Advantages of a Fifth-Wheel Camper
Ultimately the reasons for switching to a fifth wheel from a travel trailer are often a matter of lifestyle and preference, here is a short list of advantages with a fifth wheel camper.
-
No wasted length with a trailer tongue. Because fifth wheels essentially provide living space from nose to bumper, you don’t have to add 4’ of additional trailer length that is not utilized as living space.
-
Larger master bedrooms. Many fifth wheels take advantage of the spacious front section to provide a bedroom that often features a king-sized bed. This is a better option if you plan to live in your RV for longer periods of time.
-
Many more options. Due to the higher GVWR ratings and additional internal space, you will find a lot of convenience options that are simply not offered on many travel trailers.
- Most people would list no sway and more stable towing experience as reason #1 for switching to a 5th wheel, but of course Hensley Arrow owners NEVER experience trailer sway so that is not a reason to go fifth wheel if you are using a Hensley Arrow to pull your travel trailer.
