Fifth Wheel Bible
The Fifth Wheel Bible is the first book devoted to fifth wheel trailers. Fifth wheels are distinctly different from all of the other types of recreational vehicles and this book covers everything there is to know about them. The market place survey guides the reader through the myriad models in the fifth wheel universe. Additional topics include shopping for fifth wheels, understanding weights and tow vehicles, selecting and operating the fifth wheel hitch, options and accessories, and instructions on towing, maneuvering, parking, and hookups. The author then takes us on the road to explore self-contained camping in the boondocks.
The book includes checklists for departure, arrival and setup, and scheduled maintenance.
