Re: Truck and 5th wheel or conversion van and TT
We have kids 9, 6 and 4. 2 are going to be my size, 6'3"ish 200lbs plus in high school weight. All really good thoughts that we've been thinking. I really like the idea of extra room for guests. But the ability to double pull in the future might be nice too. If I did get the van, it would have the weight distributing hitch and anti sway. Thanks everyone for confirming my views.566Views0likes0CommentsTruck and 5th wheel or conversion van and TT
After years of camping and back packing along with a growing family, 3 kids, we decided to move up to an RV trailer this season. I'm aware of the towing differences already between the travel trailer and a 5th wheel. Our first thought is to get 2500 conversion van along with a jayco white hawk 28dsbh. This way there will be more room while traveling. Other option is to upgrade my current half ton truck to a 1 ton and get a jayco eagle ht 29.5 bhds. My wife prefers the 5th wheel, which I admit seems better built. I prefer having more space while traveling. 3 kids side by side all day makes the day longer. Any life experience or thoughts on the manner would be greatly appreciated.4.7KViews0likes20Comments
