5th Wheel vs Class C
Has anyone out there switched from a Class C to a 5th wheel? We bought our 1st RV & made the mistake of buying one too small. Guess it's a common one but don't want to lose a lot more money. Went...

We switched from a 29' class C towing a CRV to an F350 towing a 36' 5th wheel. There is no question that we are far more comfortable in our 5th wheel. Bigger kitchen, bigger bathroom and a shower as large as the one in the house. We tend to go somewhere and stay for up to a week then move on to another spot. We're not full timers yet but spend a couple weeks a year in our rig and many long weekends away. I like the way the 5th wheel tows and I've found my truck to be more comfortable to drive as the slide in our C was right behind the drivers seat limiting its adjustability. If getting gas now is uncomfortable then the 5th wheel and truck won't be any easier unless you drive short distances and setup for the night and take the truck back out for fuel. The other option here would be to get a transfer flow tank that sits in the bed of the truck which would allow you to carry quite a bit more fuel reducing your need to stop as often. You can also fuel up at truck stops which have a lot more room.
In short we really like our current setup and it works well for us. If there are other full timers in your park check with them to see what they think. One other option would be going to an A.
Good luck.
Very well put. Add to that automatic leveling, king size bed, walk-in closet with washer/dryer hookup and a large kitchen area plus if fueling up is a issue, go with a diesel TV and just follow the truckers through the pumps.
