CHOOSING BETWEEN A FIFTH WHEEL AND TRAVEL TRAILER

ʻO kā mākou akamai ma huila elima a kaʻa huakaʻi ua aʻo mai iā mākou makemake ka poʻe i nā mea hoʻomoana kaʻa no ka mea ʻaʻole pono lākou i ka mālama ʻana i ka ʻenekini, ʻaʻole like me nā ʻāpana kaʻa. ʻO ka hoʻopau ʻana i ke kumukūʻai mua o ka ʻenekini hiki ke hoʻokuʻu i kekahi kālā no nā koho hou aʻe ma kahi ʻāpana towable. Eia kekahi, ʻoluʻolu ka nui o nā ʻano nui, nā kumukūʻai, a me nā papahele papahele. Eia kekahi, ʻoi aku ka maʻalahi o ka hiki ke wehe i ke kaʻa kaʻa no nā lā huakaʻi a i ʻole nā ​​​​ʻoihana.

When it comes to choosing between kaʻa huakaʻi vs ʻO nā huila 5, ʻaʻole like ka ʻokoʻa. Mai noʻonoʻo ʻoe he ʻoi aku ka maikaʻi o nā huila ʻelima a ʻoi aku ka maikaʻi o nā kaʻa huakaʻi; ʻoi aku ia e pili ana i ke kūpono, ʻo ia ke ʻano o ka trailer e kūpono loa i kou makemake e hele. Hāʻawi ia iā mākou i kekahi mau lula e pono ai ʻoe e hahai i ke kūʻai ʻana i kahi RV.

E PALAPALA I KOU MAU KOMU

ʻO nā hoʻoholo e pili ana i nā mea e like me ka hoʻonani o loko a me nā koho e hiki ke hoʻoholo i ka "makemake" vs. ʻO ka noho ʻana o ka vinyl, ka papahele ʻeleʻele, nā lako o waho, a i ʻole nā ​​​​mea hoʻonani hale noho paha e ʻōlelo ai ʻoe, "Makemake au i kēlā," akā e noʻonoʻo mua i nā mea āu e ʻōlelo ai, "Pono mākou i kēlā."

E noʻonoʻo pehea ʻoe e hoʻolālā ai e hoʻohana i kāu ʻāpana a me kou makemake i kahi hoʻomoana. Makemake ʻoe e hoʻolilo i ka hapa nui o kou manawa ma waho? Malia paha hiki iā ʻoe ke haʻalele i nā bele a me nā puʻupuʻu i loko o kāu RV a e ʻimi nā lumi kuke waho or nā kikowaena hoʻokipa. A laila, inā loaʻa iā ʻoe kahi puʻupuʻu antsy e makemake nui i nā koho e hoʻomau i nā mea āpau i ka lā ua, nā mea ʻokoʻa ma loko ʻo ia paha ke koho kūpono.

Pehea ʻoe e huki ai

No ke koho ʻana ma waena o nā huila ʻelima a me nā huakaʻi huakaʻi, hoʻomaka ke kamaʻilio me ka huki ʻana. ʻAʻole like me ka pōpō kuʻuna a me ka hoʻopaʻa kumu hoʻohana ʻia e nā kaʻa kaʻahele, huila ʻelima e hoʻopili i a hoʻopaʻa i loko o ka moena o kahi pahu hopu. Hāʻawi kēia wahi gooseneck i mua i nā huila ʻelima i ke ʻano ʻokoʻa ma mua o nā kaʻa kaʻa ʻē aʻe. ʻO nā huila ʻelima ka radius huli nui a ʻoi aku ka paʻa i ka wā e huki ai ʻoiai ua kau ka pilina ma luna o ke axle hope o ke kaʻa a kokoke ke kikowaena o ka umekaumaha i ke kaʻa huki.

Inā loaʻa iā ʻoe kahi kaʻa kaʻa me kahi hitch a i ʻole kekahi, maopopo paha kāu hoʻoholo. A i ʻole, hiki iā ʻoe ke aʻo hou e pili ana i ke ʻano o ka huki ʻana a huila lima vs kaʻahele huakaʻi a heluhelu i nā wehewehe hohonu o nā paona, nā pilina a me nā mea ʻē aʻe e nānā ai i ka wā e hoʻoholo ai pehea e huki ai.

