Often we are asked, which do we recommend. Here is a list of the pro's and con's of a fifth wheel vs travel trailer.
Fifth Wheel Pros
•Roomier floorplans, more space for larger families
•Better maneuverability backing in
•Split bedrooms with doors
•Options for second bathrooms and king-sized bed
•More space and privacy in master bedroom

•Greater stability and smoother towing
