It can be done! We found a used 5th wheel with all we wanted, in our price range -- three slides (two in the living room), long enough (we hope) for both of us and three dogs at a price much better than we'd hoped. It's a Fleetwood Prowler '01. Unless John doesn't like it when he sees it in person, it'll be o...

Is This a Camper to Die For????

Or.....die IN??? While watching the video at the link below, keep in mind the tow vehicle is crouching in back pretty well. Also, I'm not too sure about the mid roof hookup arrangement on the tow vehicle. Also, could you see the nose if the VW going up if the trailer wheels hit a good bump? Anyway, enjoy....

I have noticed that several of you are using F350 Diesels which is what we have. Ours is a duelly but not a 4X4. However, there must be a big difference in something - possibly the model year as ours is a 2004. The problem here is that our gross GVR combined weight to tow a 5'er is 20,000 pounds according t...
