Because this thread is very long, I will occasionally clean it up by removing the older posts that do not have Fifth Wheel photos and other off topic material. Also, please limit photo width to 640 pixels by using: width=640. Please do not post thumbnail size photos, they are just too small to see.

Hi everybody, I'm looking to buy a fifth wheel, hopefully by the end of the year. And I was just wondering if some of you would care to post some pics of your fiver.

Nice rig. What kind of hitch are you using? I have the same truck and we may be getting a fiver in the next couple of years.

On the way home from picking up our new Open Range 399BHS. Towed great, can't wait for the first official trip next weekend. We did spend two nights in it on the way home from picking it up, but they don't count since we didn't have a campfire ๐Ÿ˜‰

Kinyocase, What a wonderful story! I am so glad you were able to get the 5er back in the family! Just think of all the memories you can now add to the ones you already have of spending that precious time with your Grandfather! Just wonderful!
Many Happy Trails, Okie

It has the exact same smell it did when I was younger. It's been a good 12+ years since I went in it, but those are the things that you just don't forget. Still waiting for the ground to dry enough to move it to it's proper location. The ground was wet at the time we moved it, and the truck just about didn't make it out of underneath the trailer. I live in 100% clay, and it's certainly not a proper place to be pulling a trailer.

way to go kinyocase

a sentimental question? does it still have the same "smell" it did when you were a kid?

im sure you have noticed already but the tech forum on this board is loaded with knowledgable people that can help you work through issues as the happen to pop up

That's OK enjoy your nre fifth wheel. Seen guys who have towed trailers forever get into a tight spot once in a while. Of course I didn't make matters any better LOL

Welcome to the group and the 5er rigs. I started with a 1972 26' Mallard travel trailer. Then didn't have a rig for 20 years. Bought a new 2005 Wildcat and have many good times in it already. Hope to head to Alaska soon, maybe this summer if I can swing it.

Enjoy your new found rig and have fun.

Hey Folks,

I'm new to both 5th wheels and this forum. When I was younger my Grandfather used to take me camping with my sister out on Flathead lake in Montana. He used this tiny old Dodge that was converted to propane to pull his 1977 Aljo 32' 5th wheel. He passed away a couple years ago, and my father took possesion of the camper. He sold it to a gentleman that just let the 5er sit out in a small field. I decided this year that I was going to try to talk him into selling it to me. $300 dollars cash and a fully built website later I had full ownership of my grandfathers 5er. I've never towed anything bigger than a 16' car hauler, and am only 24 years of age. We currently do not have a truck to tow with, and don't have the money to purchase one at this time. The 5er is in a bit of rough shape but nothing to heart breaking. Can't wait to get a 3/4ton and start pulling this baby to the lake. The tag on the side (incredibly faded, and barely legible) states that the GVWR of the camper is only 9,000 lbs, and dry weight according to nada is 6200 lbs. I certainly think a well suited 3/4ton should be able to handle it. Enjoy the pic. When I have it actually parked where it should be I'll get some better pics.

Nice rig guys. I wish I would have purchase a shorter 5th wheel back when because we like to find hidden away dispersed camping places located along trout streams.
