Motorhome equivalent of caravan.

An aberration!

Worst of all worlds in my opinion.

An aberration!

Worst of all worlds in my opinion.

Interesting. Large capacity Moho with a vehicle for touring in when pitched. Bit like a caravan

Just out of interest, why? I always thought they had a lot of advantages apart from possibly positioning on site.

 

[Reximuss]

Looks like the consensus is that they are hybrid then.

A fifth wheeler is just a caravan in a party dress isn't it.

 

[Reximuss]

Oooo h controvertial.

 

[GMLS]

For Chuggers who are just too stubborn to get a motorhome and cant bear to give up the Wastemaster they bought with their anniversary money

A fifth wheeler is a caravan just different
Just like a morello is a motorhome like a swift escape

A Fat caravan in a BIG party dress
its appealing to some and appalling to others
I think that is the beauty of our hobby

Does that make the 5th wheeler a drag act?

We had a fiver, and found it a great combination. Oodles of room, in the trailer with slide outs, large capacity fresh and waste tanks, and the convenience of a truck to go 'driveabouts'. It towed like a dream, far better than a car/caravan, and shorter than some car/caravan set ups.

Reversing is much easier than with a car/caravan, and on the go much more stable.

The downside is camp grounds. Some don't know what to make of them, some won't allow them, and aires in Europe don't allow them.

Personally, I would have another in a heartbeat, if places accepted them more.

A huge fiver arrived at C&MC Strathclyde today. Created a bit of mayhem 'cause they were very early so was blocking the entrance!

They have their fans same as detachable's
They meet some peoples needs very well but I would thing they are difficult things to sell on
You would probably need to sell the tow vehicle as a package to get much interest
I could see them being attractive to some full timers
