What the smallest 5th wheel with a slide?

[Blanco1]

Considering a 5th wheel, but most are so huge & that's great, but I don't have anywhere to keep anything very big.

So I'm just wondering about smaller 5th wheel options.
But being small, I'm figuring a slide would help.

I realize they all claim to be the best.

But whats your opinion on these guys?

what the rep of this company?
Are the a quality builder?
I dont like the look of those ugly 5the wheel hitches , but I can get over that.

I love that reverse way of the den vs the bedroom & such.

Clotus - Thanks for the reference. I could only find a few out there for sale but the photos show a good layout for a small 5er. Will this unit hold a full length queen bd or just a short one?

It's a full queen.

It never was in the RV industry!

What does mean?

It means like Clint Eastwood would say. "Are you feeling lucky?"
RV sales are setting records for the 3rd straight year. They literally can't make em fast enough. Elkhart IN has a big worker shortage for all fascists of work. New plants are being built as I type. They will take anyone that can pass a drug test and fog a mirror and pay them a low wage and compensate them for how much they get done.
Thats a recipe for low quality control. And add to the situation the low grade parts installed and it's a no win for the buyer.
It's not all doom and gloom. IMO more good than bad rolls off the assembly line. But too many still need to back to the dealer for warranty work. Or if you're handy then you can finish building what they started.

If you are looking for quality control in an RV, good luck. Be prepared to fix lots of little issues. Open up and look behind the control panel and admire the wiring mess and the sawdust. This is what you get when you pay people piece work instead of a good wage. Not confined to any one manufacturer, rather the status quo in the entire industry.

The only thing I didn't like was while on my back under it, I could see the really did not care how things looked?
The cover keeping everything seaedl looked like it was water warped even though I realized its a flexable plastic cover that is only connected in certain area & should be fine.

The other thing i didn't like was the spray foam insulation looked like ****!
Like they suddenly didn't care?
The could easily cut the foam to look clean.
I know its just look & should work fine.

But makes me question there quality control?

That one sure wasn't perfect for me. I didn't buy that one for two reasons. One you don't have a straight shot looking at the TV. I had a RV like that before and after about 30 minutes watching TV you get a hurt neck.
Second the bathroom sink has no room around it to set your shaving cream, toothpaste, etc. I had one like that before and never again.

On top of that there's hardly any kitchen storage. No pantry.
I've got 15 upper cabinet doors in my Fox plus a pantry.

My Keystone Laredo 245 has a dining room slide, and a full queen bed (fore and aft). It's nice for weekends and 3 day trips. We did a 10 day trip this summer and both of us mentioned "next size up would have been nice. A pantry, coat closet and a little more legroom in the Living room..." but this one works.
I was shopping for a truck camper to replace the class C when my wife fell in love with the small Keystone. I told her whatever we picked had to be small enough for Forest Service camping and boon docking for hunting, so some unimproved or limited off-road travel.
