What Are the Typical Fifth Wheel Floor Plans?
What Are the Typical Fifth Wheel Floor Plans? As far as RVs go, there is nothing quite like a fifth wheel. Fifth wheels offer the extra space you would find in a larger motorhome along with the convenience of being able to separate your tow vehicle. You might even say a fifth wheel is the best of both worlds between travel trailers and motorhomes (check out our list of travel trailer manufacturers and our list of motorhome manufacturers). Like any other category of RV, fifth wheels can be had in any number of floor plans. The floor plan you might choose would affect everything from sleeping arrangements to storage.

How Pets Can Make or Break a Camping Trip
How Pets Can Make or Break a Camping Trip Let's be honest. Some of us just love animals. We think nothing of having a house full of pets. And when it's time to take to the road in a motor home or travel trailer, of course we want the pets to go along. But we also know that pets can either make or break a camping trip. There are those RV owners who have traveled with their pets for years. They seem to know exactly what it takes to keep the animals happy and healthy. We are not experts, but we wager that the success veterans have with their pets isn't an accident. Years of experience have probably taught [...]
