    New to me fifth wheel.

    We after selling my camper on a waterfront lot a little under two years ago, we got the itch to start camping again. After lots of looking and seeing lots of campers with issues, including a 4 year old Jayco that had a rotten spot in the roof, that I only found out about when I was inspecting it after a 5 hour drive to go and buy it. If any of you are looking, you know how fast reasonably priced units are selling and how many pieces of junk people are trying to get rid off.

    We purchased a 2016 Keystone 315FRE that was in great condition and only 30 miles away after I had been searching the whole country at only 33' long it should work out well as we plan on lots of travel and didn't want to deal with pulling a 40+ all over the country. Wish me luck.

    Good catch on the roof. Probably was a spongy floor spot somewhere as well. It's sad to see how many people buy a trailer and then neglect to maintain them. Have a coworker that I'm always nagging at to inspect his roof. He's had it 4 years and never even given it a look.

    Nice camper. We have a 34.5' 5th wheel. They are a great size for all around camping, more spots that fit the size than the 40-42' rigs.

    I was looking at rigs under 35' for the extra spots you can get into.

    Congratulations! We have a 36’ 5er on orDee. I agree, I don’t want a 42 footer either.

    I assume your Ram is a short bed. What hitch did you go with? I’m still trying to decide.
