Interior Height of 5th Wheels v. Motorhomes
(Preview)
In reading posts on this forum and others, many people indicate that 5th wheels have more space than motorhomes. Does the interior height of a 5th wheel differ from the interior height of a motorhome? If so, how is this accomplished? Is there less under carriage storage space in a 5th wheel?
