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 fifth-wheel models are the hot setup for anyone seeking maximum living space - the RV of choice for full-time living. Most fifth wheels 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.
The fifth-wheel trailers are designed to be affixed and towed by a pickup truck equipped with a special hitch in the truck bed. These two-level units provide great living quarters, equipped with all the comforts of home
Features of the fifth-wheel travel trailer include unique bi-level design that raises the master bedroom or living room over the truck bed and a large window at the rear for panoramic views, detachable from tow vehicle, allowing complete freedom on arrival at your destination to use your truck for shopping or sightseeing trips.
All the conveniences of home are built into a fifth-wheel for sleeping, showering, dining, cooking and entertainment. Many fifth-wheels manufacturers also offer true luxury models, that are very spacious and elegantly furnished.
