ATC 5th Wheel TH??

[Dagwood_55]

Anyone on here actually have the ATC 5th Wheel TH?? Or seen one??

I'm interested in possibly ordering one, but I won't spend 100K till Ive looked and at least sat in one. My local dealer has a couple of ATC TT's but no 5er, nor has he ever had one.

I called ATC CS and they said there was only one for sale in the US, in Madison WI, too far for me to drive for a looksee. And they said there are none on order and they had only made a few, just not sure how many a few is.

Be nice if someone near AR, TX or in the south actually had one. They sure seam to be made like what I'd want if I was making one....

Dont recall me stating the metal cabinets were chincy...specifically.

And dont confuse real wood and quality cabinet construction methods vs the **** that is produced from Indiana.

And to take your challange would be a waste. They just picked up my Voltage, it was totalled out. Bent frame, hitch and outriggers. 20k miles.

This was my 2nd and last rv brand toyhauler I am done. I am in the final stages of a ATC custom build design(dont like their "toyhaulers" not what I want for $100k trailer) or Sundowner

I think the quality in an ATC is what I'm wanting from a RV. Its the cold, non homey feeling I'm afraid of. Metal everwhere, shiney, cold. I'm just not sure I can get used to all that. Even tho I know its a better product than the fake wood and cheep stuff in my Grand Design now.

And I'm in the wood biz (we make wood trim), so I do like the look, feel and warmth of wood. I think at this point I would be happier with a New Horizon 5th wheel, I just need to come up with the $150K difference to make it happen.

ATC can build you what you want with wood.

The prototype is still for sale at a discounted price. However it only has 2 axels instead of the production 3 axels

ATC has only made 3 5'r TH's from what I understand. One prototype and two actual units for sale. This is a departure from their normal routine so don't expect them to mass produce the units.

I'm sure you've seen this video:

Have you seen this one? It's not their new toy hauler, but this is a nice setup.

I am in your boat. Went and looked at BP ATC haulers. Expext the same feeling just bigger. Industrial, cold and I thought the interior was chincy. Frame and structure built like a brick $#!@house but not warm inviting.

ATC can build a custom hauler w/LQ out of their Quest line of cargo to your spec for around the same $. You will lose alot of the camper/rv features like basement storage.

I had never heard of ATC till you mentioned it. I went to their web site. Interesting looking trailers. They appear more industrial than recreational to me anyway. I did not read about build stats or any of that stuff . I’m in the same boat looking for a top quality 5th wheel. For $100,000 the are choices.
Take a look at DRV ,or used New Horizons for quality and Vanleigh also.