I kēia manawa, e ʻeli kākou i kekahi o nā ʻokoʻa ʻē aʻe ma waena o nā huila ʻelima a me nā kaʻa huakaʻi.

HOLO LOA A HELE WIWAI

He kūpono ka huila ʻelima no ka noho lōʻihi. Loaʻa i nā huila ʻelima kekahi o ka nui o ka wai, ka pākaukau a me nā mana ʻōpala. Mahalo kēia i ke kūlana gooseneck ma luna o ka hitch. ʻO kēia ka mea e pono ai lākou i ka liʻiliʻi o ka mālama ʻana a me ka nānā ʻana i ke ala, me ka hāʻawi ʻana i kahi wahi noho hou. ʻOiai aia kekahi mau ʻokoʻa, hiki i nā huakaʻi huakaʻi ke hoʻonohonoho a hoʻohiolo i ka maʻamau, maʻamau he ʻōnaehana a me nā mana a ʻoi aku ka kūpono no ka hoʻomaha pinepine a i ʻole nā ​​​​huakaʻi pōkole.

ANOAI O KA PALAPALA

E hiamoe ana nā kaʻa huakaʻi liʻiliʻi i ʻelua, ʻoiai moe nā kumu hoʻohālike bunkhouse nui a hiki i ka ʻumi me ka oluolu. Inā loaʻa kahi hoʻolālā kikoʻī a i ʻole hiʻohiʻona RV āu e ʻimi nei, i loko a i waho paha, hiki paha iā ʻoe ke loaʻa iā ia ma kahi huakaʻi huakaʻi a i ʻole kekahi. Aia nā tona o nā koho kaumaha, e ʻokoʻa ana mai kahi mau haneli paona a hiki i kekahi mau tausani. E loaʻa mau i nā huila ʻelima ko lākou ʻano hōʻailona, ​​e hāʻawi iā lākou i kahi liʻiliʻi liʻiliʻi o ka nui a me ka lewa. 

KA HUAKAI KUHIKUHI A ME NA MULITIGENERATIONAL

ʻO ka hana lua o ka huila lima hiki i ekolu mau wahi noho kaawale. Hiki iā ʻoe, nā kūpuna a me nā keiki ke loaʻa i kāu wahi ponoʻī. Inā ʻoe e huakaʻi me nā keiki ʻōpio loa, aia ka pōmaikaʻi o ka ʻae ʻana i nā keiki e hiamoe i loko o ka lumi hoʻokahi a pāʻani paha i nā pāʻani wikiō me ka hoʻopilikia ʻole iā lākou i kou hele ʻana i kou lā. Loaʻa nā kaʻa huakaʻi hou aʻe me nā bunkhouse e hāʻawi i kahi manaʻo like.

I ka hihia o nā kaʻa huakaʻi he nui, e loaʻa iā ʻoe kahi koho ma waena o ka alumini a me ka fiberglass sidewalls, kahi koho āu e loaʻa ʻole ai i ka wā e hiki mai ana i nā huila ʻelima. Loaʻa i nā RV aluminika a me fiberglass ko lākou pono a me nā pōʻino. ʻOi aku ka maʻalahi o nā kumu hoʻohālike alumini, e koho maikaʻi iā lākou no nā RVers hou, a maʻalahi hoʻi e hoʻoponopono inā pōʻino. ʻO nā RV Fiberglass he mau paia palahalaha e maʻalahi ke hoʻomaʻemaʻe, a ʻoi aku ka māmā a me ka aerodynamic, hiki ke maʻalahi iā lākou ke hoʻokele.

WAHI WAIWAI

Fifth wheels’ shape allows for more storage, inside and out. Their height and sometimes wider bodies allow you to find a great balance of living and storage space. You’ll often find more and deeper cabinetry and closets as well as large pass-through exterior storage that’s accessible from both sides of the coach. You can fit large outdoor gear for the campsite or activities in these exterior spaces. Since a travel trailer doesn’t hitch up to the bed of your truck, you always have the bed of your truck or SUV truck available for additional gear.

LIVING SPACE

If you’re tall or looking for a lot of living space, the fifth wheel’s shape naturally allows for more height inside the coach and multiple levels with stairs. Fifth wheels are also available with multiple slideout rooms (as many as five), which make for an even more open, residential experience. There’s often just a different feel when you walk inside travel trailers and fifth wheels for the first time.
