Travel Trailer vs fënneften Rad: en Iwwerbléck

Wéi virdru scho gesot, béid vun dësen towable RVs hänken op déi gréisser Säit an tendéieren déi meescht vun de Luxus ze bidden, déi Dir an engem Appartement fannt. Wéi och ëmmer, e puer Schlëssel Differenzen existéieren tëscht engem Reestrailer an engem fënneften Rad dat méi passend fir Är Ufuerderung a Fäegkeeten kéint sinn. Als méi detailléiert Erklärung wäerte mir déi folgend Themen duerchgoën:

• Ästhetik

• Ofschleefdéngscht Gefier Kapazitéit

• Dimensiounen

• Layout

• Fuerbarkeet

• Präis

Halen vergiessen, datt d'Informatioun gëtt variéieren kéint baséiert op der maachen vun der Camper an der Präis Gamme Dir wielen ze Buttek an. Wéi och ëmmer, Dir wäert wahrscheinlech fäheg sinn déi meescht vun dëse Léieren op Är Kaf Decisioun ze gëllen.

Ästhetik

Before you decide which one to invest in, you want to understand what each looks like. A fifth wheel is easy to identify because of the large “tongue” that sits over the truck’s bed. Fifth wheels are generally larger and weigh much more than a traditional travel trailer.

Op der anerer Säit hunn Reestrailer eng méi rechteckeg Form a kënnen normalerweis mat engem SUV oder engem Gefier mat enger moderéierter Ofschleefkapazitéit geschleeft ginn. Si sinn och vill méi hell wéi de fënneften Rieder.

Ofschleefdéngscht Gefier Kapazitéit

A towable RV will need an additional vehicle to pull it, and the type of vehicle you have or intend to use will play a significant role in which type of camper you decide on. If you don’t already have a pickup truck or don’t intend on buying one, then a fifth wheel is out of the question for you. However, a travel trailer can be towed by most SUVs; or any vehicle with a respectable towing capacity.

If you already have a towing vehicle or intend to buy one, check its Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR) to make sure it’s capable of towing the camper you desire. It is imperative that you never exceed this towing capacity.

Dimensiounen

Both travel trailers and fifth wheels have a wide range of sizes, specifically when considering the length. Fifth wheels are generally larger and can range between 25 – 45 feet long. Besides, additional features such as extra floors and fireplaces add to the weight, which means that fifth wheels will need a more powerful towing vehicle. Fifth wheel campers are also quite a bit taller than travel trailers, which is something to keep in mind if you are planning to drive through terrain that may have low-hanging tree branches, low bridges or tunnels, and so on.

Rees Trailer starten vill méi kleng, rangéiert vun ongeféier 12 bis 35 Fouss laang. Dës méi kleng Gréisst mécht se eng vill besser Optioun fir déi, déi no engem einfachen, liichte Trailer sichen, déi se mat engem Standard SUV zéien kënnen. Si sinn och méi kuerz wéi fënneften Rieder, a si kënnen e puer vun der selwechter grousst Gefill bidden wann Dir e gréissere Modell wielt.

Layout

As fifth wheels are much larger and heavier, they usually carry more luxuries than a standard trailer. Amenities such as large living rooms and kitchens, fireplaces, and multiple bathrooms have been elevated to different floor heights, providing a more private, roomy feel. Also, a fifth wheel generally has between 3 – 5 slide-outs that can be used to expand the overall living space inside.

Op der anerer Säit konzentréieren d'Rees Trailer méi op d'Noutwendegkeete a si meeschtens limitéiert op maximal zwee Slide-outs, well se wesentlech zum Gesamtgewicht bäidroen.

Fuerbarkeet

Since you have been reading that fifth wheels are much longer, taller, and heavier than a travel trailer, you might automatically assume that they are much harder to drive, but that isn’t necessarily the case. Since the hitch of a fifth wheel sits over the rear axle of a tow vehicle, this pivot point gives the fifth wheel a larger turning radius and makes it less likely to sway while driving. However, keep in mind that a fifth wheel can be much more of a challenge to reverse than a traditional trailer.

The lightweight body and hitch point on a travel trailer make it much more prone to swaying and much harder to maneuver. You can improve this by adding aftermarket sway bars to your tow vehicle, but it wouldn’t compare with the sturdiness of a fifth wheel.

Präis

Natierlech hunn Reestrailer d'Iwwerhand an dësem Segment wéinst hirer méi klenger Gréisst an Design. Sécher, Dir kënnt souwuel Upgrade fir luxuriéis Ariichtungen ze hunn, awer Dir wäert entdecken datt Reestrailer bal ëmmer méi bëlleg sinn wéi e fënneften Rad.
