سڀني آر ويرز جو مڪمل وقت جي آر وينگ لاءِ بهترين قسم جي آر وي بابت پنهنجون رايا آهن. هڪ ٽوئبل مالڪ جي حيثيت سان، مون دريافت ڪيو آهي ته پنجين ڦيٿي ۾ مڪمل وقت جي آر وينگ جا پنهنجا فائدا ۽ نقصان آهن. پر چوڏهن سالن جي سفر، رهڻ ۽ پنجين ڦيٿي ۾ ڪم ڪرڻ کان پوءِ، مان اڃا تائين هن آر وي قسم سان پيار ۾ آهيان. هتي ڇو آهي.
As you’ll see below, I have a hard time coming up with the cons of full-time RVing in a پنجون ڦيٿي. But when it comes to the pros, my list is long. After owning two fifth wheels by the same manufacturer, here’s what I love the most about full-time RVing in a fifth wheel.
صرف هڪ گاڏي جي انجن کي برقرار رکڻ سان، پنجين ڦيٿي ۾ مڪمل وقت جي آر وينگ جي قيمت موٽرائيزڊ آر ويز کان گهٽ آهي. اسان جي ڊاج ريم 2500 جي ملڪيت جي قيمت جيڪا اسان جي آرڪٽڪ فاڪس پنجين ڦيٿي کي ڇڪي ٿي، NADA گائيڊز جي مطابق آهي ۽ ٽريلر کان تمام گهڻي آهي. maintenance costs. But those costs still can’t compare to the much higher expense of full-time RVing in a motorhome and tow vehicle. Our fifth wheel trailer insurance and registration also costs less than a motorized RV policy.
When you live on the road, a vehicle repair can upend your plans and generate unwanted stress. But on those rare occasions when our Dodge RAM needs to visit a diesel repair shop, we are grateful that our home can stay put. Sure, there’s the hassle of getting to and from the shop without a second vehicle, but we always find a way to make it happen. From shop courtesy vehicles to ride shares to our bicycles, getting around hasn’t been a huge full-time RVing hassle.
Take away the driving cockpit and steering wheel of a motorized RV and you’ve got the closest thing to living in a sticks-and-bricks house. Step inside and you’ll see very little features reminiscent of a rolling home. I feel that the increased interior living space in fifth wheel interiors leaves more room for features like kitchen islands, propane fireplaces, and larger bedrooms.
As a bonus during summer, fifth wheel occupants aren’t subjected to the hot greenhouse effect created by motorhome windshields. And while my fifth wheel doesn’t have a ton of basement storage space, the largest models also have basements that rival compartments found in large motorhomes.
Honestly, I can’t think of too many obvious downsides of living in a fifth wheel trailer. I had to dig deep to find things I don’t like about a towable home, such as:
A handful of ultralight fifth wheel trailers can be towed by a capable half-ton truck, but the majority of fifth wheel models need heavy duty trucks weighing ¾ ton or more to safely pull them. Unfortunately, whether you buy a new or used Dodge, Chevy, or Ford, heavy duty trucks are the most expensive on the market.
پنجين ڦيٿي واري ٽرڪ جي گهرجن جي نتيجي ۾، ڪڪڙ ۽ انڊي وارو منظرنامو اڪثر تڏهن ٿيندو آهي جڏهن ماڻهو پنجين ڦيٿي وارو ٽريلر خريد ڪرڻ چاهيندا آهن. ڇا توهان پهريان ٽرڪ خريد ڪندا آهيو؟ يا پنجين ڦيٿي؟ ڇا توهان ٻئي برداشت ڪري سگهو ٿا؟ اسان جي صورت ۾، اسان پهريان پنهنجو استعمال ٿيل ڊاج ريم 2500 خريد ڪيو، پوءِ هڪ پنجون ڦيٿو مليو جيڪو اهو مجموعي گاڏي جي وزن جي تناسب (GVWR) کان وڌيڪ ڪرڻ کان سواءِ ڇڪي سگهي ٿو. اسان کي اسان جي ٽرڪ پسند آهي، پر هن سائيز کي خريد ڪرڻ جو نقصان اهو آهي ته هاڻي اسان پنهنجي ٽرڪ کي اپ گريڊ ڪرڻ کان سواءِ هڪ وڏو، ڳرو پنجون ڦيٿي وارو ٽريلر خريد نٿا ڪري سگهون.
On rare occasions I get motorhome envy. It usually occurs when hanging out inside a friend’s motorhome. As people walk around inside, I immediately notice that the motorhome doesn’t feel bouncy when occupants are moving around. Aside from the heaviest, largest fifth wheel trailers I’ve been inside, the lack of four wheels on the ground makes fifth wheels more prone to shaking and rocking from occupants and threatening high winds.
I’ll be honest. We didn’t even consider the depreciation factor when we purchased our first or second trailer. It was enough for us to go with hearsay that Northwood Manufacturing towables hold their resale value better than most. Only this year when researching سڀ کان وڌيڪ حيرت انگيز آر وي قيمتون هن اشاعت لاءِ، ڇا مون اهو دريافت ڪيو ته پنجين ڦيٿين ۾ سڀني آر ويز جي تيز ترين گهٽتائي جي شرح آهي!
If you are just testing the waters of full-time RVing, there may come a time when you’re ready to sell your RV. Whether your ideal full-time RVing vehicle is a fifth wheel, bumper-pull trailer, motorhome or van, putting some thought into your future RV’s resale value is a smart move before you buy.
Through the years, many people have asked me “What is the best RV for full-time RVing?” After all this time, I still don’t have an answer. But what I can tell them is this: full-time RVing in a fifth wheel pros and cons are many.
تڏهن به، پنجون ڦيٿو اڃا تائين بهترين آر وي آهي منهنجو مڪمل وقت جي آر وينگ طرز زندگي. باقي هر ڪنهن کي پاڻ ئي جواب ڳولڻ جي ضرورت آهي. ڳولڻ جو واحد طريقو اهو آهي ته ايمان جي هڪ ٽپو وٺو ۽ بس اهو ڪريو!
