Motor coach RVs are expensive and when it comes to making your choice between a travel trailer or fifth wheel, you may be curious as to what the main differences are between these two RV options.

The main difference in these two RVs is that the travel trailer is towed by a truck, SUV, van or car. They come in a variety of sizes and options, but the travel trailer that you choose should be one that is easily hauled by your vehicle of choice. The second main difference between travel trailers is that they can be a few thousand dollars cheaper depending on the amenities that you choose.

Travel trailers are often lighter in weigh than a fifth wheel, but they may also include many of the same features of an RV. Depending on the size of the travel trailer, you may have the option of roof top patios, bay windows, hideaway beds, slide-outs, offices, lowering roofs and even fireplaces. All of these features make camping in your travel trailer a lot more comfortable than a tent or some of the smaller van RVs. They are designed to have all of the conveniences of home and are easily pulled by a ball hitch. They range in size from 12 to 35 feet and some models may sleep up to 8 people.

Fifth wheels are towed by trucks that have a special "fifth wheel" hitch. These RVs tend to have taller ceilings and more slide-out options than travel trailers. Some models may even have four slide-outs. The unique shape of the fifth wheel allows for a bi-level design for a master bedroom or living room over the truck bed. There is often a picture window at either end for a nice view from the trailer. These RVs also include many of the conveniences of home as well. Many are elegantly furnished and have a variety of features for cooking and just hanging out.

Both trailers are able to be detached from the towing vehicle. This is very handy as it allows you to unhook and use your vehicle freely. Large coach type RVs can be difficult to maneuver around town when you are sightseeing. Travel trailers and fifth wheels allow you to use your vehicle independently of the trailer. With both types of travel trailers it is important to match the weight of the RV to the towing capacity of your towing vehicle. Your dealer will be able to help you determine this. There have also been lightweight fifth wheels that have recently been introduced and may be an option for you as well.
