Both of these are considered to be very durable and sturdy enough to offer comforts of having a home of wheels. They come with a number of differences with the main one having to do with the tow hitch. This special hitch works as the tow truck bed and is attached to the frame of the vehicle in the fifth wheel trailers, the focus of this article.

Normally, a special hitch type is used. It has to be installed at the bed of the truck. In addition to this, you need to make sure that the truck is properly equipped and can easily handle all the weight, including trailer pin weight which is usually placed on the vehicle rear axle.
