I couldn't narrow down the fifth wheels under 30ft in length I liked best so.. I made a full compilation of EVERY fifth wheel I could find from any mainstream manufacturer out there.. EVEN the ones we don't carry at Bish's RV just as a courtesy to you folks!
I know this video is long but I wanted to give something back in return for all the viewership and support you've offered me and Bish's RV over the years!

I’m a veteran rver, and I love that manufacturers are starting to understand that some of us want the shorter fifth wheels so we can get into smaller parks. It’s not about cost or weight, we love our state and national parks.

This is basically my criteria for 5th wheels when I am shopping, hate the idea of dragging around a massive 40+ft monster rig, love the advantages of the 5th wheel form factor and just want something a little smaller than normal for a solo traveler with a dog and a desire for the digital nomad lifestyle. Thank you Josh, love that you were able to put this together for all of the models out there! I'm saving this video for later tonight, 43 minutes is a doozy but I appreciate the work and will be watching it in its entirety and leaving another comment with my favorites!

Yup! Had a trip a few years ago to Yellowstone and because of a few fallen trees 🌲 and rocks on the road making it single lanes in multiple areas (due to heavy rains), they were turning back all long RV’s and 5W’s. They were having to turn around, and were not happy. Only those who had a CB radio knew what and why, and you could see them using a parking lot to abort early. The line was miles wrong! 😊

Hi, Josh! You are one funny nerd, "Squirrel". In 2019 we downsized from our Allegro to a Shasta (Forest River) Phoenix 25MK 5er. At just over 29', we can pretty much get in any state or federal campsites. It did take some getting used to after selling our motor home but we love it. There are only a couple of bad things about it. One is the short wheel distance from the trailer to the truck. Chucking and sway are a bit more then on a longer rig. The other is backing up. For your viewers that are truckers, it's comparable to backing up a 48' trailer with the tandems slide all the back to a little 20' pup. The little trailer tends to get away from you. And, yes, your more observant viewers will know I'm dating myself with the 48' example. I retired from truckin' before the 53 footers came out. Love your videos. You and Matt have great reviews showing the good and the bad. Thanks!

You bypassed the Rockstaff 281RK. We purchased one back in January. Just under 29ft, we towed it from the east coast to the west coast and back during the month of March with our 3/4 ton gasser pickup. We love it. Enough room for the wife and I and our 50lb Labrador. The east/west bed slide allows us ample room to move around in the bedroom, and the bathroom is easily accessible in road mode. Our dislikes so far 1.) The leveling control is mounted inside the pass through. This means that unless you are Stretch Armstrong, two people are required to disconnect, level, or hook back up to the truck as you have no view of the pinbox. 2.) Fridge is not accessible when the living room slide is in road mode. Think if they removed the pantry from it's current location, slide the living room slide forward and make it wider to include the fridge, it would work. You can then take the current fridge location and make it the pantry which puts it closer to the kitchen and not across the room like it is right now. 3.) Rear end cargo receiver doesn't have a 4pin connector. For us, this means we can't take advantage of the lighting on our cargo carrier which sticks out 4-5 feet beyond the back of the trailer.

We have a Cherokee Arctic 23mle and we love the layout. We used to have a 43’ toy hauler. It was quite a downsize. We enjoy that it travels well in that slide doesn’t have to extend to access pantry, fridge, and bathroom! Being under 30’ we can go many more places!

Josh, just wanted to thank you for this GREAT video. This is a video that I have been looking for for a very long time. We are interested in a 5th wheel, no more than 30' with a W/D prep and you NAILED it. I never realized that so many 5th wheels out there met my criteria. I'm bookmarking this video for future reference. You are the bomb. Thanks again for a job well done.

