Are there any good dealers out there who sell the 5th wheel and tow vehicle as a package? Thanks.

I'm sure you can find a dealer somewhere that will do a package, but why would you want to?
The hard thing to find is the brand and model trailer you want and then it's easy to find a truck that is capable of towing it. Just determine the GVWR of the trailer you choose and then look at the truck manufacturers towing specs.
The RV dealer will be very happy to sell you a hitch and install it.
Good luck,
Fred

Some places you can get pkg deals, but just be sure that truck can haul what you see if they are selling it together.In otherwords buyer beware...... southwestjudy & Bob & 2backdogs

One of our own RV-Dreams Community members has recently started representing Doonan Trucks in Kansas. They sell Peterbilt heavy duty & medium duty trucks and Teton fifth wheels.
I've requested preferred contact information. Hopefully, we can get that posted soon.

Well here is the info from our Community Member, Steve Dobbs, as promised:
We are commissioned sales agents for Doonan Truck in Wichita, KS.
Doonan is known for Peterbilt truck conversions to haul RV’s.
Doonan has bought another dealership in Great Bend, KS. This gives us access to the GMC line. I am not sure that anything will develop, but they are starting a HINO truck dealership just down the street. This line would need some work to be workable for the RV crowd.
Doonan is also a dealer for Teton Homes fifth wheels. Teton has developed a new line called the “Prestige” or “Ascent” that is 32’ long and fairly light. It is not on their website yet. Teton is pretty excited about this as it gets them in a different market. They will be marketed in the Experience and Prestige trim lines.
We also sell whatever used trucks that are available to us. We will be doing some Internet marketing in the near future.
People can reach me at Steve_Dobbs@doonantruck.com or my work cell of 316-648-6033. We think that we bring a different perspective to RV sales as we have been full-timing for 8 years.
