I have had two small 5th wheels in past years, a Sprinter Lite and a Komfort, both of those were in the 21 to 23 foot range and both you had to crawl into bed. They were great for towing and getting around tight spots and they served our needs for many years, mostly hunting and fishing camps, but we now have moved up to high profile and slide outs. We feel like we are staying in a hotel now!

There are quite a few that are a bit taller than the older small trailers. We can't stand up in the bedroom area, but, we don't have to crawl. I can sit up in bed with no problems.

We like our Skyline Nomad Scout. We got the one with the slide and it made a bunch of difference for us because of the Sheepdog

Our traveling weight is around 6500lb with pin weight around 1100.

It did take a lot of looking for use to find a good used one.
