Comment on Why did we get a fifth wheel camper? by George

Hi Graham, Sometimes I still do wish that we got a fifth wheel! The biggest drawback to the motorhome is that we have to drive the car behind us. That’s partly for towing license reasons, partly because our car and a trailer would be over the max we could tow.
The motorhome has some fundamental advantages though, as it’s much more suitable for wild camping, and can be parked on suitably sized aires. We also spent a large chunk of last year in Spain on a site where caravans and fifth wheels aren’t allowed.
Saying all that though, we don’t wild camp as much as we expected to, and with advance planning to go from site to site then a fifth wheel would be a great option.
As for planning sites, I think that any sites that we could get into could also take a fifth wheel like the wildcat in this post. From what I’ve seen of U.K. towable fifth wheels on campsites so far, they can be very manoeuvrable, especially with a sliding or sidewinder hitch.
Overall I’m still glad we went for a motorhome, especially for the layout as having a proper bunkhouse and a living space we can divide up easily has been much better than the cobbled together extra bedroom that we were planning.
Good luck with your travels and feel free to ask more questions! Hope we’ve been able to help.

Hi George, just read your post on the motorhome, which explains why you opted for that over fifth wheel. Would still be interested to know your opinion on how you think the fifth wheel would have faired and whether you think it would have been the better option, cost as you indicated in your post aside.

Hi George, many thanks, the article is very informative and particularly relevant to our situation, as we too are thinking of using a fifth wheel to travel around Europe. Having seen a number of your other posts, I see you are travelling around in a motorhome rather than a fifth wheel, why the change of heart? I’d be very interested to understand why you made the switch and your experience of travelling around Europe in something that size. Also, how would a 30-34ft fifth wheel and pickup have faired getting to and into campsites you used?

That’s a shame – which lock is it that isn’t available?

Sadly they don’t make a replacement for the most popular door lock sold by trimark

In reply to Lucinda.

Hi Lucinda,

When we purchased the kit, it was a bit cheaper than it is now. We can only find it at a reasonable price via amazon.com, as in the UK the price is ridiculous! Here is a link to the amazon store where it’s just under $100 plus $35 shipping as of writing: https://amzn.to/36qclaJ

Hi,

You have beautiful images here of Pompeii. May I reuse these (with attribution and link to this blog post) for a small, amateur, non-monetized documentary video? We are trying to share the story of Pompeii and your images are few of the best ones I’ve found so far.
I will not include any images that have your family. Please let me know as soon as you are able as we want to release the video tomorrow and I am a last-minute editor. Thanks! 🙂
