2008 NuWa reviews

We have owned this 2008 Hitchhiker LS II fifth wheel since July 2009. We purchased it new. It is very comfortable for a couple, but enjoyable also with company. It sleeps 4 comfortably. The floorplan was made so you can enjoy the TV from the two recliners, sofa and also the kitchen. Some RVs have the TV where you have to turn your head to watch it. The kitchen has very ample cabinets and drawers (including a pots and pans drawer) and also a pantry with 2 slide-out shelves. There are several over-head cabinets in the living room/dining area. We enjoyed having a separate bathroom instead of having the sink/shower in the bedroom and toilet in a "closet"! It is set up to install a washer/dryer in the bathroom, also. Nice-sized shower with a bench seat. The bedroom has big closets and 4 nice-sized drawers along with overhead cabinets over the dresser and bed. We were able to take plenty of clothes for summer/winter wear. The trailer pulls nicely - never any problem even in strong winds. The front support legs are very sturdy and there are support levelers on the rear as well. The A/C works well - never had anytime where it wouldn't keep us cool and the furnace works well, too. The fireplace has a heater which helps take the coolness off in the evening and morning. There is a TV hookup in the bedroom and also in the storage area below the trailer for an outdoor TV. It has been a great trailer for the two of us and we are going to miss having it to travel in. We have come to the place in our lives where we want to stay in one place in the winter and another in the summer, so we don't feel we would use it often enough to warrant keeping it. NuWa made a top-quality product in the Hitchhiker line. It's too bad that the RV market went soft around 2007/2008 and that NuWa stopped manufacturing Hitchhiker. We still have had access to all parts and service (and advice) from their operation in Chanute, KS even though they no longer make Hitchhiker. We have been very happy campers for the past 10 years.

This is our 3rd RV and we have thoroughly enjoyed it! We have replaced the refrigerator, tires, refurbished the water heater and plumbing fixtures. We have used this RV for 7 years and logged about 20,000 miles. Interior has held up well with minor maintenance. Exterior is in good condition with no damage. We are selling the RV due to health reasons. Show less

Very well built 5th wheel with many luxury amenities. The build quality is excellent, especially compared to most "high end" units. It is too bad the company went out of business, but if you can find a used one, you may be better off than new! Show less

We purchased our 2008 HitchHiker used in 2016 for full time travel. The structural integrity is still solid, and all the original appliances are working well. The solid construction holds up to abuse without showing wear. NuWa support has been exceptional! I only would have preferred a lighter trim because the Champagne is heavy. I highly recommend a HitchHiker, and I would buy another new or used. Show less
