You can find Carriage fifth wheel campers relatively cheap depending on the year. Now a 1986 will not be found, but I did find a used 1992 5th wheel for ninety-seven hundred.
It was a thirty-three foot length and 8 ft wide. Some of things included for this model were oven, four burner stove, one slide out, refrigerator with double doors, outside shower and awnings over the windows.
It also had electric front level jacks. Not bad for a used fifth wheel camper this old. I was impressed with the condition, which was good and the exterior and interior looked great.
The new models I saw in North Dakota and North Carolina were nice for the buy. The specifications are what intrigued me. The exterior height is about twelve feet and the dry weight is about two thousand pounds depending on the model. The fresh water tank holds eighty-two gallons and the black and grey tanks hold fifty gallons. The models also have two axels with a load capacity up to thirty-eight hundred pounds. You will find a RV outlet and second basement door in the rear. These are the standard specifications.
The Carriage fifth wheel campers can also be upgraded to luxury, performance and interior packages. Some of these include power jacks in the back, aluminum wheels, Corian countertops, floor safe, water purifier, electric dump values and a solar panel.
You can also have central vac and a washer and dryer. This all seems like a place I would cal home. The floor is 5/8 inch plywood with a roof made with 1/2 inch plywood. There is also a crank down for the spare tire.
I really do not know how much more easier camping and traveling could be. The 5th wheel camper stands up to time and is very comfortable and easy to tow.
