5th wheeling, any regrets????
Hi All! We are exploring our options when I retire in January. One of them, the one I am most geeked about is purchasing a fifth wheel rig. We have a park home that we can summer in in Homer Mich...

We bought a couple of small 5ers (21 foot then 26 ft) and now are up to a 34 foot 5er. The small ones helped us to decide if we liked 1) RVing for more than a few weeks and 2) whether we could handle the steps. I have a left knee that is almost totally eaten up with arthritis. I don't run in and out of the 5er a lot, I'm careful with how I step down and climb the stairs. We sold our home last fall and are now full-timing and can't imagine going back to a stick built house in time in the near future!!!!
I say buy a used one.....mainly because you have no idea until you live in a couple of rigs what floor plan you may find good for YOU. Buy cheaply but wisely (have it checked out first) and give it a spin. We sold the 1st 21 footer for more than we bought it for......and plan on doing that with the 2nd. (course, at $3000. purchase price, we weren't in for a big loss either).
Happy travels!
