Before you make the decision to purchase your fifth wheel, whether from a dealer or a private party, you should check out this guide, “Towing Your Fifth Wheel Like A Professional”. The author walks the reader through several important considerations. Concerning fifth wheel ownership. The following are covered in the guide:
- How to choose the correct truck to tow your vehicle, what weight requirements must be considered for either a three quarter ton truck or a one ton truck.
- What fifth wheel trailer hitch is best for the trailer I am interested in. There are several different styles of hitches on the market.

As I read this guide, “Towing Your Fifth Wheel Like A Professional”. several thoughts came to mind. As a camphost, I see several campers a month that come into the campground with improper hook ups. I am not sure that they sought the correct advice when they set up their rig. These campers need a guide like this. I see people backing up their rigs and actually damage their trailers, vehicles, or the campground. For the $14.95 cost of this guide, you could save yourself a lot of heartache down the road.
