  Did you get it? We travel in a HitchHiker 5th wheel and enjoy that time very much.

I had a Coachman camper van and have been through the Coachman factory in Middlebury, Indiana. They do a good job in building them. The Chapperal is their 5th wheel Flagship.

Make sure you do not exceed the GCWR for the truck. Police and the insurance company will take a very dim view in the event of an accident. 1/2 tons are generally too light to tow most fivers.
We have an old 18 1/2 ft I tried to pull with a Ranger 4.0. It was within the trucks weight rating but after two trips in the mountains I gave up. Pedal to the metal with hazards on going up and white knuckles down the other side. Now have a Ram diesel that works much better and we can upgrade the trailer while keeping the truck.

We bought a new rig last year, 2013 Forest River Cherokee 39 FL.  44 feet long, 4 tip outs, 9 foot tall ceilings. Wife loves it.

That is nicer than most people's houses. Woodhauler, I didn't mean to offend you, I realize you do this for a living and are very aware of weight limits. The red flags went up when you mentioned 1/2 ton.

Does this count?

I had a Bluebird family buy a 2004 Airstream Camper last week.

Thanks Sawguy21

Dave- that is one weird looking trailer. Not sure i would want to try to change that spare tire on the side of the road. Almost looks like you would need a pit crew to change it
