Define "holds the road"

Actually, if you consider quality, in that size range, your list is,
well, short:

New Horizons
Nash/Artic Fox (what I own)
SunnyBrook
CruiserRV
NuWa

Although with some of these brands, you are forced in used only, as
they no longer build rigs that small

As I have a small Funfinder built by CruiserRV, I looked to see what
their 5ers looked like. Couldn't find any. What did I do wrong?

 They may have stopped building them, I haven't checked in a couple
years

Are you sure they make 5ers?

I think the Funfinders are for entry level RVers and they probably don't
make 5ers.

Doubletree) which builds Mobile Suites high line 5Ws.

Hi Camille!  Long time, no see. Hope all's well with you. Business  slow

I'll second the Fox as mine has held onto the road from Coast to Coast to
Coast and to Coast (Pacific, Atlantic, Gulf of Mexico and Cook Inlet) and up
as far North as Coldfoot Alaska.

If I had to buy another about the same size, I would buy this one again.
