About 5th Wheel Vehicles and American Motorhomes
The campsites listed on this page can accept American-style motorhomes or 5th-wheel vehicles. These vehicles need longer, wider pitches, with hardstandings capable of holding the extra weight of these oversized vehicles.
These sites may only have a couple of suitable pitches for these larger leisure vehicles, and you should contact the campsite in advance to ensure they can accommodate your vehicle. Please also note any height, width or weight restrictions on your final approach to the site; this can usually be found in the 'Directions' section of each campsite listing.
Popular 5th-wheel vehicles are made by Jayco, Gulfstream, Rockwood, Puma and the 5th Wheel Company in the UK. Winnebago, Thor and Forest River are all well-known manufacturers of American-style motorhomes.
What are the advantages of 5th Wheel Vehicles and American Motorhomes
5th-wheel vehicles and American motorhomes are popular choices for those who enjoy travelling and exploring the outdoors. Here are some advantages of each:
Advantages of 5th-Wheel Vehicles:
- Spacious living: Fifth wheels have a unique design that allows for a spacious living area. They typically have high ceilings and slide-out rooms that increase the interior space when parked.
- Easy towing: With experience, fifth-wheel trailers can be easier to tow than travel trailers because they are designed to be hitched to the bed of the pickup truck. This also provides better manoeuvrability while driving.
- Stability: The unique design of fifth wheels allows for a more stable towing experience, with the weight of the trailer resting over the truck's rear axle.
- Durability: Fifth wheels are built with sturdy materials, making them durable and able to withstand harsh road conditions.
Advantages of American Motorhomes:
- All-in-one travel: American motorhomes provide an all-in-one travel experience as they combine a living space, kitchen, bathroom, and bedroom all in one vehicle.
- Comfortable driving: Motorhomes are built on a truck or bus chassis, which provides a smooth and comfortable driving experience. It can also be easier to adjust to a motorhome's size and weight when driving.
- Self-contained: Most American motorhomes come with onboard water tanks, holding tanks, and generators, which allow travellers to camp without the need for hookups.
- Customizable: American motorhomes can be customized to meet individual needs, with options for floor plans, amenities, and features.
Both 5th-wheel trailers and American motorhomes have their own unique advantages, and the choice ultimately comes down to personal preference and travel needs.
What are the disadvantages of 5th Wheel Vehicles and American Motorhomes
There are several disadvantages to using American-style motorhomes or 5th wheelers when camping in Europe and the UK, including:
Disadvantages of 5th Wheel Vehicles and American Motorhomes
- Size: American-style motorhomes and 5th wheelers are generally larger than European-style motorhomes, which can make them difficult to manoeuvre on narrow roads and tight campsites. This can be especially problematic in the UK, where many roads and campsites are not designed for larger vehicles.
- Fuel efficiency: American-style motorhomes and 5th wheelers tend to be less fuel efficient than European-style motorhomes, which can be a significant disadvantage in countries where fuel prices are high.
- Electrical systems: American-style motorhomes and 5th wheelers often use a different electrical system than what is used in Europe and the UK. This can make it difficult to find compatible outlets and adapters and can also increase the risk of electrical problems.
- Parking restrictions: Many cities and towns in Europe and the UK have strict parking restrictions that make it difficult to park larger vehicles. This can limit where you can travel and may require you to find alternative transportation to explore certain areas.
- Availability of parts and service: If your American-style motorhome or 5th wheeler requires repairs or maintenance while travelling in Europe or the UK, you may have difficulty finding parts and service providers that are familiar with your specific vehicle. This can lead to delays and added expense.
