Decided to help out the economy yesterday.
Bought a new 2009 Keystone Raptor 299MP 5th wheel toy hauler. Bought it from a wholesaler, will be delivered to my house next week.
This is a pic of one that looks just like the one we got:



Since I have a shortbed and already have a B&W turnover ball GN hitch installed, I went with this for my hitch. Plugs into the B&W socket and is a sliding 5th wheel. It's called the Colibert Rail Rider.



Gonna be a long week until next Friday

Congrats, looks real nice.

Thanks y'all
My friend bought a 2009 Weekend Warrior triple axle 39 footer last Saturday. It was used 6 times and he got a smokin' deal on it. My wife and I went and checked his out on Sunday and that was all she needed to finally say "lets do this". We had been kicking the idea around for a while, but seeing the inside of one broke the camels back
I had a list of "must haves" and a list of "would be nice to have", this one fit the bill all the way around and we got an awesome deal too.

Thanks

Here are the toys, a 2004 Polaris Sportsman 400, a 2000 Honda XR-250 and a 2006 Polaris Sportsman 800



Here is a link for the hitch: Colibert RailRider

About all I know is that it is rated at 18K, fits in the B&W hole with no drilling, it is a slider and there is "some" assembly required, as it is being shipped in 4 boxes .
The model number is 207BW.
I thought I could go with the Valley Trailer Hitch adapter (fits into a B&W hole) and then buy a Valley Trailer sliding 5th wheel hitch. Problem is, along with their adapter, you need a rail support kit. For Dodge, they only make the kit for 2003 and up model years
The Colibert seemed like the best option (was a about $1000 with free shipping)
The B&W companion was not attractive as it does not have sliding capability.

The garage area is 10' by 8' 2". It will be a tight fit, but I am hoping to get both wheelers in it without turning them. If I have to turn them, they will definitely fit, but it will be a little bit of a pain.

Kevin,
When you come back, take your wife to a dealer and let her see the inside of one, like I said, that's all it took for my wife

Thanks for your service. Keep your head down, OHH RAHH

Great looking setup!

I know of a great place to store things if you run out of room.

Hey Alan,

Just in case you get lost...

I've got 3 GPS's and an internal nav system in my head. How could I possibly get lost?
The only time I got lost is when I listened to my wife

Thanks for the spot, hope to need it some day
