Western Recreational Vehicles 1987 Alpenlite 22' Fifth Wheel

1987 Alpenlite 22' Fifth Wheel

This 1987 Alpenlite stands out for all the right reasons: sturdier old-school construction, one of the best layouts you’ll find in a compact fifth wheel, and a bright window-lined living area that makes the whole space feel open, calm, and connected to the outdoors. Finished in Mallard Feather Green and thoughtfully renovated with expanded kitchen counters, added storage, and practical off-grid improvements, it’s a rare mix of vintage charm and real usability. Could be a great rental, office, guest house or hunting camp. Must see to appreciate.
