DESCRIPTION
5th wheeler caravans in Ararat & Victoria
A fifth wheel caravan is normally towed on a coupling located above the rear axle of a ute, rather than by a vehicle with a tow ball.
The fifth wheel is a horseshoe-shaped coupling on the rear of the towing vehicle which attaches to the coupling pin (or kingpin) on the front of the caravan.
Fifth wheeler caravans originated in North America where huge pickup trucks can easily tow caravans. This enabled a large 5th wheeler caravans (30â² and over) market to develop. The term came to be associated with very big rigs. In the late â90s, smaller versions which could be towed by a ute were developed in Australia.
