The reason there is not much info is that they are not very popular in UK . Try a search on American web sites. I think a Hobby caravan and car would do a better job.

Members of the club, to which I belong, have one of these, it really is beautiful.  I think the website on the back of his van www.fifthwheel.co.uk   give it a try.  He got his from a manufacturer in Wales, UK.

Sorry I don't have one of these lovely caravans. I did see one at a local dealers a few weeks ago and was very impressed, sadly it belonged to someone who had brought it in for a service. The guy had bought it direct from the Fifth Wheel Co who do not sell from stock. The caravans are all built to customer specs. The one I saw had a shower fitted to the outside for those days when you have been on the beach and come back covered in sand etc. a quick shower (hot and cold water) before getting into the 'van keeps it nice and clean!

Now where's me lottery ticket!

Fifth Wheel Co

As far as i am aware these are the only fifth wheelers constructed in the UK.

Welcome to UKCS!!!

I dont get it, you have to have a pick up and the tow van is like a caravan with a overhang, but much more expensive. So why would you want one. The Americans like them.

Just don't get it, am I missing someting.

There is one sited at Honeybridge Park. I believe it had the name Wilderness and used by a site warden. Moveable rooms extend out in all directions and seems massive when extended.

Just thought I would let you know that a 5th wheel has just come on ebay if it's any use to you.

Hi sizeyuk

We have a 5th wheel and are going to full time in it next year.We have only had it since April but it seems to do everything we expected if I can be of any help please let me know. 

Hi,

We occasionally meet a CC member from Wales (decent enough chap,all the same) and he has a 5th wheel rig, registration R5 WHL (or very similar).

His tow vehicle is based on a Japanese crewcab and from recollection he said the rig cost him £60somthingK.

Excellent space, top notch quality and all that. The only problems that he had were that the size of the rig meant that he had to choose his sites carefully and that although he has sizable on board fresh and grey water tanks, if he isn't sited on a service pitch, after a few days he has to mess about with hose pipes to get water, or drag the unit around to the service area.

IMHO, not really the most practical of set ups for the UK.
