We have an 04'- Komfort - 23' that we bought new in 05'
That's about the smallest I have seen.
They don't make this size in fifth wheel trailers any more.
Why? I would guess people want bigger.
We can't stand up in the bedroom, but we get up there to sleep not have a party! Also has a slide out dinette.
Pull it with a 1/2 ton GMC. Have covered over 10,000 miles.
P.M. me if you would like more info on this trailer.

Besty,

Take a look at this thread about tiny 5ers. There are a few images as well. One of them was an image I took in Elkhart of a trailer called Lil' 5th. Sotty that I don't know the brand but it looked like a fiberglass sidewalled unit and pretty short. Probably in the 2-' range.

This is a very timely thread. We're starting to investigate smaller units. We want to park our 33' Jayco on a permanent site and want a smaller unit to travel with. So far, we have found a Starcraft Antigua in the 25' range that we like.

I'll be watching this one closely.

Rshidler,

The original poster was asking about a 20' 5th wheel which may be harder to find, but if you are looking for something a little bit bigger, in my brand alone (Arctic Fox/ Nash) there are three, 21' 23' (same as the 21 but with a small slide) and the one we have which is a 25'. I'm sure there are many more brands with a smaller trailer to fit your needs.

Thanks Mike ... are you happy with the Arctic Fox? Not sure how long it will be before we can "pull the trigger" (probably a few years) but I don't mind beginning my research early.
