5th Wheel Campers Upcoming Auctions

Why Choose A Fifth Wheel?

Fifth-wheel campers are towable RVs that require a tow vehicle, usually a pickup or flatbed truck, equipped with a fifth-wheel hitch that holds the kingpin on the gooseneck of the camper. Because passengers cannot ride in a towed fifth wheel like they would be able to in a motorhome, you may lose out on some passenger space during travel. You’ll also have less usable cargo space in the truck bed when your trailer is attached, but once your fifth wheel is detached and deployed, you will be able to use your truck for convenient access to the area.

Size & Amenities

Most fifth-wheel campers range in length from roughly 20 feet up to 40 feet or longer. Depending on the configuration, there may be a multi-level layout where the gooseneck allows for additional storage space, a sizable bedroom, or just extra living space in general. You’ll find all of the features you’d expect, like a cooking area, multiple sleeping areas (typically enough for around six people), a dining area, a bathroom, and other amenities. Luxury fifth-wheel campers put a premium on space, so for those who don’t want to commit to a Class A, B, or C motorhome but want a similar experience, fifth wheels are an attractive option.

Price & Popular Brands

Like other similar campers and travel trailers, the price for a fifth wheel will ultimately depend on its size, condition, age, and features. New models can cost anywhere from around $19,000 up to $150,000 or more, whereas used models can go as low as $5,000.
