, the front style was then carried by the Bighorn Titanium Edition up until a couple years ago.

It does look like it would cut down on the wind resistance.

I saw two with front slides just this past weekend. It was getting dark but I think they were Rockwood. Could not tell for sure.

but it has a double overhang up in the front. Instead of just having the normal overhang that is over the trucks bed, there's 2nd one that goes over the cab of the truck.

Probably a Glendale Titanium, no longer made. Don't know of anyone else that did that.

Thanks. Just looked the name up on google and that's it.

Glendale Titanium

I'd like to see the floor plan for the one that has the slide in the cap. I have never heard of such a thing. I wonder if it was an owner add on/modification.

The one with the double overhang sounds like a Titanium

Pardon me, but I don't know what the fascination is with the number of slideouts. I see a lot of rigs with 2 small slideouts on one wall of the living area - they provide no more (and often less) living space than one large slideout. As far as I'm concerned, the total square footage in the RV with the slides out is really the name of the game, not the number of slideouts, which just multiply the number of things to go wrong. Is it really a selling feature to have 8, 10 or 20 slideouts???

By the way, our 5th wheel has 4 slideouts - 2 opposing slideouts in the bedroom area and 2 opposing slideouts in the living area.

Just my 2 cents' worth....
