Fifth-wheel trailers have an extended front that hangs over the tow vehicle and a horizontal plate that looks like a wheel (hence the name "fifth wheel") that rests on the tow vehicle for support. Usually full-size pickup trucks serve as tow vehicles for fifth wheels but in recent years innovations in design have drastically reduced the weight of some 5th wheels so they can be towed with a 1/2 ton pickup. Certain units like the Heartland Sundance can even be towed with short bed pick up trucks. The extension on the front of the trailer also serves as a bedroom in most fifth wheels. many fifth wheels come with slideouts - up to 4 in some cases. Fifth-wheel trailers usually provide cooking facilities, a refrigerator, heating, air conditioning, a self-contained toilet, a shower, water tanks (fresh water, grey water, black water), faucets, sinks, a LP (propane) gas supply, and a separate 100-125 volt electrical system. They can sleep up to six people depending on the model and the floor plan.

 

Carolina Coach carries Carriage, Sun Valley, Crossroads, Heartland, Keystone, R-Vision and many other fine new and used fifth wheels.
