Back Up Your Camper

Backing up a towable camper can take extra space, time, and effort. Be prepared to make this investment to stay safe and comfortable when camping with your fifth wheel. You will want to choose a big-enough spot to park your model so that you have sufficient space to maneuver it safely. Typically, towable campers move in the opposite direction of the towing vehicle’s steering wheel. Keep this in mind and let your model angle itself naturally when backing it up.

Level Your Fifth Wheel

Next, you will want to start leveling your fifth wheel after exiting it. Check whether your camper features manual levels or automatic, and then try to do it correctly the first time.

If your fifth wheel uses an automatic leveling feature, push the “Auto” button. However, if it levels manually, you will need to use your bubble level instead. No matter which level type your fifth wheel uses, you want to ensure that you have even ground to park your RV.

Disconnect From Truck

Once this is done, you want to detach your pickup truck from your fifth wheel camper and use it to visit tourist attractions in your vicinity or buy groceries from a nearby store. When unhitching your RV, you should pay attention to the attachment and remove the hitch properly. Otherwise, you might damage any critical components and cause your model to malfunction.
