Hitching Up Your Fifth Wheeler

Fifth wheels have a unique hitching system called a gooseneck hitch. This type of hitch anchors into the open bed of a pickup truck or other flatbed style truck. These types of hitches provide the fifth wheel with the stability to make towing it so much easier than other types of trailers.

When hitching up your fifth wheel, you will need to install the coupling to your truck bed first. After that, you will need to make sure that your trailer and your vehicle are on level ground. Raise up the hitch on your fifth wheel until it is the same height as the bed of your truck, and then slowly back up your truck until the coupling and the hitch meet. All you need to do now is fasten them together and you’re set to go!

Types of Fifth Wheels

Fifth wheels come in many different styles that are meant to address different needs while out on the road. Some styles are geared towards social events like tailgating and short trips, sporting events for example. Other styles have more space and features to accommodate long trips and overnight stays.

For example, toy haulers are a subclass of the fifth wheel that has an enclosed compartment in the rear that has sturdy construction, making them perfect for powersports equipment and motorcycles. Toy haulers are a great choice if you want more space for your weekend adventures.
