I just pulled the triger and purchased a Puma 29KBH

This is my first 5th wheel ... And very excited !!!


Are their any 29KBH owner out there that wouldn't mind sharing their experience with the unit

Also first time dealing with RV Wholesalers ..... Does any one have a opinion of their service , I was quoted the best price , after a long search ..., but I will have to pick it up from I'm from Massachusetts to Ohio .....
I'll be broken in by the time I get home !

Welcome to the forum!

As far as info on RVW, there's lots here on the forum, mostly positive. Just type RVW in the search line and read away.

Are you sure of the number? It does not look like its a 5th wheel.

welcome to the forum !

one mod I would suggest is buying or making some jack stabilizers . A king pin stabilizer IMO is a waste of time,money and space . I made my own but they can be bought as a kit . YOU will notice fore and aft movement once you start using the unit especially if you have kids .
heres what my home made ones look like . Less than $100.00 investment.

You re going to enjoy it inspite of probably seeing probably another 25 cents a gallon added to your fuel bite!

Looks like a nice trailer though. I have a lot of misgivings about slideouts, but I am the odd duck on that and the outside kitchen.

If you get a genset, you might want to get one with remote start. That is nice when you re rolling down the road about 1/2 hour from your rest stop. You can click on the genset and get the trailer cooled down for your stop.
