The Forest River Salem 24RLS is a rear-living-space fifth wheel that makes smart use of its footprint, pairing a large pedestal booth dinette and picture window with a 101-inch interior ceiling height that keeps the space from feeling cramped. The kitchen is well-equipped for a unit in this class, with a Dometic double-door refrigerator, a three-burner high-output range with oven, and a deep basin 60/40 sink anchored by a high-rise faucet. In-floor ducted heat and a 25,000 BTU forced-air furnace round out a solid cold-weather package, and the enclosed, heated fresh water tank compartment means the Salem 24RLS can handle shoulder-season trips without much fuss. Salem's build quality is inconsistent enough that a close pre-purchase inspection is well worth the effort, but buyers who do their homework tend to find the layout and value hard to match at this price point.
