Fifth wheelbuilt 2012–18Mixed build tierCommon on the used market
WHAT ONE COSTS
$35,300est. used (2018, 8 yr old)

Sticker was $60,272 in 2017. Out of production since 2018, so the used market is the only way to buy one. Estimate assumes a 2018 unit.

WHAT IT WEIGHS BEHIND YOUR TRUCK
~11,383 lbestimated as towed, for 2 people

dry weight 10,024 lb + fresh water (67 gal, full) 559 lb + propane + battery 200 lb + gear for 2 600 lb. Brochure dry weight omits water, propane, batteries and your gear; this estimate doesn't.

You want a tow rating around12,650 lb (10% margin)
GVWR (the sticker maximum)12,192 lb
Tongue weight, loaded~2,285 lb (20%)
Cargo capacity2,168 lb
WHICH TOW VEHICLES IT FITS: 22 OF 95

Judged the way the app judges: estimated loaded weight against each vehicle's rating less a 10% margin, per model year, because the 293RKS's published weights changed mid-run. Fifth wheels also need a pickup bed and are held to the fifth-wheel rating where published.
