Trading a 5th Wheel for a Truck Camper

We did this very same thing last year. Well we didn’t trade our fifth wheel in but sold it privately and moved to a triple slide TC. Very happy with the move after most of one season with the TC. We had a 35 foot 4 slide fifth wheel that was almost 16k and already had a truck that could handle the heavy triple slide TC with a few mods . No more tires ,brakes, hitches, property taxes and no sales tax for us because of the state we purchased the TC in. The fifth wheel was beautiful and we also had 10 great years with it but felt we wanted to downsize heading into retirement and hopefully doing more traveling and less time spent in one place. I will say that the smaller TC’s even some of the models with one slide would not have worked for us coming from such a large fifth wheel. The bigger TC’s are heavy so a big truck is needed for the move and a 5500 would be best if your plan is to tow anything with a Big TC . It has worked out great for us so far and can’t wait for spring to arrive here in the northeast , good luck with your plans , also just a heads up on selling or trading your fifth wheel as of last fall the market for fifth wheels was not very good , I could not even get dealers to take mine on consignment at it was in mint condition, I was told there are too many out there for sale . It took 6 months to sell it . Our truck camper dealer does not take trailers in trade so we had to sell it privately which was an adventure in itself, but I don’t think your
going to get what you exspect for your current trailer on trade.
