Highland Ridge and Open Range Travel Trailers are perfect for those looking for a versatile, towable option. They’re typically smaller and lighter than fifth wheels, making them easier to maneuver on tight roads and in smaller campgrounds. If you’re a first-time RVer or prefer a simpler setup, a travel trailer could be the right choice.

Fifth Wheels: Luxury and Comfort for the Long Haul

Open Range Fifth Wheels offer a roomier, more luxurious alternative to travel trailers. Ideal for those of you who want more space for longer trips or full-time RVing, our fifth wheels come with high-end amenities like stainless steel appliances, arched ceilings and upgraded heating systems. Plus, they offer better stability when towing.

• Key Features: Larger living spaces, increased towing stability, ideal for full-time RVers or extended trips.

1. What should I consider when buying an RV for the first time?

When buying your first RV, it’s important to think about how you’ll be using it. Will you be taking weekend trips, or are you looking for something suitable for extended travel? Consider the size of your group, your towing vehicle and the types of campgrounds you plan to visit.

Smaller travel trailers are great for first-time RVers because they’re easier to tow and park, while fifth wheels offer more space and comfort for longer stays. Budget, maintenance and how often you’ll be on the road are also key factors to keep in mind.

2. How do I know which RV type is right for me?

Choosing the right RV depends on your lifestyle and travel needs. Travel trailers are lightweight, easy to tow and work well for weekend trips or short getaways. Fifth wheels offer more living space, better stability while towing and are  the preferred choice for those who plan to go full-time or stay in one place for longer periods.

If you need more space for family or enjoy luxury camping, a fifth wheel could be your best option. If you’re looking for flexibility and easier handling, a travel trailer might be right for you.

3. How much maintenance does an RV require?

Routine maintenance is key to keeping your RV in good condition. This includes checking the seals and roof for leaks, ensuring the tires are properly inflated and servicing your appliances regularly. For motorized RVs, engine maintenance is also important. Fifth wheels and travel trailers have less mechanical upkeep but still require regular attention, especially to the roof, plumbing and electrical systems. With consistent care, your RV will stay in great shape for years to come.

4. What’s the difference between dry weight and gross vehicle weight (GVWR)?

Dry weight is the weight of the RV without any cargo, passengers or fluids, such as water or propane. It’s the base weight of the RV as it comes from the manufacturer. Gross vehicle weight rating (GVWR) is the maximum allowable weight of the RV when fully loaded with cargo, fluids and passengers. It’s important to understand both terms when matching your RV with the appropriate towing vehicle, ensuring you stay within safe towing limits.

6. What kind of towing vehicle do I need for a fifth wheel or travel trailer?

The towing vehicle you need depends on the weight and size of the RV. Many SUVs or mid-size trucks with a suitable tow package can handle smaller travel trailers. Fifth wheels are typically heavier and require a larger truck with a fifth wheel hitch mounted in the bed. It’s essential to know your vehicle’s towing capacity and match it to the gross vehicle weight rating (GVWR) of the RV to ensure safe and efficient towing.

7. Can I live full-time in an RV?

Many people choose to live full-time in an RV. When considering this lifestyle, it’s important to choose a model that’s built for long-term durability and comfort. Look for features like upgraded insulation, reliable heating and cooling systems and plenty of storage. Highland Ridge offers several models that are well-suited for full-time RV living, providing the space, comfort and durability you’ll need for extended stays on the road. Not all Highland Ridge RVs are warrantied for full-time RVing. Please reach out to your local dealer and confirm that the unit you are shopping for is meant for your intended usage.

8. What are the benefits of RV solar packages?

RV solar packages allow you to power essential appliances like your refrigerator and lights without relying on a traditional power source. This is especially useful if you enjoy boondocking or camping off-grid. Solar energy reduces the need for generators, is environmentally friendly and provides an extra layer of convenience when you’re camping in more remote areas. Highland Ridge RVs come fully prepped for solar, with options to add solar packages or equipped standard with them. Our Xtend Solar Power Management Systems make off-grid camping easier by providing power through advanced solar setups, including up to 400 watts of solar panels and a 30-amp controller, depending on the model. This means you’ll have everything needed to camp without hookups, keeping your lights, appliances, and essentials running smoothly on the road.

9. Are RVs difficult to tow?

Towing an RV takes a bit of practice, but with the right equipment and setup, it can become second nature. Smaller travel trailers are generally easier to tow, especially for first-time RVers, while fifth wheels provide more stability when towing but require a larger truck. The key is to know your vehicle’s towing capacity and make sure your RV’s weight falls within that limit. We also recommend practicing turns, stops and parking in open spaces before hitting the road.
