Choosing Fifth Wheel Campers - Not Such An Easy Choice, Many To Choose From

What is fifth wheel campers? It is an awesome travel trailer that is easy to tow, easy to hitch and easy to operate. You will find large slide outs (expandable rooms), great floor plans and lightweight pulling.

With 5th wheels the turning radius is more adaptive to backing the camper because of the maneuverability you have. Be careful not to jackknife the camper. It is easily done. Watch your wheels to pad space for clearance. Since this RV is taller, watch for low hanging limbs. You don't want to damage your air conditioner.

With the taller frame, you have more living square footage inside. The cabinets are taller giving more storage space. The outer storage compartments are roomier. These fifth wheel campers are easily hitched and unhitched. A single person can set it up by himself. With a more stable towing advantage, your load distribution adds to the ease of pulling this camper.

Most of the weight of the camper is at the towing hitch. This relieves the bumper. The hitch is mounted in the bed of the pickup and the travel trailer is hooked into a pivot and locked in. The hitch is bulky and heavy and will need to be removed from the pickup bed if the full bed is needed for other uses. A bumper hitch is stationary and does not need to be removed to use the bed of the truck.

The cost and size of a 5th wheel travel trailer is somewhat comparable to a bumper pull. Check with your dealer for pricing and weights of these campers. Also, make sure your truck is capable of towing a camper of this size and weight.

You will enjoy the inside lay out of the camper. You have more room due to the bed being above the hitch itself and not on the floor. It is well arranged space wise and load distribution wise. This is a great camper if you want better maneuverability, ease of towing, more space, taller floor to ceiling room, more storage area and a separate bedroom.
