I am looking for info on lightweight 5th wheels that could be towed by a well equipped 1/2 ton truck, specifically a 1500 Hemi Ram (my 3500 cummins was totalled last week).

So far on my short list are the smallest of the Forest River's Rockwood and Surveyor and K-Z's Spree. Any others out there?

As for the weight police, this isn't my first time around the block (check sig).

Thanks.

Northwood sells a 20footer that is offered as Nash and Arctic Fox.

I think Skyline makes a 24 or 25 lightweight under the name of Nomad, Layton or Aljo.

Northwood---Arctic Fox and Nash---5th wheels has recently come out with a 23 ft'r that can be pulled by a 1/2 ton--also, it has a slide which really increases the living area--check it out, Lars

ANY of the Rockwood 5th wheels are easily within the specs of my half ton and can't imagine that Dodge doesn't ALSO have a model that would handle them. Good luck / Skip
