Fifth Wheels For Sale in Idaho

More About Fifth Wheels

If you want the absolute best camping experience possible, you’ll want to check out fifth wheels. These expansive and luxurious recreational vehicles are among the biggest rigs available on the marketplace, making them ideal for large families or groups of travelers. Fifth wheels come with a plethora of incredible amenities, but they do have a higher price tag to match, so you’ll want to make sure you’re choosing wisely if you opt to purchase one.

Your local fifth wheel dealer is Happy Camper RV Sales, serving Boise and Nampa, ID, so we’ve provided this quick rundown of the benefits of fifth wheels to assist you in making an informed purchasing decision.

Size

The most noteworthy attribute of a fifth wheel RV is its sheer size. These are big rigs—there’s no doubt about that! Their massive size comes courtesy of the high hauling capacity of their unique hitching system. The two-part coupling means that these vehicles can weigh more in general, so they’re often some of the biggest RVs you’ll see on the highways of America.

With all that extra size, you get a more residential-like interior, complete with one or more private bedroom suites with queen- or king-sized beds, a full bathroom, a roomy kitchen and all the storage space you need for every piece of hiking equipment or fishing gear you want to take along with you.

You also get higher ceilings, which can help make taller campers feel at ease while they travel. Fifth wheels come equipped with several bunks that are either hidden away in alcoves or modified from fold-out furniture so you’ll have room for the kids and their friends when you travel.

Towability

While you might suspect that the grand size of a fifth wheel would make it very hard to tow on the interstate, nothing could be further from the truth! In fact, the coupling system on these rigs significantly improves stability and reduces the risk of trailer sway. Because the hitch goes over the rear of your towing truck to lock into a coupling installed in the truck bed, you get a much stronger connection than a typical bumper-pull hitch can provide. The fifth wheel hitch is simple to master, allowing you to easily hitch and unhitch your vehicle at will.

However, one caveat that you’ll want to bear in mind is that not every vehicle can handle the coupling that fifth wheels use. For this, you need a pickup truck that has a bed into which you can install the coupler itself. The truck will also need to be of a size that’s sufficient to handle the weight and length of the rig itself. If you don’t already have such a vehicle, then you’ll need to factor that into your budget when considering a fifth wheel.
