Fifth Wheel Trailers
are generally larger than travel trailers and have extensions at their front that
extend over the tow vehicle truck bed. In most fifth wheels, the extension in front of the box area of the trailer serves as a bedroom resulting in a two-level floorplan. This design provides more space for the living area of the RV.
Fifth Wheels offer a wide
range of features and living amenities such as air-conditioning, heating, propane supply, electrical systems, and water tanks (fresh, black, and grey water), washer/dryer, on-board generator, and more. They also provide a kitchen area, dining area, living area, bedroom, and bathroom. |

Fifth Wheel Trailers work best great for RVers looking for maximum living space
and easy towing at a reasonable price. They make a great choice for the full-time
RVer because of the llarge living area. |

Toy Hauler Trailers
are also referred to as “Sport Utility Trailers”
or SURVs. They give you the comforts of home with the space to haul your motorcycle(s), ATVs, or “toys”. They come with a built-in ramp for easy loading and unloading into the garage area
(usually in the back of the trailer), and are available in both travel trailers
and Fifth Wheels, whichever best fits ones towing needs and lifestyle. Toy Haulers
offer the same features and amenities found in conventional travel trailers and
fifth wheels (kitchen area, dining area, sleeping area, and bath/toilet facilities). |

Tent Campers are also referred to as
Pop-up Campers, Folding
Trailers, Fold Down Trailers, Tent Trailers
and Pop-Up Trailers. They are very lightweight and can be towed with almost any vehicle. Some will have minimal accommodations though many include full bath, kitchen areas,
dinettes, beds, heating, air conditioning, electric, waste water and fresh water
tanks, propane, and generators. Some models come with slide-outs to increase the
amount of living space available. Tent
Campers are collapsible and very easy to tow.
When camping, the canvas section of camper is extended upwards, usually with
a manual crank, and the canvas is expanded in the front and back to provide sleeping
area. |
