Fifth wheels are known for their high quality, large amounts of space (both living and storage) and towing stability, making them an ideal choice for families, couples, or anyone considering extended travel or seasonal RVing. Compared to a travel trailer or lightweight camper, fifth wheels are typically larger and require a heavy truck for towing. However, you can find smaller fifth wheels—referred to as half-ton fifth wheels—that are lower in weight and can be towed by half-ton trucks. Across all fifth wheels, many owners claim that the unique hitch configuration allows for easier, smoother towing and a better-turning radius.
Regardless of what RV type you’re considering, it’s important to evaluate different features and why they might be valuable to you. So, if you’re considering buying a fifth-wheel RV, here are some features to consider.
Look at both the interior (cabinets, under-bed storage and multi-use spaces) and exterior storage (pass-through storage and accessibility). It is important to consider the types of activities your family enjoys, ensuring you have enough storage to accommodate any equipment.

The open garage space in the rear or side is used for transporting ATVs, motorcycles, kayaks, and other toys. This can also be used as incremental living space for an office, classroom, workshop, or guest bedroom. Look for frame-welded tie-downs to strap in gear, electric beds, additional overhead storage, and even half-baths.

If you have a large family or plan to take extended trips, having things like a full-size refrigerator is great for storing more food and reducing grocery trips.

Consider where you want extra, wider space (typically in the main living area and primary bedroom) and look for slideout options there. Remember that there are models that offer more than one slideout.

Fifth wheels and toy haulers are known for taller ceilings, which can provide more headspace in the bathroom and showers. They offer a variety of shower and bathroom options, ranging from walk-in showers to more traditional bathtubs.

Many toy haulers come equipped with a rear or side ramp door that doubles as a patio deck, complete with side railings and an overhead awning.

While most RVs come standard with electric or power awnings, double check the size and placement of your awning. You will want to make sure that your awning is able to cover the areas just outside of your RV where you will be spending most of your time.

Some toy haulers come solar-enabled, which means that the connections are pre-installed so you can easily add your own solar panels. Others are built with solar panels already installed. Solar capabilities are becoming increasingly more popular and important with the growth in dry camping.

This can include driving systems, like blind spot sensors and tire pressure monitors, as well as security systems, like alarms and motion-sensing exterior lights.

While some toy haulers come with a standard onboard generator, others do not. You should ask what your options are for installing a generator pre or post-purchase. It is important to know what you can run off the generator as opposed to when you are plugged into shore power.
