Fifth wheels are split-level RVs that must be towed by a pickup truck with a special hitch. With tall ceilings and wide interiors, these RVs are spacious and filled with all the amenities of home. They perfect for seasonal sites, full-timing, long road trips and weekend camping trips.

We are profiling three great models to help you start your search for your next RV. Make sure to check our full inventory to find the perfect vehicle for you.

Palomino Columbus

Classic fifth wheel with over a dozen floorplan options

The Palomino Columbus is a classic fifth wheel for camping, road tripping, exploring and enjoying the outdoors. The line includes over a dozen floorplans, so shoppers can easily find the perfect layout for their RV lifestyle. It boasts a 101” wide chassis with 6’ 6” tall slide-outs. The aluminum frame with laminated sidewalls provides a sturdy exterior to withstand the effects of weather and travel.

The Columbus features standard La-Z-Boy furniture, including theatre seats and a tri-fold or hide-a-bed sofa depending on the model. It also includes a full-sized fridge, 48” LED TV, an outdoor shower and mirrored sliding glass doors for the bedroom closest. Its large, tinted windows allow for stunning views while maintaining privacy at the campground.

Coachmen Chaparral

Superior towability for adventure seekers

The Coachmen Chaparral is designed for adventure seekers needing a comfy home to bring on their journeys. Its sturdy, but light-weight construction and aerodynamic front cap make it easy to tow on long trips, and it features a 90-degree turning radius for easy maneuverability.  The Chaparral also offers expansive storage space, so owners can bring all the tools and toys they’ll need.

Owners can customize their experience with 10 different floorplan options.  The wide interior includes ample kitchen space with a full fridge, and a variety of living room choices for lounging at the end of a long day. The bedroom features a standard Queen-sized bed (or optional King), and the bathroom includes a shower, toilet and sink.

Deluxe home-on-wheels for full-timers or seasonal campers

It is a spacious home-on-wheels with an open 101” wide-body chassis and 6’8” tall slide-outs.

Shoppers can choose from 10 different floorplans that range from 34’ 11” to 42’ 6” in length. The interior is outfitted with residential-sized appliances and furnishings, including a full-sized fridge, theatre seating and tri-fold sofas.
