What
are the main benefits of the Fifth Wheeler?
With 25% of it’s weight at the pin, the Fifth Wheeler is safer to tow.
You also get the luxury and space of a motor home and the flexibility
of a caravan all in one. More than that, it towes and is manouvered
far better than a caravan.

How
wide is the Fifth Wheeler?
American Fifth Wheelers are 8ft wide and each slide adds between
2-4 feet. |

|
Will
American made Fifth Wheelers handle the Australian conditions?
American Fifth Wheelers are made just as well as Australian vans
but with far more extras. So if you treat them just as you would
an Australian caravan or fifth wheeler, they will last just as
long.
