Designed for families who want the comfort of a larger fifth wheel without stepping into a heavy duty tow vehicle, the Blackthorn 279BH offers sleeping space, storage and convenience in a manageable package.
Step inside and you'll find a spacious living area highlighted by a large slideout that houses the U shaped dinette and main seating area.
