If you’re looking for space but don’t want an obscene amount of length, a fifth-wheel is for you. These distinctive trailers are known for high ceilings, lots of space (often with multiple slides), and are great for families, full-timers, or RVers who simply enjoy indulging in extra space and residential comfort.
Features:
- Bi-level design and maximized space
- Towable and spacious
- Home comfort and convenience
- Privacy and storage
What Makes Fifth-Wheels Unique?
Don’t be intimidated by the size, fifth-wheels are actually designed for easier, stabler towing with the hitch centering the weight of the trailer directly over the rear axle of a truck making them a favored choice by experienced RVers. And, thanks to that overhand (most often used as a bedroom, but sometimes a big living room or even kitchen), the overall length of trailer and tow vehicle may be shorter than when employing a similarly sized travel trailer.
They’re capable of being very luxurious, have some of the best options for storage inside and out, and are the go-to for residential amenities like big bathrooms and kitchens.
