New: Sunliner Fifth-Wheeler

Caravan or fifth-wheeler? This is a question faced by some caravan buyers as they weigh up the pros and cons of all types of RVs, camper trailers and traditional caravans in making that all-important purchase decision. Fifth-wheelers are extremely popular in the US leisure and RV market but the traditional caravan dominates the Australian leisure vehicle market. To tempt more Aussies to consider a fifth wheeler, Sunliner is due to launch a new luxury model - the Houston.

For those unsure of the difference between a fifth wheeler and a caravan: a caravan is towed by the vehicle by hitching to the towing mechanism. A fifth wheeler attaches via a turntable or hitch which is over the rear of the vehicle, usually a ute style vehicle. The turntable is seen as resembling a wheel, hence the name fifth wheeler.

So the purchase decision may be determined by your towing vehicle or, as with decisions around caravan or camper trailer and many other decisions, it could come down to personal preference. Whichever RV you decided to buy, be assured that Jade Caravan Finance loans are for all types of caravans, RVs, fifth wheelers, camper trailers and campervans.

There are a number of Australian caravan manufacturers that include fifth wheelers in their range including Sunline. They have offered the Northshore for many years but now add to that with the Houston.

Sunliner Houston

According to Sunliner, the new Houston has been designed to suit conditions in Australia and has a lighter weight to suit towing by many popular utes such as the HiLux, Ranger and Navara. It is a luxury vehicle, available in around 6 different layouts and has an impressive list of specs and inclusions.

Sunliner appear to have covered off on all the essentials in the Houston including a reversing camera, climate control, entertainment systems, two 9kg gas bottles, two 110 litre fresh water tanks, two 110 litre waste tanks and safety features. Features include extra storage with drawers cleverly included under seating, floor to ceiling pantry and an external table.
