Short bed fiver

A few days ago I wrote about what I took to be an older model Prowler fifth wheel. Using an older design this fiver was small and light enough to be towed by a short bed half ton pickup. Well here’s a modern fifth wheel design that accomplishes the same thing.

R-Vision has just announced a new Max-Lite model fiver, featuring a V-shaped rounded nose that, according to the company, reduces wind resistance and increases interior space. In its smaller floorplans the Max-Lite should be towable with a half ton truck. But you’ll want to check your pickup’s weight ratings before you tow one of these off the lot.
