Keystone Cougar 260MLE may be just what you’re looking for
- laknoxNomadFWIW, ALL the KZ Half-Ton FWs have W/D prep, which blows my mind. 8 models from 29'1" to 37'5".
Lyle - Paul39ExplorerHi - I know this is an older thread. Any updates on what you decided or other ones you looked at. I am also looking at a smaller (28-33ft) 5th wheel with a washer/dryer. So far leaning towards a Jayco Eagle HT 24RE and a Keystone Cougar 260MLE. The Jayco looks a little tight in the bed/bath area especially with the washer/dryer install. The Jayco has a ton of room and storage, but only 2 permanent sitting positions (has a fold out table) and no extra sleeping space incase the grandkids come along (blowup bed on floor is only solution I can think of)
In my case I'd like to tow with a 2023 F250 7.3l - and would like to keep the hitch weight below 2,800lbs and GVWR of camper below 13,000 - speediq99Explorer IISomewhere between 29-32 or so.
No particular reason other than we have a 44ft 5th wheel now and we can't get many sites so we are going to downsize. The smaller the better but we may need to go to 33-35ft to get that W/D hookup. If it gets too close to 40ft, I am not sure it will make that much difference.
We are tossing around, as discussed, the idea of a shorter fifth wheel and no dually or a Sunseeker 2400 and a CRV or similar. We just need something more manageable.
Two engines to maintain vs one. - way2rollNavigator II

Anything that is 2022 or 2023 and available to purchase new? Our ideal is a 27.5 Artic Fox but no washer and dryer hook up. I just can't seem to find one at or below 30.

Originally you said under 32, now it seems you need under 30. Can I ask why the under 30 restriction? Even though our CC 29RW was just slightly over 30, when booking a site I said it was 30 and never had an issue. - speediq99Explorer IIAnything that is 2022 or 2023 and available to purchase new?

MC - JKJavelinExplorer IIIOur Open Range 316rls 5th wheel is 31.5' long and has washer/Dryer hookups. Also 3 slides, wide body, large tanks and 10 gallon water heater. Last year produced was 2018.
JK - way2rollNavigator IIOur previous Cedar Creek 29RW had W/D hookups in the bedroom closet. That rig had a LOT of space in a 30 ft FW.
- LadyRVerExplorer III had a Montana 29RL, which in reality was about 33' with a washer/dryer closet with hookups.
