Thinking of upgrading

I currently have a 2017 Surveyor 243RBS TT and I am thinking of upgrading to a Prime Time Crusader 297RSK 5th wheel. Anyone currently own the 297RSK? We really like the floor plan and the 11'9" height fits in our RV port (12'). Is this a good move? I cannot find many other 5th wheels that will fit in a 12' port.

Pretty sure that 11'9" height doesn't include the a/c shroud.

Yup. Get the tape measure out.

I did measure. It is 11’9” without the 2nd (front) a/c. Thanks

We have a 2016 Crusader 297RSK. Love the outside kitchen and the floor plan. Making the bed on the right hand side is a challenge as there is not a lot of room. Bathroom vanity is really small barely enough room to set a tooth brush. Other than that, it is a really nice fifth wheel. It has lots of storage in side and out. Pulls really nice behind my 3/4 ton Ram diesel.Click image for larger version

Thanks for the reply. We did notice how tight one side of the bed was but not a deal breaker My truck looks exactly the same except is Delmonico Red. Glad to hear it pulls nice. I think I’m sold.

We have a 2020 297RSK and we love it. It is just the right size for my wife and I, and two grandkids. I like the large fridge that will still run on propane, and the fit and finish is almost as good as our old Montana. I agree that the headroom walking to the bed on the right side is very low, but that's why it's not 13.5' tall too!! One other thing that it has that not many have is a nightstand on each side of the bed. My wife and I both use a CPAP at night, and nightstands were a requirement. Again, it's a really good fit for us and we love it!!
