CHOOSING BETWEEN A FIFTH WHEEL AND TRAVEL TRAILER

Ny fahaizantsika amin'ny fifth wheels SY tranofiara fitsangatsanganana dia nampianatra antsika fa ny olona dia tia towable towable satria tsy mila fikojakojana maotera izy ireo, tsy toy ny motera. Ny fanafoanana ny vidin'ny maotera dia afaka manafaka ny teti-bola sasany ho an'ny safidy fanampiny amin'ny vondrona azo towable. Fanampin'izany, manintona ny haben'ny habeny, ny vidiny ary ny planina gorodona. Fanampin'izany, ny fahafahana manaisotra ny fiara fitateram-bahoaka ho an'ny fitsangatsanganana andro na asa dia tena mety ihany koa.

When it comes to choosing between tranofiara fitsangatsanganana vs Kodiarana faha-5, tsy dia mazava loatra ny fahasamihafana. Aza mihevitra azy io ho toy ny kodiaran'ny fahadimy ho 'tsara kokoa' na ny tranofiara dia ho 'tsara kokoa'; momba ny fit, izay karazana tranofiara mety indrindra amin'ny fomba tianao haleha. Izany dia mitondra antsika amin'ny fitsipika roa tokony harahinao foana rehefa miantsena RV.

MIFANA amin'ny laharam-pahamehanao

Ny fanapahan-kevitra amin'ny zavatra toy ny haingo anatiny sy ny safidy dia mety hidina amin'ny fandanjalanjana ny "faniriana" vs. "filàna". Ny seza vita amin'ny vinyl, ny gorodona tsy misy tasy, ny kojakoja ivelan'ny trano, na ny haingon-trano fonenana dia mety hahatonga anao hiteny hoe: "Tiako izany", fa mifantoka amin'ny zavatra izay mahatonga anao hiteny hoe: "Tena mila izany izahay."

Eritrereto ny fomba kasainao hampiasa ny vondrona misy anao sy ny fomba tianao hitoby. Tia mandany ny ankamaroan'ny fotoananao any ivelany? Angamba azonao atao ny manadino lakolosy sy sioka fanampiny ao anatin'ny RV-nao ary mitady lakozia ivelany na foibe fialamboly. Avy eo indray, raha manana vondron'olona antsy ianao izay tia safidy maro mba hahatonga ny rehetra ho sahirana amin'ny andro orana, fanampiny ao anatiny mety ho safidy tsara.

AHOANA NO HATAONAO

Raha ny fisafidianana eo amin'ny kodiaran-droa fahadimy sy ny tranofiara dia manomboka amin'ny fisintonana ny resaka. Tsy toy ny baolina nentim-paharazana sy socket hitch ampiasaina amin'ny fitsangatsanganana, kodiarana fahadimy mifandray amin'ny a hitch ao anatin'ny fandriana ny pickup. Ity faritry ny gooseneck eo anoloana ity dia manome endrika hafa amin'ny kodiaran'ny kodiaran-droa hafa. Ny kodiarana fahadimy dia manana taham-pihodinana lehibe kokoa ary misy fitoniana fanampiny rehefa misintona satria ny fifandraisana dia eo afovoan'ny axle aorian'ny kamiao ary ny ivon'ny gravity dia manakaiky kokoa ny fiara.

If you already have a tow vehicle with one hitch or the other, your decision may be clear. Otherwise, you can learn more about what it’s like to tow a kodia fahadimy vs tranofiara fitsangatsanganana and read in-depth explanations of weights, connections and everything else to look for when deciding how to tow.

Now, let’s dig into some of the other practical differences between fifth wheels and travel trailers.

LONG HAULS OR QUICK GETAWAYS

The fifth wheel is ideal for extended stays. Fifth wheels have some of the largest water, battery and waste capacities. This is thanks to the gooseneck area positioning above the hitch. This makes them require less upkeep and attention while on the road, in addition to giving extra living space. While there are exceptions, travel trailers can be quicker to set up and tear down, generally have systems and capacities and are more suited for frequent stops or shorter trips.

FLOORPLAN VARIETY

Smaller travel trailers sleep two, while larger bunkhouse models sleep up to ten comfortably. If there’s a particular layout or RV feature you’re looking for, inside or out, you can likely find it on one travel trailer or another. There are tons of weight options, varying from a few hundred pounds up to several thousand. Fifth wheels will always have their signature shape, giving them a smaller range of possible sizes and space. 

PRIVACY AND MULTIGENERATIONAL TRIPS

ny bi-level construction of a fifth wheel allows for up to three distinct living spaces. You, the grandparents and kids can each have your own space. If you’re traveling with very young kids, there’s the bonus of allowing the kids to nap in one room or play video games without disturbing them as you go about your day. More and more travel trailers are available with bunkhouses that offer a similar feel.

CONSTRUCTION OPTIONS

In the case of many travel trailers, you’ll have a choice between aluminum and fiberglass sidewalls, an option you don’t always have when it comes to fifth wheels. Both aluminum and fiberglass RVs have their pros and cons. Aluminum models are usually cheaper, making them a good choice for new RVers, and easier to fix if they get damaged. Fiberglass RVs have flat walls that are easy to clean, and they are lighter and more aerodynamic, which can make them easier to drive.

STORAGE SPACE

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.
