Used 2005 Forest River RV Cardinal 30TS Fifth Wheel
2005 Forest River Cardinal 30TS: Spacious Living on a Budget
If you're looking for a solid, functional fifth wheel without the steep price tag of a newer model, this 2005 Cardinal 30TS is a practical choice. This unit has seen its share of the open road and shows the character of a well-used coach, making it an ideal option for a first-time RVer, a mobile work-site office, or a stationary hunting camp.
Reliable Layout & Maximum Space
The "30TS" floorplan was built for livability, utilizing three power slide-outs to create an interior that feels much larger than its footprint suggests.
-
Open Rear Lounge: The back of the coach features a classic living area with dual chairs and a sofa, surrounded by large windows that provide a great view of your campsite.
-
Functional Kitchen: A mid-ship kitchen layout offers a three-burner range, oven, microwave, and double-door refrigerator, with plenty of cabinet space for all your cooking essentials.
-
Traditional Dinette: The free-standing table and chairs offer a comfortable spot for meals or a laptop station without the boxed-in feel of a standard booth.
Practical Features
-
Residential Bath Setup: Features a spacious walk-in shower with a glass enclosure, providing much more room than the standard tubs found in many trailers.
-
Private Sanitation: The bathroom includes a closed-door toilet, offering complete privacy and separation from the vanity and shower area.
-
Private Front Bedroom: Includes a walk-around queen bed, a mirrored closet, and a dedicated vanity area with drawers for clothing storage.
-
Massive Basement Storage: The exterior features a large pass-through storage bay, perfect for stowing away bulky gear, tools, or outdoor furniture.
Condition & Value Note
This is a "well-loved" unit. It shows signs of wear consistent with its age—including exterior fading and typical interior use—making it a perfect "blank canvas" for someone looking to DIY or simply get into the RV lifestyle at an affordable entry point.
This Cardinal 30TS is priced for an immediate sale. If you need a reliable, spacious living area that’s ready for work or play, this is the unit for you.
Anne was an excellent salesperson. She took her time to show us and help us over several months. Always gracious and considerate until we made a decision. We got a fair trade and a great deal.
Much in contrast to an unnamed out of town place where we were under intense pressure to buy the moment we stepped inside.
The rest of the staff were equally helpful. Financing was easy and straightforward. - Joe
