Check your vehicle's manual to see whether it can handle a fifth-wheel camper. Some fifth-wheel campers require a four-wheel drive vehicle or a large truck.
Unscrew the ball hitch from your vehicle and slowly back it up so that it lines up with the front of the camper. The vehicle's tow hitch should be right under the camper's front hitch.
Drop the camper slowly onto the vehicle's tow hitch.
Place the ball hitch into the hole and screw the bolt back on.
Start your vehicle engine and slowly pull out.
Take wide turns and stay in the right-hand lane as much as possible.
Practice towing the fifth-wheel camper on empty roads as much as possible before driving in traffic.
Follow the speed limit. Start braking sooner than you would normally brake. Do not brake suddenly because it could cause the trailer to sway, skid, or slide around.
Use your turn signal early and allow yourself lots of room when you are changing lanes.
Park only on flat roads to avoid having the trailer pull or push your vehicle.
