Is it OK to parallel park a fifth wheel?
Parallel parking a fifth-wheel and tow vehicle just isn’t our idea of a lot of fun. But a side-note to the “new” or “contemplating” fifth-wheeler: If you decide to drop off the fiver and use the truck for tooling around, don’t make the common rookie mistake!
Can a rear wheel truck pull a fifth wheel?
Looking at our Fifth Wheel Owner Data tool we see that few 5th wheel owners use dual rear wheel trucks to pull their rigs. Unless you are hauling a rig with a weight over 20,000 lbs a dual rear wheel truck is probably not needed.
What’s the most common mistake new fifth wheel owners make?
Reading through our forums at RV.net, there’s a mistake that happens fairly often to new (or even very experienced) fifth-wheel owners. Imagine you’ve just driven a couple hundred miles to your destination.
Do you have to leave your 5th Wheel hitched?
Sometimes the best option is to get in the truck and leave right away. Many manufacturers insist that your 5th wheel be leveled before operating your slides. This is true of my Jayco. Unless you are lucky with your site, your hitch configuration and truck suspension, that usually can’t happen without unhitching.

Can a 5th wheel be used in a motorhome?
Additionally, the trailer itself is also expensive. By the time it’s all said and done, you could easily purchase a new Class A Motorhome. If you already own a heavy-duty truck, a 5th wheel may be an option to consider. However, if you need to purchase both, you may want to consider a drivable RV.
