Fifth wheel RVs are very large towables that offer a lot of extra space because of their higher interior ceilings and split-level designs. Fifth Wheels are great for large families or couples who like to camp longer than an extended weekend. These RVs are truly a home away from home with residential size refrigerators, full cook top stoves, island counter tops and spacious living areas.
The pros of fifth wheels are that these towables tend to be more stable while on the road because the tow hookup is centered between the axles on the truck.
