Hello all, 
		
	
		
		
		
		
		
	
		 
		
	
	
	I'm wondering if anyone had ever tried using a fifth wheel RV to pull a glider trailer. This would make an ideal setup for going to glider contests if the trailing dynamics were workable. I did a cursory look on the web yesterday and found a 30 ft fifth wheel that did come equipped with a trailer hitch. It also would seem to be a fairly economic plan in that you can buy a lot more house for your money with a 5th wheel compared to a motorhome. When you get there, the house is disconnected leaving a 4X4 truck to pull you out of farm fields and run around town. I'd suspect that a shorter RV with wheels near the aft hitch would give the best chance of working well.  |
