Used Fifth Wheel Buying Guide

Choosing the right used fifth wheel can be a wise investment for budget-focused adventure enthusiasts. However, you’ll want to avoid focusing on the sticker price alone and make a well-rounded decision to ensure maximum returns on your investment. Here are a few considerations you’ll want to prioritize when buying a pre-owned recreational vehicle!

Determine Your Needs

When looking at used fifth wheels, start by identifying your requirements. Determine how frequently you plan to travel and the size of your traveling group. Consider the number of beds, kitchen appliances, and living space amenities that suit your lifestyle, and then finalize your decision. It's essential to consider the hauling capacity, too; ensure that your towing vehicle can safely handle your preferred fifth wheel’s weight.

Inspect the Used Fifth Wheel Thoroughly

Inspections are crucial when buying any pre-owned resale item, including used fifth wheels. Check for structural integrity by examining the frame and hitch area. Look for signs of wear or damage, such as rust or cracks, especially around joints and seals that may require repairs. You’ll also want to ensure all plumbing systems function properly and test electrical components, too.
