Fifth Wheel with Full Wall Slideout

Slideouts in RVs are better than sliced bread, or so we've heard. We're still limping along with a no-slidem and wish we had the extra space. Our pocketbook probably won't allow it, but here's a new wrinkle: A fifth-wheel with a slideout the runs from the living room up and into the bedroom. Read that a 37' fifth wheel with a 30' slideout.

Sound crazy? These are hard times for RV builders, and being the first guy on the block with a new innovation appears to be the thing for manufacturers this year. The builder, Carriage Inc., has rolled out their new Carri-Light with this interesting approach. You won't find it to be a low-ender, however, along with the new slide comes Corrian countertops and leather furniture. For about $90K plus, you can be the first kid on your block to have one.
