Everyone has preconceived ideas about everything and this is especially true of fifth wheel trailers. Are you letting rumors, faulty images, and bad feelings stop you from finding out the truth? Keep reading to find out if you have fallen victim to some common misconceptions.

 

Misconception #1: A Trailer is a Trailer
While this has some semblance of truth to it, a fifth wheel is so far away from other trailers, they are hard to recognize. The spacious interior of these make them more comfortable than any other trailer. In fact, the roomy interior allows one person to enjoy watching TV while another person jams to his or her own radio or iPod.

 

Misconception #2: Bigger Means Harder to Drive
Yes, 5th wheels are generally around 32 feet and that does make them bigger than other trailers. However, once you start pulling it, you will find that it is smooth sailing. Turning corners is no problem since the gooseneck or fifth wheel hitch attaches to the bed of the truck. Not only does this make it easier control around corners, it makes it easier when backing in blind.

 

Misconception #3: You Can't Get Comfort in a Trailer
How this rumor got started is beyond me. The fifth wheel trailer has comfort built into every aspect. It has a full kitchen where you can cook to your heart's content. It has an entertainment center where video games, DVDs, and cable television can be watched with ease. The hot shower can melt away any tension and leave you alert and ready to take on the day. Best of all, the layout of each section is clearly designed yet open for maximum living space.

 

Fifth wheel trailers really are the ideal trailer. These trailers are made from traveler's dreams. Everything they could picture in an RV has made it to this model making it the most comfortable of all the towable motorhomes.
