Not aware of a 5th wheel hybred?????

Hybreds are targeted for tt pulled by small suv......to keep lbs. low....

I have a light weight 5er that weights 3900lbs dry....pulled by a 1/2 ton truck..

Forget any slides they add alot of weight in a hurry....:drinking1

We have a King of Road 29ft 5th wheel. It has a 14ft slideout and it makes a world of difference in the space. The slideout opens up the room and makes it feel more like a room at home. A 5th wheel is easier to pull if you have a truck.

We have a 22ft 5th wheel with a dinette slide. The slides do make a big difference. It is also towed by a 1/2 ton truck.

Thanks! Grumpy we have a half ton and we are at max weight rec'd at 7000 pounds! Wow!
That makes sense about the hybreds being for SUVs. We are going to wait a year and make do with our old one until we get a bigger truck.
Happy camping!

We have a 32' Layton 297 bunkhouse model 5th wheel that I pull with an F350 crewcab dually diesel. We had a pop-up before and the hybrids do not interest me at all.

We have a 21 ft. Jayco Kiwi hybrid towed with an F150. Who says hybrids were made for SUV's? I like the idea that, when opened, my hybrid has the interior space of a 30' TT.
