I am new to the forum and new to RV'ing. We are looking at the CruiserRV Enterra 316RKS TT but DH would prefer a 5th wheel. The reason we like the Enterra is the large kitchen, 3 slides & fairly modern decor (it's about $35K). It's just the two of us & dogs, so room to sleep 4 is plenty. GVWR on the Enterra is 10,970 (would prefer a little lighter). Any suggestions? I appreciate all opinions - thank you!

We were looking at the 30FK V Lite that had a large front kitchen double living room slide and a bedroom slide. Thought it was large and cool, decided that at 75 years, didn't want to buy something to be paying on until we're 90. JMHO

Check out the Palomino Sabre line. We liked a couple of them. Looking for a good size usable kitchen. Weight is reasonable. The 31CKTS and the 32RCTS are my favorites.

We're form Canada and have a 36ft cougar fith wheel, 326. It is only sold up here but we love the size of the kitchen, it probably has a good 10 ft. Of counter space and a 22 inch oven. We are able to cook a 15 lb turkey in it It weighs under 10,000 lbs and when we bought it newi in 2010 it was under $37,000. Have added a 4k Onan Genny and solar since.

If you want a 5th wheel check out the Cruiser 305SK. We have the older (2010) 30SKP which is the same floor plan but the new ones have a flat floor in the bedroom.
Large "L" shaped kitchen w/ Corian counter top on the Patriot edition. We love ours and usually camp with 4. The only thing I don't like is the short awning due to the slide on that side, but the DW loves the kitchen. Our dry weight is about 9,000 lbs. and just over 10,200 loaded.

Go look.... Shows, RV lots on line searches, RV trader. You need to spent time inside to get a feel of the RV model. So many options in what your looking for, and remember the online cabinet shops....

Kitchen is something which will be used extensively. So its better you shop for it with patience. Prepare a detail description of your requirement and start looking for it.

Look at the Silverback 29RE or RL. 35" 3 slides with Cathedral ceilings. We have the 29re and I was able to add a free standing island in the kitchen with lots of room left
