Finding The Best 5Th Wheel Trailers For Sale

By Jayne Rutledge


People mainly use campers for holidays away from home, but some even use them to live in for long periods of time. Whatever your reason for looking for 5th wheel trailers for sale, you will surely find plenty of options. They come in several different sizes, and are usually adorned with many features that make camping more pleasant. Just remember that you will need an adequately strong truck to pull them.

The most common sizes of campers bought by travelers are the ones of thirty-two, thirty-four and thirty-six feet in length. However, there are those that are smaller, about twenty-two feet in length, and those that are larger, up to forty feet long. The prices of campers will vary considerably depending on their size and amenities, and their condition if you are considering second-hand models.

Since that a five-wheel trailer is not purchased with an attached truck, you will need to make sure you have a strong enough vehicle to tow it. A trailer is heavy and therefore needs a heavy-duty truck to pull it. The gooseneck hitch of the trailer must also be accommodated by your towing vehicle. If your vehicle has good power it will be sufficient, and most people find a gooseneck-type hitch easy to manage whilst driving.

If your truck is too small, its engine could be damaged from over exertion. For this reason, ensure that your truck is specified as capable of pulling the weight of the camper you purchase. You may need to find a camper that has a weight specific to the towing capabilities of your truck, or buy a truck that can tow heavier campers.

You will find that new campers are pricy, especially ones of this variety. It may be better to look for a used camper if you are on a tighter budget. This way you can get a larger camper for less money. You can search the newspapers for ads, go to online advertising sites or visit used vehicle dealers. Don't buy something that is too old, as it may need too many repairs to keep it running. An age of three or four years is best.

A thorough inspection of any used camper is necessary before purchase. The interior and exterior should be well maintained, and it should be free of rust. Rather do not buy a damaged trailer, regardless of its price, as it may cost you even more in future to restore its condition.

Campers come with many wonderful features. Most are equipped with queen or king-sized beds, full-size appliances, showers, slideout kitchen pantries, toilets, sound systems, LCD TVs, cabinets, computer work stations and much more. There are plenty of storage spaces as well. All the features of the camper should be checked to see if they are in working condition.

5th wheel trailers for sale can offer additional space with optional floor plans. Slideouts can be available for the living room, dining room and master bedroom areas. The advantage of this kind of camper is that it can be unhitched, freeing up the truck for exploring the surrounding vacation area.
