Thank you

I think there is one for sale in Canada that has been talked about on Bigfoot Facebook groups. I don't have a link, but you can search Facebook.

Good choice.

Very few built. I've seen 3 dual axle models and one single axle in the last 10 years. I was interested in getting one myself. In fact, I'm still interested but I feel both models would require a full size pick up to pull and I'm not ready to go bigger with a tow vehicle.

Thank you Cindy. We did see that but are hoping to find one in the United States and/or someone in Canada who is willing to bring theirs across the boarder. I really appreciate the response.

It's not that easy. You need to import the trailer into the U.S. Proper forms, etc.

Google it.

JD, hope you find one in the states, but they are pretty rare down here, and just don't come up for sale very often. However, they are pretty common up in Canada, I looked for two years in Canada before I found ours. Most I looked at needed lots of work due to there age.
My understanding is most did not carry certification for the states, only for Canada, that was the case for the one I imported. To legally import a Canada only certified unit it needed to be over 25 years old to be exempt from that certification. (There's certification stickers on the outside of the trailer)
The customs paperwork really was not bad.
I'll say that it was worth the effort, there a great little 5th wheel, roomy and tows like a dream behind a half ton pickup, hold out for the double axle model, well balanced, I get no up and down sway that most single axle trailers exhibit. I do 80 mph across the desert.
Good luck!

I have a 1998 FW 26, dual axle, which has been in barn storage for 10 years. Before storage everything was functional. It will need batteries, wheel bearing check and tires. A window in the galley is broken, I have the glass replacement, will need to be installed. Trailer is in very good condition with very little use. We moved to a slide in truck camper to tow boat or Jeep. 3000 series top of the line. Includes hitch,you will need rails for specific truck. $4500 firm. 509-466-5925.
