I seen a picture on here a couple years ago of a fifth wheel camper that had an additional extension to the camper over the bed and cab of the tow vehicle. (It would be where the bedroom typically is in a fifth wheel), but I can not remember the name of or the manufacturer of the camper. Does anyone have any ideas who would have made a unit like this? Thanks

Glendale Titanium RV 5th wheels.
They went belly up in the first month of 2010. Very progressive RV Builder!

Wow,

I wonder how much more wind(air) resistance that frontal area gave vs a regular 5th wheel?

I've seen NEW units with what they call the Titanium pkg. Heartland is one that comes to mind. Did they buy out Glendale?

Heartland bought their "intellectual property".

Less! They actual get better mileage due to the design.
