A sister company to Northwoods is Outdoors RV. They have some shorter 5th wheels as well. Outdoors RV - Fifth Wheels
We just bought a F26CIS, just 30', with 3 slides. Two opposing slides in the main living area and a smaller wardrobe/closet slide in the bedroom. It's quite nice and a bit higher end than some other smaller 5th wheels. Tows great and no issues turning with the SB F350 and a GVWR of under 13K.

Thinking about downsizing to the sub 30' class fifth wheel, but must have a slide out in the bedroom.
So far I've only found Lakota by Mckenzie. Is this a decent brand & model for full timers?
Any other suggestions for well built 5th wheel models with two slide outs under 30 feet?
Also, don't mind if it's older, so long as it's in good shape.
Thanks!
ps- If you have a fifth wheel under 30' with a bedroom slide for sale let me know...

Does it handle better like that or did you do it for other reasons such as clearance when going off road locations?

We have a few smaller 5'ers here in the UK, most are sold through one dealer who has them built to his spec, they are branded as Kountrylite here & I don't know who manufactures them but they come with up to 4 slides but still under 30ft! Just seen this Winnie on ebay here too Winnebago Lite-Five 28FWBHS American 5th wheel Bunkhouse/Showmans/Caravan/RV | eBay 2 slides & a bunk house.
Here's a link to the dealer for Kountrylite Used RV Sales in Scotland, UK from Calder Leisure

F-350 is stock. I turn the 5er around in my field before parking and was looking for more clearance at the truck bed. Handles exactly the same as before adding the kit. Axles are perfectly alligned but it is nice to have the adjustment if needed in the future.

The ball is almost 6 inches back from the gooseneck ball located in the truck. This also gave me more clearance between the truck and 5th wheeler. Everything this hitch does is a big plus. Not installed in the truck now so I can't get the other measurement.

I have the chain kit for this year. Not an easy question to answer.
