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.

In general, it is not recommended to exceed the maximum weight that your truck is capable of towing. A heavier weight will put too much strain on the engine. If your truck is not made for heavy-duty towing, you may have to look carefully for a lighter model of camper, or perhaps a smaller model that is not as heavy as the larger ones. Alternatively, consider trading in your truck for a stronger model.

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 model of this age should be possible to buy at a good price, and it should still be in good condition. It is best to inspect a trailer thoroughly before making the purchase. Take a look at the inside and the outside of the trailer, taking note of damages and rust. Any trailer that seems to be damaged quite extensively should be avoided.

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 even be much larger than what they appear. Some have slideout features that increase the size of their rooms. This type of camper should also be considered because it can be detached from the towing vehicle. The vehicle can then be used on its own for further traveling purposes.
