5th wheel vs. motorhome

We have had both, first I want to say for us it is about the floor plan! Motor home is nice,and towing a run about is absolutley necessary! Your not going to unhook the Coach and drive it down the the local store to pick up a few items. Hitching and unhitching the toad vs 5th wheel is a wash, however, I remember having to move around several times to get the toad and motor home lined up! Now not mentioned yet is the toad itself, you can not just hook up the family car and go, you have to have a specific vehicle then you need to add a braking system, ($2K or so), a hitch and it will be a vehicle that you probably not use in your day to day driving, only when camping! Plan at least for a good 30% of the cost for the motor home to be for its drive train! Now if you have an unlimited amount of money look at the class A motor home, if not IMHO you get a lot more RV in a 5th wheel than a Motor Home.
