Excuse me for the interruption, but a tow behind has more cargo room. It has the whole unencumbered bed of the truck as high as you care to go. Anyone with bikes realizes this right off the get go.

Not really, you still have the TV GVWR to deal with! That and the fact that the stuff you load into the bed or canopy is in and out for every trip, with a 5er much of that can be stored in the 5er basement all the time between trips quicker to go, less packing.
I will say I have see many TT, come into the park with about six or more bikes in the bed!

Let's see you load two motorcycles or a golf cart in your front compartment. One ton has enough weight capacity for this and a TT.

It simply boils down to personal preference. I own both a 5er TH and a TT. To me the most important thing is the floor plan. I spend a lot more time living in it then I do pulling it around.
