Why Choose a Fifth Wheel?
Fifth wheels are a type of towable RV that offer many benefits to all types of travelers. As long as you have a vehicle with an open bed, you'll be able to take this rig on many adventures. You'll love how spacious these RVs are, how easy they are to tow, and the many other benefits of a fifth wheel. We've rounded up our favorite perks of fifth wheels below.
Enjoy More Space
Fifth wheels tend to be the biggest types of towable RVs on the market. Their strong coupling system allows them to be heavier and longer than other options, giving you plenty of interior space to spread out and relax. This extra space makes your time on the road better in a range of ways.
Your traveling companions won't need to worry about feeling cramped or tripping over each other. This large amount of space is especially beneficial for larger families and those who hope to spend a decent amount of time inside the rig.
You'll also get an impressive amount of interior height. This helps the rig feel even more spacious. Plus, it'll be much appreciated by taller travelers who want to avoid ducking each time they enter or leave a room.
With all this room inside, you'll also get a large amount of storage space. Bring along everything you need for a comfortable vacation without worrying about running out of room. Take your family's favorite board games, extra clothes to adapt to temperature changes, and more. You won't need to pack the bare-bones basics (unless that's your travel style).
Enjoy Easy Towing
You might glance at the size of a fifth wheel and feel nervous about transporting it on the road. But rest assured that towing one is easier than it looks. While a fifth wheel is long, the overlap with the hitch in your tow vehicle's bed helps shorten the length by a few feet. Plus, the hitch placement makes hitching your fifth wheel to your truck a breeze. It won't take long before you are a towing pro.
Remember as well that you'll be driving your truck, not a motorized RV. You already are familiar with the controls, steering wheel, and other features of your truck. Sure, the weight of your fifth wheel will affect how your truck turns and the length of time it needs to come to a stop. But the learning process will be easier driving your truck than driving a new motorized rig.
