Types of RVs - Fifth wheel campers

The largest type of towable RV, fifth wheel campers, are pulled by large pick-up trucks with a special fifth wheel hitch located in the bed of the truck. Because of this hitch, they have a raised forward section where you’ll typically find a bedroom or living room. Fifth wheels are some of the most spacious RVs available thanks to their extended length and slideouts. Some floorplans have up to six slideouts! This makes them a great option for large families or those who want to camp with big groups. Many fifth wheel RVers will park their RV at a campground and detach the towing vehicle for daily travel. As with any towable RV, it’s critical that the towing vehicle is rated to handle the weight of the RV plus its contents.
