Long time lurker but finally a member. Just made the switch from a travel trailer to 5th wheel. Had a 2012 Eclipse Evolution TT that was nothing but problems from day 1 and the dealer and manufacture did nothing to make us happy. Wife and I went to go look at 5th wheels at our local Camping World and walked away with this thing. This is from when we picked it up last week. Looking forward to our maiden voyage in December.

We just sold our 2003 Outback by Liteway 5th wheel, and will be picking this gem up. It's a 2009 Outback Sydney Editon 321FRL and despite being 6 years old, it has less than 400 miles on it. It has been outside for less than a year while being used as a house while a new house was being constructed and when the owner used it for 10 days a year at a county fair. It has been stored indoors the rest of the time..../Users/boblinfoto/Desktop/Trailerfolder/trailer front.JPG

All of them look pretty much the same on the outside, a box with wheels.
Here is ours in an unflattering state. It was end of season day & we were in the middle of packing bags, next stop an airport, plus doing the final cleaning before the mothballs & dryer sheets were put out.

Just bought this gem, a 2009 Outback Sydney Edition 321 FRL with less than 400 miles on it. Three slides. It has been outside about 6 months during a home build when it was the house, and during a local county fair week for the last 6 years. It has been stored in doors the rest of the time. Sold a 2003 Outback 5th wheel by Liteway. Can't wait to move in!

despoil nice setup. At 16K GVWR on the RV I would really keep an eye on the rear axle weight on the TV. 3,200# at 20% and easily up to 4,000# at 25%. May not weigh that much now but believe me the weights creep up VERY fast!

Yep, its a beast. Going to add airbags because I prefer the ride with them vs springs alone. Truck is rated at a hair over 4000 payload and 17000 trailer weight. For those considering the Duramax, it pulled this rig effortlessly. I actually had to watch my speed. This is my first truck with an exhaust brake and it worked out great.
