Sticky about full time living 5th wheels?
A friend of mine is looking at brands for fifth wheels and trying to find the ones that are for full-time living and I remember seeing a sticky a long time ago where people had all those different brands and stuff mentioned where would I find that so that I can send it to him?

Stewfish, tell your buddy that irv2 isn't the only forum in town, and he should search around.

Stewfish, tell your buddy to start a 'new thread' titled " Full time 5'ers,what's your rig"
Then ask for, make , mod. , year. Nothing more.
Try to eliminate crap like well this one is 4 season, this one has that ? Find out who has what ! and are they happy. Real world stuff.

Full Time living easy
New
artic fox
new horizons
spacecraft
and if unlimited funds 7 figures
Anderson mobile estates
Used
Excel
Newmar
NuWa
Teton
artic fox
Travel Supreme
All those are mostly heavy weights need DRW truck to even think of towing one. Teton think 450 or bigger same Travel Supreme.
Dont look at GVW on the rig. Rigs i mentioned are fat boys on pin weight. My pin aka hitch weight via scales is 6200 yes thats right.
Some will give you heatland grand design etc. If its not 17-20k its not heavy enough for full time in my oponion. True full time rigs are heavy period. Im 23k as i sit now and 35k combined
