Fifth-wheel RVs are a type of towable camper that is typically larger and offers more living space than traditional travel trailers. These RVs are designed to be towed by a pickup truck with a specialized hitch called a fifth-wheel hitch. The hitch is mounted in the bed of the truck, allowing for better stability and maneuverability compared to other types of towable RVs. At Wilkins RV we carry America’s most popular makes and models. From manufacturers like: Coachmen RV, Forest River RV, Grand Design, Jayco RV, and Keystone RV.
Before purchasing a fifth-wheel RV, it’s important to consider factors such as the towing capacity of your truck, the floorplan layout and features you desire, and your budget. Additionally, be sure to follow proper safety guidelines and ensure that your towing vehicle is equipped with the appropriate hitch and towing capacity for the specific fifth wheel you choose.

Here are some key features and characteristics of fifth-wheel RV campers:
Size and Layout: Fifth wheels are often larger and more spacious than other types of RVs, thanks to their unique design. They typically have a raised forward section that extends over the bed of the towing vehicle, providing additional living space, often in the form of a master bedroom or additional storage.
Amenities: Fifth wheels can come equipped with a variety of amenities, including full kitchens, bathrooms, bedrooms, and entertainment systems. Some high-end models may even include features such as washer/dryer units, fireplaces, and more.
Stability: The design of the fifth-wheel hitch contributes to increased stability while towing. This setup distributes the weight more evenly between the tow vehicle and the trailer, making it more stable and easier to maneuver compared to traditional travel trailers.
Ease of Towing: Despite their larger size, many people find fifth-wheel RVs easier to tow than other types of trailers. The hitch design allows for tighter turns and better overall control, especially in reverse.
Bi-Level Design: The elevated front section of a fifth wheel allows for a two-level floor plan. This often results in a bedroom or additional living space over the truck bed, giving occupants a sense of separation between living and sleeping areas.
