WHICH TOW VEHICLES IT FITS: 33 OF 95

HOW IT'S BUILT: 5/5
WallsAzdel composite
FrameAluminum
RoofWalk-on
UnderbellyEnclosed

KZ (Mixed tier): Ridgeway is KZ's newest fifth wheel (Thor Industries), launched for 2025 to sit above Durango. The spec sheet is genuinely upper-tier — aluminum-framed laminated sidewalls over Azdel composite on a powder-coated steel I-beam chassis, a walk-on Tufflex PVC roof with a lifetime warranty, heated and enclosed underbelly with in-floor heated PEX, dual 13.5K A/Cs standard and KZ's two-year hitch-to-bumper warranty. It is too new to have an owner track record, and KZ's history of uneven assembly is the reason it sits in the middle rather than at the top.

Findable: a few listed nationwide most weeks. Why: KZ is a volume manufacturer; only one model year; still in production. Estimated from build volume and production span, not a count of live listings.

OUR TAKE

R-Series bunkhouse — sleeps ten under 11,000 lb GVWR with a single slide and 40×70 triple bunks.
