Fifth Wheel Upgrades to Consider

Traveling in a fifth wheel RV is very comfortable because it is stable to drive, and there is a lot of storage. Even with all its perks, you can make travel in a fifth wheel even more comfortable for yourself and your family with a few upgrades. If you are looking for a fifth wheel, visit RV Outfitters of Texas. Our dealership is in Nacogdoches, Texas, serving Lufkin, Texas.

Add a Washer and Dryer

Adding a washer and dryer to your fifth wheel may seem unnecessary. You may not mind going to the laundromat once a week to wash all your laundry in one day.

The thing is, though, there isn't really a lot of space for dirty laundry in a fifth wheel. If you let laundry pile up to do in one day, it can cause disharmony in the space. With nowhere to put dirty clothes, it can cause chaos in your RV. A small space like a fifth wheel requires small loads throughout the week.

Although you may not always be able to access water and electric hookups needed to run the washer and dryer, many RV parks have these hookups. You can swing by one while you are on your journey.

Upgrade to a Tankless Water Heater

For some people, having a 6-gallon water heater is sufficient for bathing in a fifth wheel. However, if you enjoy luxurious showers, a 6-gallon water heater may not be enough. This is especially true if you are traveling with other people.

A tankless water heater allows you to take a long hot shower. It takes a few hours to install. If you choose a propane tankless water heater, you will most likely have to leave the propane on all the time.

Add a Rack for Boating Gear

If you enjoy visiting lakes when you travel in your RV, you may want to install a rack for your kayak or canoe. Although premade racks are expensive, you can build one yourself if you enjoy DIY projects.

Install Suitcase Generators

Instead of using a big generator, you may want to install two suitcase generators. Larger generators tend to be noisy and are very heavy. If you need it to turn on your AC on a hot day or to occasionally use your air fryer, you may find such a large generator to be unnecessary. Suitcase generators are quieter and lighter than a typical generator.

Fifth wheel upgrades can make RV travel much more comfortable whether you're considering adding laundry equipment or extending your ability to haul gear. For more information about fifth wheels, come down to RV Outfitters of Texas located in Nacogdoches. We also welcome Lufkin, Texas customers.
