    Who makes, or what is the largest size sleeper? Excluding those custom Sleepers that you usually see used by moving companies.

    Kw does a studio sleeper...86" I think
    Pete has 78" for 389 and 80" for 579

    Just make sure you can move 5th wheel forward enough for weight distribution. I'd rather have a bit smaller of a sleeper than my 78". Then again, I'd rather a flat top and the medium one I think 52".

    72" studio the only way to go room to stand up and get dressed I'd take 60 too though. Flat tops look neat but I'd hate to try get dressed in one of those, only thing worse would be a cabover.

    72" studio is perfect for w9
    I'm short so don't really need a stand up. My thinking is it should weigh less. Mine is very heavy. I'd like to take some off the tare weight if possible. For the next one. And I think it looks good.

    The kw flattops are I know but the studios look better if you ask me, can you stand up in the new pete flats?

    I don't think they really weigh that much less it's just a little extra fiberglass and aluminum maybe a couple hundred pounds different which can make a difference I guess.
