Tow Bar

Talking about fifth wheel accessories means two things: first, there are interior accessories like slide-outs that create distinct spaces as well as amenities like washer/dryers. These are choices that an owner will have to make based on personal preference and budget since there are quite a number of customizable features out there. The second category of accessory involves the trailer hitch. This will also depend on budget and personal choice, but without it, you won't be able to get your fiver anywhere.

A number of companies offer trailer hitches for different vehicles. Knowing your vehicle's towing capacity is the key to getting the right one. The same is true when using a gas-powered tower from TrailerTugPro.com. Our 6 and 6-1/2 horse powered models are designed to handle up to 10,000 lbs/750 lbs tongue weight capacity. For the safety of you and your fifth wheel, never tow a trailer that exceeds the towing capacity!

Storage Space and More

If you are planning on adding a fifth wheel hook-up to your truck, there are a number of other accessories designed to help you stow your gear. Several toolbox manufacturers offer models to work around fifth wheel trailer hitches. Also on the market are fifth wheel boxes. Finally, as the setup for a fifth wheel trailer hitch can interfere with the tailgate, specially designed air gates can be purchased. These are made of a metal mesh and have a V-shaped cutout in the center for the hitch.

Whatever you choices, safely getting your fiver to and from your destination is the most important thing you will do. At TrailerTugPro.com, we offer a solution for maneuvering in tight-fitting areas. Just make sure to use caution and check the weight of your fifth wheel before doing so and you'll have a smooth, easy experience. For those who love their fifth wheels and the freedom and fun they provide, a TrailerTug Pro is the perfect way to keep adventures simple, easy, and fun.
