The Top 5 Most Popular Fifth Wheel RVs Among Shoppers in 2022

by admin

When you’re heading out on the open road, having many of the amenities of home with you can make your trip even more enjoyable. Fifth wheel trailers are like an elegant home on wheels. Large and luxurious, these roomy RVs range in length from 25 to 45 feet, making them the biggest of the towable trailers. They offer more storage space and stability than their bumper-pull cousins because the weight rests over the rear axle of the towing truck rather than at the back of the vehicle. When you get to your destination, you can simply unhitch at your campsite and use your tow vehicle to sightsee.

To help you learn more about these trailers before you start browsing fifth wheel RVs for sale near you, RVT took a look at which makes and models of fifth wheel trailers generated the most buyer inquiries on our marketplace. To help your search for the perfect RV, we’re breaking down what a fifth wheel camper is, and the most popular 5 fifth wheels among our shoppers.

What is a Fifth Wheel? 

A fifth wheel (also called a “fiver”) is a camping trailer that connects to a truck via a u-shaped “fifth wheel” hitch mounted in the center of the truck bed. These large units are easily distinguished from conventional travel trailers by their prominent overhang above the truck bed. Traditionally, this area contains a bedroom, although some floorplans now offer a different function such as a living area or office. Fifth wheels offer many of the accouterments of motorhomes, such as multiple slideouts, kitchen islands, fireplaces, residential refrigerators, washer/dryer units, and more. There are plenty of floorplan options available, from family-friendly bunkhouses to work-from-the-road office space.
