Starting to look at toy box trailers and 5th wheels.
I am in the market for a 26-30ft and am not sure which type is better.
Looking for bunks in the back with a front sleeper.
No problem with my truck puller either one. I have a long bed 2500 cummins 4x4
Just looking for pros and cons of trailer vs. 5th wheel....
I had a 5th wheel toy hauler 30ft and my race trailer 32ft which is a regular hitch, the 5th wheel tows way better and is a lot more stable, if you do get a regular hitch, I would highly recommend stabilizer bars it made a huge difference on the race trailer
Just buck up and get both! :D

Is there a kitchenette as well???
Simple lounge I built myself to seat 5 on the road.
I got a 30' 5'er, used to have a 40'er. Much more stable, especially in winds. Nice private bedroom and most, if not all, have rear bunks and two side bunks(sofa&table fold downs).
Easier to maneuver and back in, etc.
I've been looking and it seems most 5th wheels are in the high 30ft-40ft range...
I do want the rear bunks and side beds but most important is the front private sleeper...
Still looking...

For towing purpose , 5th wheel all day long over bumper pull and you could even make ur 5th wheel better, by getting the adapter to make it a goose neck , which also allows you you jus have a ball in the bed of truck, giving you more room in the bed ,
Jus my opinion, from towing cattle and horses and other farm animals and I also converted my 5th wheel over to gooseneck.

Listen to him ^ about converting away from that bulky 5th Wheel hitch. I use a goose-neck ball for both trailers and it's soooooo nice.
Hey what's up Milky

I guess he used to haul horses....Also got the electrical receiver in the bed as well.

Glad it's some good info for ya. If you do go this route , u will never go to a 5th wheel hitch. Also : add that u don't get any slop or play with gooseneck. Hence why farmers use it, to try and give the smoothest ride to their prize winning cow [emoji12][emoji106][emoji41][emoji202]

Ed Zachary! I talked a few of my buddies into going that route and they haven't looked back. The only issue is, now if they need something moved and don't have a truck, I get the call because I have a gooseneck too. Just my luck.Quote:
