5th wheel vs. MH advice

Hi All,

We currently have a 30 ft. travel trailer which we do love but are getting to the point of upgrading. At this point we are looking for something with a little more room, self-leveling, easier set-up, more stability, etc.

We are looking at buying a new truck and then a 5th wheel and we start thinking that we could probably buy a Class C and a small SUV to tow for about the same price as a truck and 5th wheel depending on options, model, etc.

I always envisioned myself with a 5th wheel but I thought I would reach out and see why all of you prefer a 5th wheel over a MH.

Thanks in advance!

Lots of pros and cons posted.

Often - the *BEST* RV.....is the one you have!

You are in CA. To "switch" means tossing a bunch of money in the air!

Huh? Unlike "mtofell1" in Oregon (zero sales tax), *YOU* will pay approx ten percent (10%) in sales tax to CA for whatever you purchase!

Could be an expensive proposition, or a *VERY* expensive proposition - depending on what you buy.
No "resale value" for/on sales tax!!..:W
