5th Wheel rental truck?

[Betsyp]

Has anyone rented a truck to tow a 5th wheel camper without hiring a driver? I’m searching truck rentals for one that has a 5th wheel hitch but I’m going around in circles!:

I have looked for that myself, in the past, because my truck is old and I'm not certain it's up for the job of towing a 5th wheel anymore. But I don't think any rental companies allow you to tow a pull-behind RV, let alone a 5th wheel. If you find a company that rents out trucks with 5th wheel hitches, please post here about it. I'd love to have that option.

Wow--this looks like it might be an option for me. I'd have to get a 5th wheel-to-gooseneck adapter, but that's certainly cheaper than getting a whole new truck. Thank you so much!

I would call the Enterprise truck rental center near your location. Most of the Ford and Ram dually trucks will have the fifth wheel, goose neck prep package. Make sure when you reserve the truck that they understand you need the prep package.

Wow--thanks so much to you, too. I had no idea this was an option.

You will need to check with Enterprise. The Enterprise web site says max conventional towing weight of 10,000 lbs even though the 350/3500 trucks are rated for considerably more than that. It doesn't state the same limit for gooseneck towing buy they may derate that also.

Yes, that's a good point. I would definitely check first, before making plans.

Thank you for this. I would be sure to check first, before making solid plans, but this information looks very promising.

You might want to also make sure Enterprise is referring to an in bed gooseneck as opposed to a bumper pull gooseneck. You never say what kind or how big your 5th wheel rig is?
