Fifth Wheels for Sale

A fifth wheel is a towable RV that connects to a special hitch mounted in the bed of a pickup truck, rather than to a ball behind the bumper. That in-bed connection puts the trailer's weight over the truck's rear axle instead of hanging off the back, which is why a fifth wheel tows far more stably than a bumper-pull of the same size — less sway, more confidence at highway speed, and easier backing once you learn the pivot point.

The hitch design also frees up the front of the trailer to rise up and over the truck bed, creating that signature raised front section. Builders use it for a private master bedroom — and increasingly a bath — up a short flight of steps, with a tall, open main living area behind it. The result is the most residential floor plan in towable RVing: separate living and sleeping levels, ceilings over ten feet in the main room, and full-time-ready features like washer/dryer prep, residential refrigerators, and multiple slide-outs. It's why fifth wheels are the overwhelming choice for full-timers and snowbirds who tow.

The catch is the truck. A fifth wheel demands a properly rated pickup — typically a 3/4-ton or one-ton diesel for the bigger luxury units — plus an in-bed hitch, and it occupies your truck bed whenever it's hooked up. They also sit tall, so you watch your height at gas stations and bridges. But if you already run a capable pickup and want the most home-like space money can tow, nothing else comes close. We'll match the rig to your truck's real ratings and price the exact one you're eyeing against the market.
