Fifth Wheel Buying Guide

Shopping for a new fifth wheel can be a difficult process, especially for first-time buyers. If you don’t know exactly what you’re looking for, it’s easy to get bogged down or overwhelmed by choice. Thankfully, we’ve written up some helpful shopping tips for all of you first-time fifth wheel buyers. To figure out which of the many fifth wheel models on the lot is right for you, just check out our guide below.

Tow Vehicle 

Before you choose your new fifth wheel off the lot, you’ll first need to see how much weight your tow vehicle can handle. To see if your car has what it takes to tow a hefty fifth wheel, check your owner’s manual for the vehicle’s gross weight capacity. Any fifth wheel over or around this maximum weight limit is going to be too much for your car, and you’ll want to shop for a smaller model. 

Price

Fifth wheels are often considered more luxurious RVs thanks to their impressive size and array of helpful amenities. As a result, these RVs can be quite pricey, and you’ll need to have a firm budget set before you step foot on the dealership lot. If you’re having trouble finding a fifth wheel that meets your budget, we suggest taking advantage of available financing services or browsing your dealership’s used models for sale. If you do decide to finance your model, be sure to also have a budget set for your monthly payments to avoid going into too much debt.
