New 2026 Shasta Phoenix Lite 235RK — New Braunfels, TX

Listed at $28,534, this new 2026 Shasta Phoenix Lite 235RK is a fifth wheel on the Rear Kitchen floor plan. Dry weight is 7,009 lb, well under the 12,195 lb median for the category. At 27 ft it is noticeably shorter than the typical fifth wheel (39 ft).

Expect roughly 8,250 lb once it is loaded for a trip. That calls for a three-quarter-ton pickup, with 15–25% of that through the kingpin landing on the tow vehicle — a half-ton will be over its payload once passengers and hitch weight are counted.

Sleeping capacity is 2, which is on the compact side for the category. A single slide-out opens up the main living area when you are parked. GVWR is 8,900 lb, leaving about 1,891 lb for water, propane, gear and passengers before you reach the limit.

That is a 53% reduction on the $60,910 MSRP — $32,376 off. It also sits well below the $48,653 median for fifth wheels in our inventory. We have flagged it as a great deal against comparable listings.

Fitted equipment includes roadside assistance, 4-pt auto leveling, heat pump on 2nd a/c and solar panel w/battery charge controller. It ships from New Braunfels, TX door-to-door to any of the 50 states, inspected before it leaves, at one transparent price with no dealer fees.
