Why a Fifth Wheel is Better than Being a Third Wheel

No one wants to be a third wheel. Third wheels have a bad reputation for ruining a good time. However, fifth wheels offer a good time for everyone with plenty of space for three, four or even eight people. One of the benefits of fifth wheels is they hitch to your truck, can be left behind when you don’t need them and taken with you for extra space.
You can practically jump up and down inside a fifth wheel as their ceilings stretch up so high. Pets can stretch out when the slide-outs are opened adding up to an additional fifteen feet of width to the fifth wheel. If you love cherry wood cabinets, or brass handles, they can be yours as part of the custom features of a fifth wheel.
While ceiling height helps, the 21-40 feet of length is what gives the fifth wheel a reputation for luxury accommodations. Queen and king size beds help make this RV feel like home. Up to eight people fit comfortably, so pack in family and friends for a trip to the local golf tournament or travel across the border for a summer or winter get-away.
Models start at $20,000 while the most luxurious can cost over a million dollars. However, that money goes towards unique RV features like a master bedroom or living room that sits on top of the truck bed.
If some of the family likes exploring but others prefer to spend time at camp cooking and relaxing, the fifth wheel can be detached from the truck to suit everyone’s needs. Take the truck out for an afternoon excursion while the night owls catch a nap.
A few other key features of the fifth wheel are the shower, living room and bedrooms, making this a four star accommodation on wheels. Add to that a state-of-the art sound and entertainment system and friends will be knocking on your door to take the next trip with you.
For those who don’t own a monster truck, lightweight models make it easy to attach to half ton trucks. New lightweight models have all the same amenities as more traditional models.
Fifth wheels are for those who like a little class on the road. A fifth wheel is more than a vehicle for getting from point A to point B, fifth wheels are a home on wheels. In fact, they are a lot more luxurious than a one room apartment in New York City. Visit all the places on your top twenty travel list and do it in style with a fifth wheel.
