When choosing an RV for touring Australia - the options are normally caravan, motorhome or 5th wheeler. This article compares each against the other across all relevant topics.

What are we comparing?

For the purposes of comparison we will consider a unit that provides an internal length of about 19 feet with a shower and toilet which equates to a 21 ft caravan or a 20 foot 5th wheeler or a 22 to 24 ft motorhome.

The caravan will have a total weight of around 2100g and a ball weight of around 210g when loaded. Even though conventional sedans have sufficient tow rating to handle a van of this size, with this magnitude of ball weight, a four wheel drive will be required for towing. The total length of the combination will be around 13 metres.

A Venture Model 600 5th wheeler will have a tare weight of 1670 kg and will probably weigh around 2100 kg when loaded and with liquid in the tanks. The load carried on the hitch when fully loaded will be around 350 kg. Using a Falcon BA ute as a tow vehicle the load rating is 750 kg and the tow rating 2300 kg so it will comfortably handle the 5th wheeler. The total length of the combination will be 10.5 metres.

The motorhome will have a total weight around 4000 kg when loaded and with liquid in the tanks. The total length of the vehicle will be around 7 metres.