1) I like the looks of both the inside & outside of the Alliance. Nice spacious kitchen but I’d like to see a backsplash all around. Appears to be borderline heavy 1/2 T towable. Glad to see the attached ladder, but would rather see it curved over and attached to the top of the roof. One less leak point I guess. Perhaps I’m too picky 🙃 2) I like the kitchen set up in the Arctic Wolf. I see a lot of the “MK” brand of furniture in your videos. What does that stand for? Are they a basic or more luxury line of furniture? 3) Rockstaff stellar kitchen indeed. 4) The Impression makes a good impression on me. Too bad it wasn’t late model heavy 1/2 T towable. 5) Sometime could you put out a listing that shows every make and what their model letters mean? I know that they are all different. Thank you. 6) Reflecting on the Reflection 150 series…. I really like the space in there. By chance is it late model heavy 1/2 ton towable? I have a 2003 Chevy Silverado 1500 HD (8 lugs) Crew cab 4WD with a 6L with a GVWR of 8600 #, GAWR 6000 #, with 3.73 rear axle. My book says max trailer weight is either 7600 or 7900# with a GCWR of 14,000#. Not sure if I have a big enough truck. My truck camper sticker says 1881 # rating for that slide in. Anyone from the class feel free to chime in please. I’m thinking I don’t have a big enough truck. 7) I like the table and chairs in the Eagle 🦅 8) The Arcadia is unique. I like it but don’t have the truck unfortunately. 9) Love the Cougar. 10) Please visit the store for the KZ. 11) Ya, the Fox Mountain looks dated but it looks cozy. 37) Loved the video Uncle Josh. Keep doing you. You are so smart. This student nerd has learned a lot from you. I’m confident that if and when I ever do buy my first RV, I will be buying my second RV the first time around. #Nerdherd 👍

I don't know why manufacturers aren't making more of these. People are having less kids and less families, they're working remote more and more, housing is less and less affordable, and some other stuff I can't think of right now. Plus no one wants to tow a monster RV that can't get into certain national parks. Seems like a slam dunk to me.

Bish's needs to seriously consider carrying Northwood brands at the Texas dealership, and others they obtain on the East side of the country. The Northwood dealers in Texas, Florida and Missouri only seem to carry the truck campers. There's one in NC that carries Fox and Nash, but just a few. I realize the cost to transport them all the way across the country would be high, but their quality is second to none. Same potential for Outdoors RV, Texas is as far south and East as they go, with the exception of one in PA.

This is a lot of good information. Thanks Nerd. The format is perfect, one can jump around. Do they make 27 - 30 foot living space with an eight foot garage? Making it a 35 to 38 foot 5th wheel. How about a video on what does not come with the RV but you need it. Example, the black tank hose! Or maybe a video on all the accessories you can buy for RV. Prioritize them. I've been talking with friends who are thinking of doing what i plan to do when I retire. Buy a RV and go to all the places i could not get an 18 wheeler into. Oh, btw they now watch your videos too. We compare notes. I do not always comment but love your videos.

It's great to have bunks when you are camping with with two kids. That said, according to the regulations in my area (and lengths of my truck and boat), I need my fifth wheel to be 30 ft or less in order to be able to take the boat behind the trailer legally. It was really hard to find something to fit the bill.

Josh, on the 30ft or less with bunk house, you mentioned Volante 251BH. Don't forget the Cougar Sport has a 2700BH model and, as far as I know, is the only one under 30ft with triple bunks. We even talked about trading our Ibex in for one as recent as April, but we flat out can't find any in stock. It's highly likely to be our next RV, so that's why I'm even commenting. (Also we want to buy it from Bish's RV next go around :) )

Wow, Josh. I like a lot of these trailers. The ones I'd be most interested in have the ability to tandem pull. There are a number of motorcycle trailer companies that make rigid tandem pulls that have 4 wheels the all swivel independently to as to not interfere with the ability to back up the trailer. #NerdHerd

Josh: I really appreciate the chapter list with this video! You did miss one fifth wheel I like. I am a minimalist and appreciate rigs that maintain their value! Talk about light weight and fiberglass manufacturing. You won't find a smaller 5th wheel than the Scamp 19 foot fifth wheel! They are out of Minnesota and don't use dealers, so they are hard to find and see. However you could have added a floor plan and mentioned them on your video. Love your reviews, you are a one of a kind RV expert!

Thought we were 100% convinced we were buying the KZ240rkd. It’s an absolutely beautiful rig that has everything we want. However the length shown is not accurate. After driving 700 miles to check it out we found out it’s actually 34’ long. Such a bummer. Sadly we’re now back to considering the 22mle. Sure wish they’d put a fireplace in the hutch tho.

