The short answer is: it doesn’t have to be! When we have customers considering fifth-kolesá as their next RV choice, we’re often asked if parking them is difficult. While we will say that it takes a little bit of practice, it’s not as hard as most people think!

Jazda na piatom kolese

Jazdná časť je pravdepodobne najjednoduchšia časť zážitku z piateho kolesa. Aj keď je to trochu iné ako riadenie auta alebo vášho nákladného auta bez toho, aby bolo pripojené, riadenie piateho kolesa by malo byť pre väčšinu jednoduché. Ako preventívne opatrenie vám odporúčame zaobstarať si dlhé bočné spätné zrkadlá, ktoré uľahčia viditeľnosť.
 

Before taking off with your fifth-wheel, ensure that your unit is attached securely to a hitch in the bed of your truck and that the hitch itself is properly attached. Many units also have a secondary tie to a basic trailer hitch as a precaution. Once you’re connected, test your in-cab braking unit to ensure that everything is working properly. While each unit is different, the instructions will outline how to test that the unit is working properly. Now that your braking unit is ready to roll, so are you!
 

After you take off, you’ll notice that your truck accelerates slower than usual. This is perfectly normal, as you’re towing a heavy trailer behind you. Expect your pedal foot to get used to this and to compensate accordingly. Watch your speed and be conscious of how the vehicle’s momentum changes differently than usual. You’ll need to brake more consciously, so keep your eyes on the road and avoid sudden stops.

Zálohovanie piateho kolesa

To je miesto, kde väčšina ľudí začína pociťovať teplo. Pretože príves je pripojený k vášmu vozidlu v bode a slobodný point-of-contact, when you turn and reverse, you’ll find that the trailer angles itself. When backing up, it all comes down to simple math: it’s time to know your angles.
 

Buďte realistickí pri výbere miesta, kam sa vrátite, ako je napríklad príjazdová cesta alebo kemping. Vyberte si miesto, kam sa vozidlo určite zmestí, a miesto, ktoré vám poskytne určitú manévrovateľnosť pri cúvaní.
 

The most important thing to remember is that your trailer will go in the opposite direction of your steering wheel. Visit an open space and practice backing up, watching the trailer as you turn the wheel. This will allow you to understand and visualize where your trailer is headed while you check your mirrors and adjust the wheel in real time as you reverse. If you can, use a spotter to help guide you into place. Here’s a quick video with some visuals to help:

Zaparkujte svoj karavan s piatym kolesom

The hard part is over and the impatient part begins. Once you have your RV backed up into your desired parking spot, it’s time to attend to the finer details. Here are some things that you’ll need to complete before whipping out the burgers and brews:

• Vyrovnajte svoj karavan: každá jednotka je dodávaná s manuálnymi alebo automatickými úrovňami, aby ste nespali pod zvláštnym uhlom

• Pripojte elektrinu, ak je k dispozícii

• Pripojte vodu a kanalizáciu, ak sú k dispozícii

• Pomaly odpojte vozík a zaveste ho od prívesu

• Skontrolujte si svoje veci a priehradky, aby ste sa uistili, že sa počas vašich ciest nič neposunulo

• Roztiahnite prístrešky a zaistite funkčnosť všetkých vonkajších prvkov​

Once you’re situated, you can finally kick back, relax, and throw some burgers over the fire. We promise it’s worth the extra precaution! You’ll look just like this pro in no time:
