If you’ve enjoyed the camping life and have decided to make a commitment to enjoying camping on a regular basis you might want to consider investing in a fifth wheel camper. Fifth wheel campers offer the regular camper a more comfortable and convenient means of camping. Purchasing a fifth wheel camper requires research and an evaluation of your needs. We will examine some of the questions you should ask before signing your name on the dotted line.

The first question you will want to ask yourself is what kind of camping you plan to do. Do you want to be a fulltime camper or an occasional weekend camper? This might help you decide if you want to look at small fifth wheel campers or luxury fifth wheel campers. If you’re a weekend camper you might not need all the amenities of luxury fifth wheel campers and might look at small fifth wheel campers. Also, consider the vehicle you will use to tow your fifth wheel camper. Luxury fifth wheel campers can be heavier and might need a larger vehicle to tow them. The second question you might want to ask yourself is what type of amenities you are looking for in fifth wheel campers. Fifth wheel campers can be as simple as you like or as luxurious as you want. How many bedrooms would you like? Small fifth wheel campers may have only one separate bedroom with pull out couches for additional sleeping space. Luxury fifth wheel campers can have two or three separate bedrooms. Fifth wheel campers can have everything from solar power, ice makers in refrigerators, ceiling fans, A/C controls for bedrooms, large screen TVs, and even a trailer wide stereo system. Many fifth wheel campers come with an awning which allows cover for your picnic table and folding camp chairs. Or, you can invest in your own, easy to install awning like the Carefree Vinyl Awning and save some money.
