What is a Good RV 5th Wheel Model?

A great question I recently heard is:

“What is the best model to buy if I want a 5th Wheel RV?”

My Two Cents:

5th Wheels are something that you have to pick based on some of your priorities. For instance, I found someone that just loves their Montana Fifth Wheel because it has a large desk…

I would suggest going out to the RV Dealer and looking for one yourself. See what fits you right. You are the one that is going to be using it, and each and every person lives in their space differently.

Have you thought about buying used? You can save a lot in depreciation and the first owners have usually corrected the things that inevitably gone wrong in the first few monthes or years of the 5th Wheel’s life.

Whether you decide to buy used for new, it’s always wise to educate yourself on how to buy an RV with wisdom and save a few bucks.

There are two great books on the subject:

The first book is the Used RV Buying Guide. The guy who wrote this has been working on RV’s for years and even has a “Spot the RV Problem” quiz on this site.

The second good buy is Malia’s RV Checklists which cover everything you need to know BEFORE and AFTER the RV purchase. Very good information at this site.
