Doubt this is the venue -- but perhaps?
Anyone have experience with 5th wheel campers?
Been looking at all them and are completely blitzed. So may makes, models, submodels,floor plans, etc. We have it narrowed down to a couple - but it looks like they're all the same?
I'm finding out that all the brands are owned by Thor Industries -- but the dealers all say shit about the others (Forest River bashes Heartland, Heartland bashes Jayco, Jayco bashes Heartland and Forest River, etc).

I live 30 minutes from Elkhart IN where most of the major brands you mention are made. Unfortunately that entire industry is a mess. They are all using the same business model. Pound out as many units as absolutely possible as fast and cheap as possible. Unfortunately "quality control" is rarely a priority. Not saying they are all bad, but they generally aren't built the best. I don't own a camper, and am not up on all of the models so unfortunately I'm not sure what brands/models are better than others, but just be careful and do as much research as possible before you snag one, and make sure it has a good warranty. There is a lot of junk out there.

Not a dang thing. I'm going tenting this weekend with the boys at the lake for a night to take the SxS out and explore, do some fishing, drink some beer and enjoy a campfire.
Cross county trips tenting just isn't an option for what we have planned.
We have it narrowed down to these guys --
Heartland Fuel 362
Heartland Torque (don't recall the model, but it's a 39'er).
Forest River XLR Boost (same, another 38'er).
Jayco Talon (big boy, 43'er).
From what I can tell, the Fuel, Torque and Talon are all made on the same damn line. Quality appears to be the same, but Jayco has a much better warranty than the others.

Having worked at a dealer, I just wouldn't. Rent one when you need it.
I really like the way aaawelder put it: "do not include yourself in this circuit"
