Large 5th Wheel Caravan UK – The UK’s Leading American 5th Wheel Specialist

At American Caravans Ltd, we specialise exclusively in American-built 5th wheel caravans — supplying customers nationwide with premium models prepared for UK roads and touring.

We are not a general caravan dealer.
We are a dedicated Large 5th wheel specialist serving the entire UK market.

A 5th wheel caravan connects to a specialist hitch mounted in the bed of a pickup truck rather than a rear tow bar. This design:

• Dramatically improves towing stability

• Reduces sway at motorway speeds

• Distributes weight more safely

• Allows for larger multi-level interior layouts

• Creates true residential-style living space

This is why 5th wheels are the preferred choice for serious touring, seasonal pitching, and long-term travel across the UK and Europe.

The global leaders in Large 5th wheel manufacturing include:

• Forest River

• Keystone RV

• Grand Design RV

• East to West

These manufacturers build large-scale luxury touring units designed for full-time living — something most UK caravans are not built for.

Features often include:

• Multiple slide-outs

• King-size master suites

• Residential kitchens with full appliances

• Large walk-in showers

• Central heating and advanced insulation

• Separate lounge and dining areas

No conventional touring caravan offers this level of space.

Here’s what separates us:

1. Specialist Focus

We focus on American caravans and 5th wheels — not standard UK tourers. That depth of specialism matters.

2. Direct Import Experience

With decades of combined industry experience, we import directly from the USA and prepare units for UK compliance and touring requirements.

3. Nationwide Supply

We supply customers across:

• England

• Scotland

• Wales

Buyers regularly travel long distances because true 5th wheel expertise in the UK is limited.

4. Technical Knowledge

We advise on:

• Pickup compatibility

• Fifth wheel hitch systems

• Weight compliance

• Setup requirements

• Aftercare and parts

That technical authority helps both customers — and search engines — trust the page.

We stock both:

• New American 5th wheel caravans

• High-spec used imports

• Luxury multi-slide models

• Touring-ready family layouts
