The Best Rated Fifth Wheel Campers

The Best Rated Fifth Wheel Campers

camping,trailer image by Greg Pickens from Fotolia.com

Fifth wheel campers are travel trailers that hitch to the bed of a pickup truck. This improves stability on the road and reduces overall towing length. The bed-mounted hitch also enhances traction and handling by putting the trailer's weight over your truck's rear axle. Since fifth wheel trailers have more interior space and height than most travel trailer designs, they're popular with experienced RVers. With a fifth wheel camper you have all the comforts of home for far less than a motor home.

Excel Limited Edition

Roaming Times describes themselves as "the best RV resource on the Internet" and after looking at Excel's Limited Edition they gushed "No other RV in history can match the Excel Limited Edition for home-like amenities and uncompromising quality." Excel designed the Limited Edition to be "a 5-star hotel on wheels" by offering 18 impressive floor plans with interiors selected by professional decorators. Exclusive features like a 32-inch HD LCD TV with theater-style seating and three slide-outs in the living room to maximize floor space put this fifth wheel in a class by itself. Solid wood cabinets, Berber-style carpets and recessed halogen lighting are also standard and extras like king-sized bedroom suites and padded ceilings are available as options.

Keystone Montana High Country

According to Keystone and Roaming Times, Montana is the top selling fifth wheel trailer in America. Roaming Times praises the spacious and open floor plan and says "none of the details have been overlooked or forgotten." The High Country version of Keystone's Montana improves on the original by dramatically reducing weight without eliminating the features and amenities that make Montana a market leader. Keystone says the advanced materials and manufacturing used to build their High Country saves "1300-2500 pounds compared to typically equipped fifth wheels." The advantage to you is less strain on your truck and better mileage on the road.

Keystone Cougar

The success of Keystone's Montana is mirrored by their Cougar fifth wheel. Keystone and Roaming Times believe that Cougar's many amenities, high build quality, innovative floor plans and affordable price has made it "number 1 in its class for 7 straight years." Keystone's five-sided aluminum frame with three-inch welded aluminum floor and one-piece EPDM roof membrane explains the confidence behind their outstanding 12-year warranty. You'll love the hardwood cabinets and large windows with day-night shades and one of the floor plans even comes with a toy-hauler garage.
