Pic's of your 30'ish foot 5th wheels & please share weights

Mine is in my sig, 34', 10,500 lbs loaded for the lake.

You really want to pay attention to the actual length, the model number on ours is deceiving, it's called a 28RK and that's what the title and registration says but it's really an inch or two short of 33' (but I'm not telling MV)

Pic in sig and it states 8750# dry

That is a nice unit!
One thing I have noticed is it seems those 30’ or less have a wardrobe slide instead of a bed slide. I believe this greatly reduces clothing storage. Many of the 30’ to 32’ units seem to have a full front closet, with dressers and many with overhead storage.

It also makes them a lot heavier. The ones with the wardrobe slides are almost all "light" FWs, with GVW < 11k.

I was originally looking for under 30’ but fell for this. 34’ but very manageable

Our Arctic Fox 27-5L. 29’ 5” long. We wanted to stay under 30 feet to have better access to National Parks. Empty Weight of this unit, as built, is 10,600; GVWR is 13,400.

I don't wanna be cheap with my purchase but don't wanna pay more than I need to.

I have only seen two outdoor 26.5 models so far in person.

I plan to look at Lots & Lots of them to help me decide what's best for us.

Outdoors RV is the same company as Northwood who makes Arctic Fox. They do make their own frames. I think you will find that all of their RV's are going to be quite a bit heavier than others, due to the frames and they have more insulation I believe.
Since I tow with a half ton truck my options were limited.

Heavy beasts is correct. I am probably about 4000 heaver than johndeerefarmer when loaded for travel.

Winnebago has a small fiver, as do Coachmen (Chaparral Lite and Xlite). Also Keystone makes quite a few light weight fivers.

Let us know which you decide on
