Fifth
wheels are split-level RVs that must be towed by a pickup truck with a
special hitch. Typically, a fifth wheel will have a living space/bunk
area on the lower level and a private master bedroom that hangs over the
truck bed (rear-bedroom options are also available).
Fifth
wheels are great for larger families and for those who are interested
in maintaining some privacy while camping. The roomy interiors are also
perfect for hosting get-togethers with friends and family. They also
offer a smoother driving experience with less sway, so they work well
for longer trips.
Prices range from $15,000 to $120,000+.
