I'd like to give a huge THANK YOU to Brad, the Moderator over the Truck Campers forum for his assistance with this thread.

Thanks also to RVcrazed51 for his request for this thread.

Post photos of your Fifth Wheel on this thread. Any photo with a 5er in it is allowable; any brand, any year.

This thread is generally for Fifth Wheel photos only. But feel free to post comments on posted photos.

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. We also have a Swivelwheel. However we got ours years ago before they came out with a cover. We were looking at getting one if we can fit our Goldwing inside.

Can you provide your experiences with the cover (set up, removal, sturdiness, reaction while underway)?

For us it was a great option instead of getting the toy hauler. The Swivel Wheel trailer works great. You do need to plan a little extra time to unload and load though. Also at some sites we are able to leave the swivel wheel hooked up in the site and unload and load right there. Other times we may have to unload, and unhook swivel wheel and then set up into the site. We've excepted this little hassle, as we feel we have much more of a 5er this way. We don't always take the bike with us.
The swivel wheel takes about half the weight off the hitch. We carry the Harley Ultra Limited Low back there at about 860 lbs. So it removed about 400 lbs off the hitch. I did load some weight in the front cargo compartment, to compensate. It travels very well and I'm very happy with it.

It's been a busy summer and haven't checked in here much. The swivel wheel has worked great for us. We do allow ourselves an extra 45 minutes for setting up and packing up. Sometimes we're able to leave the swivel wheel hooked up at our site and are able to unload and load right there. Other times we need to unload the bike and unhook the trailer before pulling into the site. Yes, that part is a bit of a pain but we are so much happier with our Cedar Creek as we just didn't like any of the toyhaulers. It's really not that big of a deal to us when that's what we do and what we plan for.
The ramp for loading the bike works good, I did take a 10" x 8' 1 inch board and painted it with non-skid that I put down on the ramp to make it easier to load.
It travels great, and the cover is fantastic. I have a camera on the back of the 5er to keep an eye on it. There is a bit of overswing when turning, so you do need to be a bit careful with that.
I'm very happy with it and would do it the same way again. It does draw a lot of attention.

Wow I thought was looking at our KZ G384RLT for a moment, same sort of design, chairs, center island, kitchen all look the same. The only things I see is were the entry door, along with the dinning table is different because our door is in the slide. Also the passage to the bedroom is on a different side, bedroom also looks the same, I believe you have a King Bed as well do....

Nice look 5er, the living space is what the DW and I really sold us as ours like yours there is tons of room. If we had look at your model we more than likely would have bought the Grand design do to the fact of the room in the living space like ours has ....

Also the outside looks pretty close except for the window placement, I see the auto levelers are in the same place. I wonder if your leveler and awning controls are both inside an out side under the right cargo side door as ours are ....

Our awning switch is on the inside on the panel in the hall way. Our leveling switch is on the driver side on the cargo panel door, where the electrical cord, water hose, and satellite/cable connections are.

Ok, ours is also in the hallway but the outside LCI control panel is on the passengers side storage compartment ...

We ordered it back in October and picked it up the end of last month. Pic was our second trip to Lake Bastrop. Will not take it out until mid next month again. So far so good. Without a doubt 95 percent of all hinge screws were stripped. Dealer fixed most and I have done the rest. Other than that PDI was good. Little things mostly. We did a lot of looking before ordering and it came down to Arctic Fox,Lifestyle and Augusta. If Northwood had not changed the bathroom and added the island in the 32-5M we would have gone with the 5Z. Loved our rear kitchen Alpenlite but the 5K had no window in the back.

Looks new! Love Arctic Fox 5ths, hope to get one myself as retirement gets nearer. What's your impression so far?

I wanted to post an image of the rig we bought, but when I click on the image icon, it asks for a URL. I have the photo on my hard drive.

How do I post a picture?

Lots of exterior pics where, lets face it, they all look very much the same. Here is an interior. What is unusual is the TV mounting at a 45deg angle & where it is viewable from anywhere. The light wood gives a roomier feel & not like being in some dark high priced legal office. Behind the louvered door is where the W/D would be. Not for us. It is used as a massive pantry.

a picture from this morning, first tow with the new truck - had the get the 5er inspected for the coming trip this weekend. Truck seems much more capable and stable than the last one.

Great looking setup!!

Don't have many good pictures.

Ordered it the first week of March and picked up last Thursday. It's a 2018 Open Range Roamer 374 BHS. TV is a 2016 RAM 3500 SRW CCLB 6.7 Cummins with Aisin. Added the Trail Air pin box afterwards. It's our first fifth wheel, we're super excited for our first trip on the 20th. Hopefully get some better pictures then.
