Fifth-Wheel Trailer
Price Range: $12,495 to $101,550
Length Range: 21 to 40 feet
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.
