10 Best Built Fifth-Wheel Campers
Buying a fifth-wheel camper can be overwhelming because there are many different models available on the market. However, it does not need to be.
We’ve compiled a list of fifth-wheel campers that are well-built, durable, cozy, convenient, and perfect for camping!
Below are the 10 best-built fifth-wheel campers:
What Are The Best Built 5th Wheels?
1. Keystone Montana
According to those who own this fifth-wheel and RV critics, it is one of the best campers to own if you plan to go off-grid for a long time. It is also perfect for those who want to try full-time RV living.
One of the best things about this camper is the fact that it has multiple storage areas. So if you have plenty of clothes and other belongings like most people, you should be able to find enough space to store everything you own out of sight.
Keystone Montana has a single stately bedroom with a Queen-size bed in terms of sleeping areas. The bedroom has multiple storage areas.
This RV also has several other sleeping areas in the form of hide-away beds. So it can accommodate a family.
With regards to features, this fifth-wheel has got a large kitchen, a massive refrigerator, a washer, a dryer, a dishwasher, a microwave, a backup camera (for easy parking), and a bathroom.
Probably the reason why many people buy this fifth-wheel is how luxurious it looks both inside and outside. Its construction is also something to write home about because it is quite sturdy and durable.
2. Forest River Wildcat Series
The Forest River Wildcat has won various awards since first introduced to the market. It is regarded as one of the cheapest feature-rich and durable fifth-wheel campers in the United States!
What we love the most about the Forest River Wildcat is how compact it is. It has a small footprint and is also lightweight, making it easier and safer to tow. It also makes it easier to maneuver over rough/ slippery terrain.
I also love that this camper comes with a beautiful bedroom that features a king-style bed. The Forest River Wildcat’s other sleeping areas include a bunk area and a convertible living room area.
In short, this camper can accommodate a large family.
The living room in this camper has recliner couches and spinning captain chairs. It is the perfect place to lounge, have a game night, host guests, eat, or enjoy a movie or a TV show.
With regards to features, this fifth-wheel comes with a standard oven, a microwave, a refrigerator, an exterior grill/ cooking area, a large sink, a spacious bathroom, an entertainment center in the living room, and multiple storage cabinets.
Forest River Wildcat Series camper looks and feels like a small apartment. It is a camper you will love camping in, and it does not cost as much as most fifth-wheel campers do.
3. Redwood RV Redwood Model
The Redwood RV Redwood Model is one of the most amazing fifth-wheel campers!
It is perfect for those who want to live the RV life. It has everything one needs to live perfectly comfortably off-grid.
The thing that stands out the most about this camper is its versatility. For example, while it has one master bedroom, it can sleep six people comfortably because it has several hide-away beds and convertible beds.
It also comes with plenty of storage areas inside and underneath to enable you to keep it neat by hiding everything away.
The Redwood RV Redwood Model kitchen is spacious and has a large island, storage areas, and quality appliances for cooking complete meals while on the road.
The only thing you may not like about this camper is that it is not a lightweight trailer. Therefore, you need to buy a big truck with a powerful engine to be able to tow it safely.
If you do not already have such a truck, it is better to go for the Forest River model I mentioned above because it is lightweight and can be towed even by many vehicles, including midsize SUVs and smaller trucks.
4. Dutchman Voltage Series
I added the Dutchman Voltage Series fifth-wheel to this list because it is slightly different from standard fifth-wheels. It is different because it is perfect for carrying dirt bikes, bicycles, and ATVs.
This is because it has a huge storage room and a massive door for taking your toys in and out. So if you are an adventure seeker with dirt bikes, bicycles, or an ATV, you should strongly consider getting this RV.
The most amazing thing about this Dutchmen Voltage Series camper is its sleeping capacity. The biggest model is a two-bedroom fifth-wheel camper that can sleep ten people.
The second bedroom of this camper can serve as a storage area for your toys when not being used for sleeping.
More features include a large television, a powerful fireplace, cozy sitting areas, a full kitchen, and a complete bathroom.
This is certainly an amazing one-of-a-kind camper.
5. Heartland BighornÂ
The Heartland Bighorn camper is luxurious and well-built for handling all seasons. It is made by the famous Heartland RV Company, churning out top-quality RVs for US owners for decades now.
The RV has different floor plans available. The most family-friendly floor plan sleeps six people.
The Heartland Bighorn is built to handle different seasons because its siding is vacuum bonded. This means it does not get unnecessarily cold inside.
It also has an insulated floor and an insulated roof.
These facts, plus that this camper has a fireplace, make it perfect even for traveling during winter. For cooling during hot sunny days, this camper has a powerful AC.

6. Grand Design Reflection Series
The Grand Design Reflection Series fifth-wheel camper is unique because it is a true lightweight camper.
It is so light that you can safely tow it using a half-ton truck such as the Ford F-150.
I also recommend the Grand Design Reflection Series fifth-wheel camper if you want a small trailer that is not difficult to tow on challenging terrain or traveling at high speeds on highways.
Because it is a compact and lightweight model, it does not have a lot of extra space. However, it does have a living room and a bedroom.

While the Forest River Wildcat Series I discussed earlier is one of the cheapest and lightest fifth-wheels, this one is pretty pricey and heavy.
The cheapest version of the Forest River Cardinal goes for around $49,000 and weighs approximately 13,000 lbs. While this fifth-wheel camper is heavy and expensive, it is also a high-quality and durable RV.
You can tell it is a high-quality camper by simply looking at its exterior; the camper looks sleek and aerodynamic.
The walls of this camper are vacuum-bonded, making the temperature in it stable. So even if it gets extremely cold outside, as long as you are inside this camper, you have closed your windows, and the camper’s furnace on, you will be warm and cozy.

The Grand Design Solitude is one of the best-made fifth-wheel campers in the United States.Â
It is very customizable, and some of its versions are perfect for camping with the family.
