Important Features Of Fifth Wheels

At Pete’s RV, we know that an important part of getting the most out of your fifth wheel is understanding its features. Once you understand your fifth wheel'a features, you have a better idea of how to maintain it. It may even give you ideas for possible future upgrades you might wish to install. Here are some important features of fifth wheel RVs.
 

Landing Jacks

Fifth wheel owners can choose to use electric landing jacks or hydraulic self-leveling jacks. The former is cheaper, but the latter are more convenient since they don’t require manual assistance. Self-leveling jacks can also be helpful when it is time to do maintenance work on your fifth wheel's wheels or suspension.
 

Holding Tanks

The maximum capacity of your holding fifth wheel tanks is important to keep in mind because smaller tanks mean more frequent visits to a dump station to dispose of unwanted wastewater. If you plan to camp off the grid, also known as boondocking, or don’t want to take lots of trips to the dump station for any other reason, you need to get bigger tanks. If you do choose to boondock, you should probably upgrade your freshwater tanks as well. A general rule is that a 30-gallon freshwater tank will only last you about three days while boondocking, severely limiting your trip’s length.  
 

Solar Ready

New fifth wheel models are starting to embrace solar power. Some come with solar panels pre-installed, while others are “solar ready,” meaning that they are designed to make solar panel installation easier. Solar power is good for the environment and can be useful if you plan to boondock or visit more remote areas where hookups are scarce. If you see a model marked “solar ready,” be sure to find out how much wattage it can support.
 

Accessibility for Repairs

Even the toughest fifth wheels eventually need maintenance. Some manufacturers really go the extra mile in making things easier for owners and technicians by designing to offer easy access. A few even color-code the internal systems so that repair work can go even faster. If you are interested in these features, ask one of our staff members about which makes and models offer them.
