Our First Fifth Wheel Installation

Today we’re installing a Kathrein CAP900 Satellite Dish on a Fifth Wheel trailer built by the Fifth Wheel Company in Denbighshire.

Fifth wheels are common in north America but in the U.K. and Europe they are still a bit of a rarity. One look inside though, especially when the slide-out living area is extended, gives a good idea of the advantages of this kind of set-up. The amount of space really is very impressive and the completely separate bedroom and bathroom reminded me of an American RV. However, there are several advantages over a conventional R.V. For a start, they tend to cost a lot less. Then, there’s the ability to easily unhitch the trailer from the towing vehicle, ease of towing, lower running costs and easier maintenance. Definitely worth looking at!
