Fifth Wheels: The Perks of the RV's Size

When it comes to towable campers, size is a question on everyone’s mind. Designers have struggled for years with balancing the need for a towable camper to be light enough for the tow vehicle to haul with the desire to include more space for the user. Fifth wheels have an advantage in this regard because their unique hitching scheme allows them to be larger than other RVs. This extra space is an advantage in more ways than you might think, so Price Right RV has created this article to illuminate some of the hidden advantages of a fifth wheel’s larger size.

Cooking Inside the Fifth Wheel is Easier

More Space For Ingredients

Not every campground offers convenient places nearby to restock your RV. Even if there are, you may not want to spend your vacation doing grocery runs. That is where a fifth wheel’s more spacious kitchen arrangements are especially useful. Between the refrigerator, pantry, and cabinets, there is more than enough space to bring everything you need for your favorite meals, snacks, and desserts.

This is especially helpful if members of your group have dietary restrictions. Finding allergen-free food can be difficult in an unfamiliar location, but with a fifth wheel, you can bring as much of it as you need, while still leaving enough pantry space so that those without restrictions can bring whatever they want.  

It's Easy to Prepare Meals

While many choose to eat out more while on vacation, that practice can quickly become expensive, especially on longer trips. A fifth wheel’s larger kitchen gives chefs more room to maneuver, as well as offers more storage for cooking gear. Cooking in an RV has never been more attractive! 

Adapting to Weather Changes is Easier

When you go camping, you put yourself at the mercy of the weather. Unexpected temperature changes and precipitation are far from uncommon. Fifth wheel RVs offer more closet space so that you can be better prepared for changes in the weather. Whether it is waterproof clothing or extra layers, you’ll never be caught off guard again. 

Spending Time Inside the RV is More Comfortable

When designing an RV, manufacturers have to balance their desire to provide the most comfortable experience possible with the limits of space in an RV. The larger size of a fifth wheel frees up designers to include larger entertainment centers, living rooms with more sitting spaces, and wider hallways. It’s a difference in comfort that you can’t help but notice!
