We Did It

[magic43]

Yup, we drove to Allen, Ok and picked up our newly built 23' Idle Time 219RKS 5th Wheel.

Since this is our very first experience with a FW, we took a slow trip back home sorta getting used to it. So far...very good.

Thanks for all of the compliments.

I have a Ford F250 e/w 6.2 gas engine and 3.73 diff.

The 219RKS factory specs are as follows:

GVWR = 5600
Dry hitch weight = 500
Unloaded vehicle weight = 4000
Cargo carrying capacity = 1600
Exterior lenght = 23'
Exterior width = 8'
Exterior height = 11'

Their 199RB is 20'10" long, weighs 3450 lb, and has no slide.

I have a potential buyer that I have agreed to show my unit to that is driving from Pensacola, Fl for a look-see. He has a Chevy 1500.

Have a great time, we enjoyed our first one which was similar.

Good looking rig... enjoy.

Awesome! So glad you found something. Our Nash is about 23' no slide though, but we love it. Have a great time wherever you go!!

I'll take some, but here is a LINK to the factory showroom.

These are the pictures that interest us enough to make a 500 mile trip to Allen for a look-see. We ordered on the spot and picked it up a month later. We are very pleased.

Notice that we opted for the "hard" sides.

If you have some time please post some pics of the interior, I was considering buying a new smaller 5er and yours looks nice

Thanks

Hi... congrats..... Jim2007

Allen Camper Mfg also makes a 19' Model 199 that has no slide. It was actually my preference, but the DW overruled. The 219 23' was only $2K more and "she" is happy.

Nice looking rig.......was beginning to wonder if they'd actually I made smaller 5th wheels anymore .....L.O.L.

[magic43]

Thanks to all for the kind words. Congrats to you brnzbk and I will be on the lookout for pictures.

Great looking rig. We are picking up our new fifth wheel next Friday, can't wait to get on the road. Like you this is our first fifth wheel, I've had a pop up and lots of tent camping however, this will be a new experience.
Congrats, safe and happy trails.

I would enjoy seeing more photos.

This was our first stop in the Winding Stair Nat'l Forest in Oklahoma. The next overnight was in Mena, Arkansas which was ~75 miles.

I don't have any "inside" pictures.....yet.

We have had popup travel trailers, a bumper pull, two Class C's, and an Outfitter truck camper. This is my first experience with a FW. I started a thread on here asking about shorter FW's, and your responses is what led to this family owned manufacturer and having this unit built.
