advice on rv or 5th wheel

Posted

Looked all over the site for the right place for this. Apologies if I missed a better place for it.....anyway long story short, I'm off to Canada for 2 weeks holiday just me and wife (1st holiday since 2009) once back I intend to buy either american rv or 5th wheel thing is I can't decide which would be best.  To break down costs an rv would be £230 road tax and approx  £200 insurance. 5th wheel is no cost per year. RV could pose a problem with manoverability especially the rear overhang as Wales and Scotland is a first and roads aren't american rv friendly. My 3500 is too big for parking spaces in my local town.... been fined twice for not being inside parking bay.....!  so pros and cons for both. Also uk/europe are really getting on diesels but I have both petrol and diesel so not bothered. I'm a mechanic so neither petrol or diesel or trailer is an issue

Well arrived at the site after getting lost around Reading,  site is more for EU camper stuff NOT ours. Rather tight to get in. Right next to a huge lake and it's pissin it down. Truck ran perfect lots of power on lvl 3 of 14 on a tow tune,had to really baby the power in lockup oh well trans needed. Geez what a difference 5th to bumper pull

My wife Jo has a question, the bed in our 5th is a smidgen shorter than a Uk bed.... fair enough..... how come most of the light switches are close to 8ft off of the floor. Do you guys sleep like grasshoppers ?

I have a couple like that in the main area but there is a master switch under an overhead wall cupboard that can be used also to operate them.   5th wheels have a higher ceiling/roof line because of those 2-3 steeps to go up to the bedroom.

    Thats what it needs. :thumb1: I'll be looking for a very small cord switch when I get back. Suns out.. no rain, overlooking a lake drinking a beer. Off to the south  coast tomorrow
