Why aren't 5th wheelers popular in Australia?
(

(Preview)
After RVing in the USA for 20+ years and seeing all the 5th wheelers over there I wonder why they haven't taken on here? They have lots of benefits over a caravan. Shorter overall length for the same living area and way more stable when towing. So what am I missing?

The other alternative is to down size, and I would be looking at a Jayco...
