The large size and unique hitch design of fifth wheels leads to many unexpected benefits. Below, we cover some of our favorite fifth wheel perks.
Enjoy Easy Transportation
Fifth wheels are towed by your truck, which you are already used to driving. Sure, it’ll take a bit of practice to get used to a different turn radius and altered stopping distance because of the extra weight of your rig. But many owners find this much easier to learn than figuring out how to operate an RV drivetrain. Enjoy an easier learning curve transporting a fifth wheel compared to driving a motorhome.
Use Your Truck or SUV as Your Regular Vehicle
If you plan to do a lot of running around when you reach your destination, having your primary vehicle with you is a must. With a motorized RV, you have to tow the additional vehicle behind you. The advantage of having a fifth wheel is that you can leave it secured at the campsite while you take your truck or SUV to run errands or go on a day-long adventure without the bulk of an RV behind you.
Low Maintenance
The drivetrain tends to be the most maintenance-heavy part of any vehicle so when you eliminate it, you save yourself a ton of time, money, and effort. You’ll be able to easily manage a majority of the maintenance for your fifth wheel at home. When the time comes to visit your local mechanic, they should be able to assist with any labor-intensive repairs you might need. Ready to explore fifth wheels for sale?
