Electric Trailer Mover
A fifth wheel trailer is a bi-level towable mobile home, easily attached to a tow vehicle for travel. These trailers can provide all the comforts of home for weekend getaways, family vacations and full-time living. In a fifth wheel, the master bedroom is located in the forward, raised section of the trailer. This allows more room in the rear, living area of the unit. Add in optional slide-outs and these trailers can become remarkably spacious.
Fifth wheel trailers have a hitch design and will require a pickup truck for towing. It is critical that you be aware of the weight of your fifth wheel and ensure you have adequate towing capacity when fully loaded with all your gear. Once you are properly hooked up, you'll find towing a fiver a stable, smooth experience. Having the hitch over your rear tires significantly improves traction and handling.
As you can imagine, fifth wheels come in different sizes and with different features. Naturally, this will affect pricing, but the range is somewhere between $12,000 and $100,000, depending on amenities. The lengths of fifth wheels will range from 21-40 feet. Larger units can sleep as many as eight people.
Detaching Your Fifth Wheel
Any fifth wheel trailer can be detached from your pick-up truck once you arrive at your destination. If you plan on then moving your fiver with a gas powered TrailerTug Pro, make sure you check the weight before you do anything. Our units are designed to handle up to 10,000 lbs/750 lbs tongue weight capacity. Larger fifth wheel trailers may exceed this, so use caution. However, if your fifth wheel meets the weight capacity, the TrailerTug Pro will make moving your fifth wheel a breeze.
