I am beginning to look for either a small 5th wheel or travel trailer. I have a truck camper which I intend to keep for the traveling we do. However, when I go to places around the country helping to feed folks after natural disasters, I can not use my truck to get food out into the areas I need to plus my bride is going with me more.
Our needs are small,dry bath,nice size fridge,A/C,
I have a 3500 Dodge Mega cab CDI.

If you plan on carrying supplies with you, consider a toy hauler. They usually have a much higher CCC, so carrying cases of food/water would be a breeze. Also, many have built-in fuel stations so you'd have gas for your genny (you =do= plan on having one, right? :-) ).

We already have a toy hauler which is towed and used by our leader.It has had the back end converted into a place to cook and prepare meals. Most of our meals are the sandwich type. We have put a freezer,four convection ovens,warming tower, three tables and then overhead storage. When we get to a location we usually make arrangements with someone like Sysco or we go to the nearest Sam and buy our supplies. We can turn out up to 2000 meals per day if we can get some local volunteers help us put things together.
When I go with my truck and truck camper I usually can not use the truck. I also do not like to take camper off because I have to go empty tanks and we might move to another location. Having a fifth wheel hitch in back is no problem because when we go out to the areas to hand out meals I usually can carry in back and in bed.
The other reason for wanting either a TT or FW is we are staying longer sometimes. Plus with the five locations we did lately it would have been nicer for my bride. And being 74 I do not have that much longer to do this.Maybe 10 or 12 years.
Thanks
