Hi AllD.W. and I are looking to downsize now that the kids have lost interest in spending time with us camping. We are looking forward to spending some time in some State Parks. We want a well made fifth wheel that is under 34', pin to bumper. Seems like all the high end units are 36' and up. Any suggestions? Weight and height are not an issue. We want something that is well made.Thanks.

High-end companies are known to make just about anything you want. Whether that means length.. I don't know. You might try Lifestyle or DRV.

I would look at Arctic Fox not the most luxurious but a good fiver and good four season.

We purchased our luxury fifth wheel, a Heartland Big Horn, new in 2010. It was the next to the shortest at outside hitch to bumper length of 35'5". We selected this model rather than the shortest because of the floor plan. We knew we didn't want to get any longer than 35' so we settled for the 5". It's a perfect length just for the two of us, but when our son and his family come camping with us, we fit snugly at night and spend the entire day outside, so it works for the one time they go with us.

Our NuWa 31.5LKTG DA is 33'11"New HitchHiker's aren't available, but you can find nice used ones at kansasrvcenter.comGood luck

You want to look at a Lifestyle LS32RL if you want high end

We recently traded our older Cardinal for a 2015 Cedar Creek Silverback 29RE. It's overall length is about 33'4". It's not the top of the line Cedar Creek, but it has a very nice interior with lots of space. Check out the Silverbacks below.

Outdoors RV has some nice looking 5th wheels that are a little smaller than some. They are a sister or cousin to the Northwoods line and have frames made in the same shop. The smaller ones start at about 30'.

We just ordered a 2016 Montana 3160RL with the Legacy Package. We love the floor plan and I wanted to stay under 36'.

X2 on Kansas RV Center. My NuWa DIscover America 300FK is 30'.

I think they now have some kind of deal with Excel to manufacture a limited number of Hitchhikers. They also carry several other higher end brands.

Their Service Department is first rate too. I stop there once a year for routine maintenance and the occasional upgrade.

Excell is out of business.

Ok, then I don't know where they get them but they have a few and the NuWa factory is closed.
Excel built them for NuWa before they closed.

I think you need to be more specific as to luxury and price range, but I am very happy with my now 13 year old Gulf Stream. Well built, well appointed, and competitively priced when I bought it new.
