Does Forest River make a trailer similar to this?
I would like to buy a travel trailer no longer than 27' overall. I would like the following amenities: one or more slides, two recliners, fireplace. Does Forest River make such a trailer? I found this in a Jayco, 2014 Jayco Jay Flight (Travel Trailer) - 26 RLS, however it is a little longer than I need.

Those requirements may be tough to find in a camper that's 27' or less. Don't be fooled that the model numbers mean actual overall length ie, the Jayco 26RLS is 30' overall.
Here's a link to the complete Forest River recreational line. The info you need can found there... Forest River Inc., A Berkshire Hathaway Company | Recreational Vehicles, Park Model Trailers, Commercial Buses, Commercial Trailers, Pontoons

Can it be a fifth wheel?

I can totally relate. I bought a bumper pull cause I wanted to load my Kawasaki KLR in the bed........and didn't want a toy hauler.

like Dave says, many think the model number is its length. nearly all TT's are 3'-4' longer than their model number.
i've been shopping for something similar and i'm not finding anything no longer than 27'.
i've been looking for a TT that i can tow with my Avalanche, which has a tow max of 7200lbs.
not having a lot of success finding something the DW likes, that will fit the Avy's specs.

With a RZR in the bed and a long TT, make sure you GVW is OK.

The numbers often do correlate very closely to LIVING area length, but not always. You have to add 3-4' for tongue and bumper. So, are you talking 27' living or 27' total. 27' total puts you at around 23-24' living, and most in this size are not going to have a living area layout with recliners and fireplace. You might check out the Rockwood 2604WS. It has an overall length of 29'8". Doesn't appear to have a fireplace, but maybe one could be added or you could just use one of the freestanding electric fireplaces that are pretty popular.

Just read the OP again. Clearly states 27' overall. I don't know of anything that'll fit the bill.
Closest thing I can find to the length you want is a Palomino Puma 25RS at 28' total. But no slide and you'd have to use a freestanding fireplace.
