You don't see too many fifth wheels with the floorplan having a door on each side anymore. Jayco used to have a fifth wheel floorplan with a door on each side too but it's been a few years.

Our 323RBX has a back door. We love this arrangement with a 12 yo grandson that goes everywhere with us.

The single-door model was made for intercity use and was geared better for the open road. Still topped out at about 65, though
Curios to what year that one is, because I don't recall GM offering them with the square headlights, although that one looks like the headlights might be a modification from the old dual-round style

Great! That's 15-20 minutes of my life I won't get back. lol
I cannot find any with square headlights except obvious newer units... must be a mod.

I saw several new units being delivered south on 75 in January that had a door in back end of trailer. Found several different brands on line most floor plans door goes into bathroom.

I thought this small bus was an unusual choice for a tow vehicle. Yes, there is a hitch on the rear of the bus.

Never seen a camper this small. The closet in our fifth wheel is bigger.

If you have 5 kids this may be your only option with that trailer unless one of the kids can drive another vehicle...creative solution.

Short wheelbase and a LOOOoonng way from the hitch to the back axle. I bet that thing rides like a pogo stick with the trailer attached.

Truck looks a little high in the nose. Wonder how well it steers.

Wonder what the pin weight of that is. I can put 3,500 lbs in the back of mine and it doesn't squat like that. That looks like it is sitting on the bump stops. Would hate to tow like that.

Steering is highly over rated when you can't see where you are going anyway.
Hey look at those pretty clouds!

Hitch may be installed a little too far back, also. That is some serious squatting!
