7. RV Fifth Wheel - This trailer is mounted to a special hitch in the bed section of the pickup truck. You will recognize it from the "gooseneck" section that extends over the towing truck. It rests for support on the bed of the truck via a horizontal plate that resembles a wheel (ergo, "fifth wheel). Your tow truck will need to be specially equipped to accept this hitch. Although you will not be able to use the bed of the truck, the fifth wheel usually locates the master bedroom in the section that is supported by the truck bed. This trailer measures from twenty feet to over forty and its features, although potentially stripped down, can compare to a high end travel trailer. The larger models are built strong to withstand road stress and have slide out rooms for increased square footage. And like the travel trailer, there is no engine, so no trips to your mechanic for a tune-up (http://www.abbysguide.com/recreational-vehicle/guide/fifth-wheel.html).
