On May 20, 2008 we moved into our third Luvnest, a 2007 NuWa
Hitchhiker II LS 34.5 RLTG. It is a 36' long fifth wheel with an open
floorplan that includes three slides and offers 360 square feet of
living space. It was designed and built with fulltiming in mind, so it
is more rugged and better insulated than almost any other brand
on the market. The two recliners and the desk were the major
reasons for our move, as those features make life infinitely more
comfortable. It holds 70 gallons of fresh water, 78 gallons of grey
water and 50 gallons of black water, has a dry weight of 10,666
and GVWR of 13,995 (which we reached with the cabinets only 1/3
full). There is a 15,000 BTU air conditioner, 40,000 BTU furnace,
8' Dometic fridge, four Trojan T-105 6 volt batteries, four Kyocera
and Mitsubishi solar panels with 490 watts total power, an Outback
MX60 charge controller, and an Exeltech 1100 watt true sine wave
inverter.
We swapped the position of the sofa and
recliners, and put one of the four chairs at
the desk and the other in storage so there
are just two chairs at the dinette table. Our
truck works a lot harder pulling this trailer
than it did the Lynx, however we still can
get up and down mountains without fuss.
We get 8.5-10.5 mpg while towing.
