Pick the Dutchmen Astoria Fifth Wheel 260RK if…
Pick the Dutchmen Astoria 260RK if you need sleeps-6 capacity in a 31.7 ft Fifth Wheel and prefer Dutchmen build. The 260RK at 8,344 lb dry on a 9,600 lb GVWR needs at least a 3/4-ton tow truck, and the 1,256 lb cargo capacity is on the modest side. The 78 gal grey tank handles week-long stays between dumps. Best fit: family Fifth Wheel buyers who need sleeps-6 in a rear-kitchen layout and prefer Dutchmen brand at $60,184.

The 9,995 lb GVWR with 1,645 lb cargo capacity gives 389 lb more loadout room than the Astoria. The sleeps-4 capacity is the trade-off for families needing more sleeping. Best fit: couples or small-family Fifth Wheel buyers who want the loaded spec, slide, and four-season build at $55,643.
