Regardless of features and options, fifth wheels have followed a traditional pattern over the years. Today’s models are flip-flopping the classic layout in favor of more privacy and flexibility in accommodating owner preferences.
In the past, most fifth wheels were designed with the master bedroom in the raised front area, leaving the rear for the living space. RV manufacturers are now switching it up by placing the bedroom in the rear, with living/lounge areas up front.
Advantages of “Top Level” Lounging
- The updated layout provides more privacy for both those in the master bedroom as well as overnight guests sleeping in the lounge area.
- Placing the master bedroom and bathroom in the back means a more comfortable amount of headroom.
- Living space up front allows for more of a den-like setting that can be customized with a wide variety of entertainment options.
- Upper-level lounges/living rooms create more differentiation of spaces. People can visit in the dining/kitchen area without interruption from those who are engaged in watching sports or movies.
Fifth wheels have also been incorporating more sophisticated entertainment options. Current models are outfitted with features such as WiFi-enabled big-screen TVs, theater-style seats with built-in heaters and massagers, and surround-sound stereo.
