Fifth Wheeler Caravan Dealers & Manufacturers Australia

Fifth wheel caravans occupy a unique position in the Australian market: they offer the largest usable living space of any towable caravan format, at a comparable or lower tow weight than many full-size conventional caravans of similar length, thanks to a portion of the van's weight sitting over the tow vehicle's rear axle via a fifth-wheel coupling rather than behind it on a ball hitch.

The practical result is a caravan with a bi-level floor plan. The elevated front section sits above the tow vehicle's tray, creating a separate bedroom loft that is separated from the main living area. This bi-level design gives serious long-term travellers and full-timers a layout that feels far more like a permanent home than a conventional caravan interior of similar length.

Fifth wheel caravans require a compatible tow vehicle fitted with a fifth-wheel hitch in the tray, typically a ute or truck with sufficient tray length and towing capacity. Buyers should confirm tow ratings and hitch specifications carefully before committing. Quality fifth wheel caravans in the premium segment start from around $100,000, with fully optioned builds reaching $200,000 and above.
