The fifth-wheel travel trailer can have the same amenities as the conventional travel trailer, but is constructed with a raised forward section that provides a spacious bi-level floor plan. These models are designed to be towed by a pickup truck equipped with a device known as a fifth–wheel hitch.
Features:
- Often has a large picture window at the rear for panoramic views.
- Detachable from tow vehicle, allowing separate use of the vehicle.
- All the conveniences of home, including sleeping, showering, dining, cooking, entertainment and storage. Many manufacturers also offer luxury models that are very spacious and elegantly furnished.
- As many as four slide-outs in some models, which move the RV wall outward up to three feet at the touch of a button to create larger living areas.
- It is important to match the loaded weight of the RV to the towing capacity of the tow vehicle. Consult your dealer or owners manual for details and have the tow hitch professionally installed.
- Lightweight models have been designed specifically to allow the use of smaller trucks with less towing capacity.
- In several states, additional non-commercial driver’s licensing may be required for fifth-wheel travel trailers that exceed certain weight thresholds. Check with your local department of motor vehicles for specifics.