I promised another comment, but I seem to have written an essay...good luck if you decide to read this whole thing, top 5 at the bottom: *General notes* My use case is a solo traveler with a large dog, fulltime living planned but still need to work a few days a week, so need a *permanent* spot for an office. If I don't list a floorplan below I've decided it's not for me, usually it's because it's either a bunkhouse or there's a dinette in the way that can't be easily ripped out. *Alliance* Avenue 24RK - Like Breakfast bar, rear kitchen, theater seats, coffee hutch, decent optional solar package. Dislike lack of W/D prep. How's the road mode access? Lack of access is a deal breaker for bathroom/bedroom. *Coachmen* Chaparral 235RK - Similar to 24RK, prefer theater seating over trifold sofa. Looks like no road mode access to bathroom/bedroom which is a deal breaker. Again dislike lack of W/D prep. Chaparral 25RE - No road mode access (deal breaker), no W/D prep. Like freestanding dinette table standard, again prefer theater seating. ENT center in weird spot? I feel with a couple of tweaks this could be viable. *Cruiser* Essence 25RK - Like W/D prep, large shower, hutch + pantry, good kitchen counter space, excellent CCC, theater seats, & roller shades (Why not in kitchen/bedroom though? ESP kitchen, those blinds? Eww...). Don't like dinette, would prefer freestanding table or breakfast bar option. Electrical + ducting built into dinette makes it impractical to DIY a solution, makes it a deal breaker for me. They get a lot right, but the deal breakers obviously outweigh the good here. *Dutchmen* Shoutout to the 260RK (not listed). *technically* not under 30ft but 30'11". I like the unique dinette option, one of the few I would actually consider. Like theater seating, W/D prep, counter space, and somehow they crammed a king bed in there too! Not as much a fan that the bed is on a slide out though, personally I'd prefer the 60x80 queen oriented the other way. Also really like the Astoria 1500 2503REF (also not listed), though it seems to be dealer stock only. Hopefully not gone for good? Only real downside to that one is the limited counter space due to the massive swing away Ent center/pantry combo. I feel like a rear kitchen and normal sized pantry would have served it better. *Forest River* Arctic Wolf 27SGS - Recliners! I love floor plans with recliners, they're an easy space to adapt to your own needs. I wish more MFGs did a "classic" floor plan like this! I personally would use the space to take one recliner out and fit a nice little desk for some remote work/play on a laptop with a cheeky little dual monitor setup. Also like the central vac & the split bench/freestanding dining table which takes away the unpleasant properties of a more traditional dinette setup. The position of the ENT CTR and the storage around it suits the floorplan well. Ceiling fan is a nice homey touch. Wish it had W/D prep, that'd put it almost at the top of my short list. It looks like there's barely enough room, they just decided not to do it unless it's a bed slide model (see above, not a fan of bed slides)... Cardinal 23RK - one of the few floor plans with a dinette setup I'd consider, am I the only one that thinks lounging on that L shaped dinette to watch some TV might be a comfy option with some good throw pillows? Especially like the table looks removable, but kind of wish they'd have done a L shaped lounge sofa in the dinette's place and did a freestanding table that could move between the lounge and the theater seating, or get tucked away when not in use. Obligatory W/D prep is a plus as well, and love the counter space! I honestly don't know if it would work for me long term, but I'd be willing to give it a serious try if the right opportunity came along. Cherokee Black Label 256RRBL (Not listed) - Again going ever so slightly beyond 30ft at 30'7", but I wanted to call this one out because it's a cool design with a rear dinette/sofa and a patio door in the back with no slides, plus the ever elusive W/D prep! Definitely a unique combination that I'd love to see in person one day. I feel it could have used a little more counter space, would have been interesting if they put the pantry on the camp side wall and did a wrap around kitchen counter instead. Flagstaff 281RK - With the theater seating, I again love the rear kitchen + breakfast bar layout, ceiling fan is a nice homey touch, and I especially like the nearly full sized oven. That said, don't like the bed slide and with such a large shower a W/D prep space probably wouldn't be possible within the 30ft limitation here. If I could swap out the upstairs with one of the other W/D prep ones, it'd be a contender for the shortlist for sure. Impression 235RW - Love this layout, can you tell I'm a sucker for rear kitchen designs