Fifth Wheel
Trailers
 Fifth
wheel trailers are two-level pickup truck RVs. One level follows your
truck, the other level of the fifth wheel rests in the truck bed.
Fifth-wheel trailers
range from about 8,000 pounds to more than 18,000 pounds, plus the weight
of fluids and personal effects. In the more compact fifth-wheels, sleeping
accommodations differ from the conventional size models; the small fifth-wheel
models all provide a full-time bed in the raised forward section, which
can be a real advantage when compared to a convertible bed. Headroom varies
considerably, but most compact fifth-wheels require stooping while using
the front section. Most of these models provide adequate living accommodations
with little wasted space. All fifth-wheel trailers require a pickup truck
for towing, but owing to the relatively small size of these units, a wide
range of trucks is suitable.
The larger (26- to
40-foot) fifth-wheel models are the hot setup for anyone seeking maximum
living space -- the RV of choice for full-time living. Most include up
to three large slideouts and standing room in the front bedroom; the larger
models are available with a wide range of appliances, including built-in
washer/ dryer, dishwasher and entertainment center with surround sound.
The larger fifth-wheel units require the beefiest dual-rear-wheel pickup
trucks as the tow vehicles, or specialized conversions of medium-duty
trucks. It is important to match the size and weight of a new fifth-wheel
to the tow vehicle, or select the fifth-wheel first and then order a truck
of adequate towing capacity.
