Fifth Wheel Campers?
Fifth wheel trailers are a common sight on the highways and in popular camping spots all across our land. Fifth wheel trailers offer unparalleled comfort and convenience for travel and camping, while freeing up your truck for excursions. A fifth wheel is so named for a wheel-shaped plate mounted in the bed of pickup trucks used to pull the trailers. These plates match up and hitch to a similar plate located in the tongue of the fifth wheel trailer. This style of hitch adds quite a bit of stability to the ride of the trailer. The fifth wheel hitch should not be confused with the other bed mounted ball hitch known as a gooseneck hitch. The recommended pickup trucks used to pull fifth wheel trailers are normally _ ton or heavier axle. Trucks with _ ton and heavier axles are normally using heavier springs and suspensions than are the _ ton trucks. The axles used in the larger trucks are generally full floating axles, which incur a lot less stress under weight than do the semi-floating axles used in half ton and light _ ton trucks. The larger the fifth wheel trailer, the more tongue weight the pickup must carry. Occasionally you will see a smaller fifth wheel trailer with only one axle. Fifth wheel trailers with two axles are the most common, but triple axle trailers are becoming more common. The axles used on a fifth wheel trailer are a good indication of how much trailer weight your truck will need to haul. It's not uncommon for a fifth wheel trailer to have over a thousand pounds of tongue weight bearing down on your truck's rear axle. The number of wheel lugs on any given trailer axle are a good indication of how heavy the axles are, and how heavy the trailer is. There should be a small rectangular plate located on the side of the trailer telling you just how heavy the trailer is. There is a dry weight of the trailer and also maximum weight the trailer's axles can handle. Remember, you're not just going to be towing the trailer, but you're going to be hauling the trailer and its contents. The contents of the trailer will include such weighty items as the fresh water tanks, septic tanks, fuel storage and so on.
