Hello! New member here! Looking for to buy a camper just like the ones in the picture. I believe it's roughly 25' long. If anyone can't point me to one I would appreciate it! Help with the make and model would be much appreciated as well!

What, exactly, is it about THAT camper that appeals so much? I ask because there are alternatives to that brand that would be fairly similar in size, but perhaps with a different floor plan.
For example, my 2002 Coachman is 25', not counting the over-bed sleeping quarters, for a total length of 30', and it pulls reasonably decent with a 2004 Ford F150. I do suspect I'm marginal for a tow vehicle, however.

I'm open to any 5th wheel in that same foot print to be honest. Just was looking for some reasonably priced. I've got a 2020 Nissan Titan XD so I can tow roughly 12k.
 
So fifth length is from pin to bumper. That makes the box size 20' plus or minus, for a 25 or 26' fifth wheel trailer!

Your tow capacity is limited first by loading capacity of the truck! On a fifth 15% of it's weight is on the pin! As an example my 26' fifth has a GVWR of #8700 that requires if properly loaded, my truck capacity exceeding #1300 !!!

In my case a RAM 1500 with heavy duty springs, is very close to over the limit!

To combat the discrepancy, I double pull so I can utilize the tow capacity while loading the fifth only with what must be!

For the record! In a year that fifth will become available, if my latest project turns out to be what I expect it to be!
