Is a Fifth Wheel Right For You?
If you’re trying to find a recreational vehicle that’s roomy enough for big family trips or full-time living, then you may want to investigate the world of fifth wheels. These towable RVs are among the biggest and most luxurious trailers you’ll find on the market, but are they the right choice for you?

More Space
Fifth wheels are big; there’s no getting around that. However, that space is well-appointed and made to be of a higher quality than other types of RVs you might find. Higher ceiling clearances, more spacious living rooms, extra storage compartments and residential-style kitchen appliances are just a few of the many amenities you may find on a fifth wheel! Sleeping arrangements are often in the double-digits which is why this model is sought-after by families.
Easier To Tow
The way a fifth wheel is hitched up to its towing vehicle is inherently more stable than other types of trailer hitches. An anchor is installed into a truck bed and the fifth wheel hitch comes down from up above to lock into the anchor. This allows for more stability and less trailer sway than you’d find with a typical bumper-pull hitch. The fifth wheel hitch is also much stronger, which means that your fifth wheel can be larger and heavier than other types of trailers. Once you’ve done this hitching a few times, you’ll be a master and can even do it by yourself.
The one caveat here is that you’re limited in the type of towing vehicle you’ll need. A truck bed with sufficient space to install the anchor is needed. Your truck must also be very powerful in order to handle the higher weight of the fifth wheel behind it. So if you don’t already have such a truck and aren’t ready to buy one, a fifth wheel might not be the right option for you. But if you’ve already got the truck, then it’s very likely that its manufacturer has a specially designed fifth wheel coupling that you can have installed!
