Thanks Paul.

The questions I’ve always wondered about are liquid waste disposal and fresh water replacement. How are you accomplishing that in Quartzite? Do you just hookup and drive to the nearest Flying -J?

Thanks

Hi Jim,

A couple of things in favour of a trailer.

First, there is no need for a towed vehicle. Toads add a second vehicle to maintain along with the main rig. Second, if something happens with the motor or drive train in a motorized RV, most times you’re going to be looking for a motel to stay in until it’s repaired. That can be anywhere from a day to a week or more.

As for trailers to fifth wheels, the main point is weight distribution. A fifth wheel has a higher pin weight centered over the rear axle. This can easily exceed a thousand pounds (half ton max). For you, this would mean a new (to you) vehicle. Trailer pin weights rarely exceed 400 pounds.

Just some things to think about.

Cheers
