Any recommendations in buying a 5th wheel camper?
Make sure your pickup is right for the job.

Just remember at the RV shows, there is a Retail price, show price and then the selling price. never be afraid to make an offer and then walk, You can always come back.The wife and I don't own a fifth wheel yet. We are going to start attending the local RV shows soon to scope out what we want to buy used several years down the road. There are many barely used 5th wheels available in the $10-$15,000 range.

If you can remember all that info several years from now.We don't intend to buy new. We are looking over candidates that we will buy used several years from now. When they become available on the secondary market, we will know the layout of the different models ahead of time. That will save time and gas money by not chasing all over looking at all the wrong ones.
We're going to take notes and collect brochures.If you can remember all that info several years from now.
Filling the plumbing with antifreeze.I'm not sure what winterizing it means
I never had to winterize mine either over here in NC but mine did have the insulated underbelly also.Filling the plumbing with antifreeze.
It's a process I never have to do in SoCal.
A short or long bed pickup can make a difference with a 5th wheel RV. I have a sliding fifth wheel on my shortbed. Long beds can have a fixed one.
Have fun, Stan.
You got it driver...lol.And that Trans Am can pull it no problems????