and breakfast bar seating yet? Major downside to this one though is the lack of road access to the bathroom and bedroom and that's a deal breaker to me. *Grand Design* I have nothing I would seriously look at with this brand anymore and that's a major disappointment. First, a general note I'm annoyed the floorplans here get discontinued so often. They used to have a Reflection (5th wheel or TT under 30', can't remember which) with a nice little desk in the corner, I can't even remember the name of it anymore, but I liked that one and it's gone after only 2-3 years. When it comes to GD, I feel like I'm more looking at the used market for anything I've seen in the past because their lineup changes so much. Nothing they currently offer really speaks to me but I will say the 270BN comes closest. My main problem is they just don't include the W/D prep on any of their 150/100 series reflection models, and they don't go small enough on their "fully featured" Reflection models either even though they used to. I'd honestly consider a few if they got down below 32' just because of their design philosophy and the noticeable improvement in fit & finish over some other brands, but without a suitable floorplan that's a moot point. GD used to be at the top of my list in terms of brand preference, but over the years It's steadily dropped. Theo only real interesting layout I found was their 24MAV which I like for their interesting use of the "garage" to place a murphy bed, but it still has too many negatives and some deal breakers. *Keystone* Just a note on the brand in general, one of my preferred due to build quality. I was lucky enough to get a last minute tour of their factory a year or two ago and was impressed with a lot of what they did compared to what I saw in other factory tours. I also really like the way they designed their centralized AC setup. Their selection of floorplans also includes a ton of unique options and I'm always excited when they release something new. Hope they keep up the awesome work, but please consider more W/D prep plans on some of your smaller units! Cougar 260MLE - One of the few "full featured" cougars that includes W/D prep under 30ft, I love the pull out table option on this one! Like the ceiling fan, good counter space, nice bathroom and shower. Great use of space, I am just not a fan of the bed slide. All that said, This one is honestly right near the top for me. Arcadia 246SLRK - Love the Ent center/desk/dinette space, shame they're relocating the TV but I see several reasons why they'd decide to do it. No W/D Prep is unfortunate, drops it off the otherwise surefire top 5 spot. 23MLE - Would be a contender with W/D prep, esp since it has freestanding dining table option and theater seating option. Not a fan of the in floor vent placement, wish they were a little more out of the way. *KZ* Durango HT D250RED - I really like this one. Feel like the compromise of a well placed, large ENT CTR with fireplace and the deeper but shorter kitchen counter space works well Also like the optional theater seating and that the bench+chairs are not permanently built in, makes it very easy to customize the space to my needs with a desk and PC setup. But wait, there's more! They have a "Full Timer's Desk" option?!?! Now you're speaking my language, KZ! I like how they managed to fit the W/D prep in the same space a lot of MFGs seem to omit in their layouts (I know, I know, it's getting to be a tired narrative...), and I do greatly prefer the slide out in the bedroom to be the wardrobe, not the bed. Roller shades are a plus, and floor vents are out of the way (looking at you, Keystone!) If I had any nitpicks, it'd be the size of the stove. Just seems tiny compared to the residential fridge and residential sized microwave. Go big or go home (preferably go big). Also I wish that optional solar package was just a little larger considering the residential fridge. *Northwood* Ah, Northwood. I really, really want one of these. I might even give up the W/D prep option for that 235RLS with the optional recliners, if not for the fact I'd be stuck with the dinette seating most of the time. They're a company that gets a lot of the very important stuff right. I just wish they had a floor plan that suited me. ----- So, that's my list. I guess based on all this my top 5 would be: 1. Durango HT D250RED 2. Cougar 260MLE 3. Cherokee Black Label 256RRBL 4. Cardinal 23RK 5. Arctic Wolf 27SGS - would probably be #1 or #2 if not for the lack of W/D prep! I have to be honest, that desk option on the Durango HT is what got it to the number one spot. I didn't even know that existed until I took a look at the floor plan today, so thank you Josh for your effort in putting this video out for us! Can't wait to see it in person some day, or better yet see it featured on the channel!
