An RV For every Occassion

frequently asked questions

What is a fifth wheel?

A fifth wheel rental is an excellent choice for those looking for a spacious and comfortable mobile accommodation option. A fifth wheel has a unique overhang on the front end of the trailer which requires a heavy-duty pickup truck with a special fifth wheel hitch. This vehicle provides more stability when towing and offers the flexibility to detach and explore their destination independently of their accommodation.

What are the costs associated with a fifth wheel rental?

The cost of fifth wheel rentals can vary greatly depending on the size, model, and rental location. Typically, they range from $100-$300/night. Besides the rental fee, you should also consider the cost of fuel, campground fees, insurance, and any additional equipment you may need.

How many people can a fifth wheel trailer accommodate?

The number of people a fifth wheel rental can accommodate depends on its size and layout. Smaller models may only have space for 4-6 people, while larger models can sleep 8-10 people comfortably.

What amenities does a fifth wheel have?

Fifth wheel rentals typically include a kitchen, bathroom, and sleeping quarters. Larger models may also offer additional amenities like a separate living area, more storage space, and upgraded appliances.

Can I tow a fifth wheel with my vehicle?

Whether you can tow a fifth wheel rental with your vehicle depends on your vehicle’s tow rating and the presence of a fifth wheel hitch. You should check with the RV owner about the weight of the trailer and the type of hitch needed. Then check your truck’s manual to see how much weight it can tow.

Pros and Cons of a Fifth Wheel Rental

Pros

  •

  • Stability: Thanks to the fifth wheel hitch, these trailers are more stable during towing, offering a smoother ride.
  • Luxury: Many fifth wheel rentals come with luxurious amenities such as larger bathrooms, upgraded appliances, and separate living areas.
  • Detachability: Like travel trailers, you can detach the fifth wheel trailer at your destination and use your vehicle for local exploration.

Cons

  • Towing Experience: Towing a fifth wheel rental requires experience and a vehicle equipped with a fifth wheel hitch.
  • Vehicle Requirements: You need a heavy-duty pickup truck to tow these trailers, limiting the pool of potential renters.
