A Primer on Fifth Wheels
If you need a recreational vehicle that’s spacious and luxurious, look no further than the fifth wheel. Fifth wheels are unique among larger towable RVs because of their hitch style, which lends them more stability and also allows them to be roomier inside. As a result, they’re a great choice for families of all sizes.

Definition
A fifth wheel is a type of towable RV that requires you to have a sturdy towing vehicle to haul it around from place to place. Unlike other types of towables, however, a fifth wheel has a unique two-part coupling system. The anchor locks into a pickup truck bed and the hitch comes over the rear gate of the vehicle to latch into the coupling from above.
This hitch, when compared to a typical bumper-pull hitch, is significantly more stable and sturdy. The improved stability and weight-bearing capability means that fifth wheel trailers can be much longer and heavier than other types of trailers, thus improving their interiors.
Many major truck manufacturers create fifth wheel couplings specifically for their vehicles, so you shouldn’t have an issue finding one for your truck.
Features
Fifth wheels are outfitted similarly to other types of RVs, but they often come with larger and more luxurious features. The ceiling clearances are higher, which is a boon to tall campers, while the kitchens might be equipped with full-size, residential-style appliances. You’ll get lots of storage space and plenty of sleeping berths on a fifth wheel, which makes them great for long-term travel, full-time living or family vacations.
Towability
You might find the large size of a fifth wheel to be daunting at first, but know that the hitch style used by these trailers actually makes them much easier to tow around. You’ll be able to master the hitch easily, and with some practice, you’ll also find driving with a fifth wheel in tow to be less of a challenge. Trailer sway is reduced, which helps to make them safer to drive. You will just have to be mindful of corners and turns, which will need to be taken with care.
