If you’ve always wanted a fifth-wheel but were put off by the need for a large tow vehicle, Starcraft has just the model for you. The new GSL Light Duty has plenty of features and amenities and an expansive and open floorplan. Best of all, it is light enough to be towed by a half-ton pickup and has a price tag that is easy on the wallet too.
At 27’ 5” in length at weighing in at just 6,910 pounds, the GSL Light Duty is one of the lightest fifth-wheels on the market. At that weight, it is easily towed behind a Ford F-150, Chevy Silverado, Dodge Ram, or similar half-ton pickup. The trailer’s approachable size also makes it an excellent choice for RVers looking for a nimble, easy-to-maneuver model to take on their camping adventures.

The trailer utilizes TuffShell™ vacuum-bonded laminated construction and a reinforced heavy-duty fiberglass and aluminum frame to keep weight to a minimum while maintaining durability. It comes with a four-point auto leveling system, a low-maintenance PVC roofing membrane, and triple-sealed slide-outs and corners to ensure comfort at the campsite. It comes equipped for 50-amp shore power service, a 2” receiver hitch, electric brakes, and support for up to three 20 lb. propane tanks.

Other amenities include a JBL® Bluetooth sound system, an HDTV, a queen-sized bed, and a power awning with built-in lighting.
