Fifth Wheel Trailers – Spacious, Stable, and Feature-Packed

Fifth wheel trailers are the kings of towable RVs, offering expansive living space, excellent stability on the road, and luxury features you’d expect in a high-end home. With layouts ranging from family-friendly bunkhouses to rear-living designs.

What is a Fifth Wheel Trailer?

Fifth wheel trailers are towable RV’s that are designed with a raised forward section that hitches into the bed of a pickup truck using a special fifth wheel hitch. This design provides improved stability and maneuverability compared to travel trailers.
Inside, fifth wheels often feature residential-style kitchens, full-size bathrooms, and large bedrooms. Many luxury models include side patios with sliding doors, outdoor entertainment centers, and even built-in grills — turning your RV into the ultimate outdoor living space.

They are popular with full-time RVers, snowbirds, and travelers who want maximum interior space while still being able to detach their tow vehicle for day trips.
