5th wheel weights and trucks to tow?????
I'm sure i'm about to ask the million $ question, not the question worth a million but the one asked a million times. Looking at buying a 5th wheel for full timing, narrowed down to mobile suites ...

There are pro's and con's to any truck. The HDT's are nice and since I drive one for work it would be an easy fit for me. A empty 53' van trailer weights 14-17,000# so it's a natural fit for a HDT. On the other hand, it's easier to run around town and "climb" into a pickup based truck. I've seen a couple F650's set up as RV haulers that I really like. Seen some sweet MDT's that could be an nice option. Dollar for dollar the HDT RV hauler can be a great value. A lot also depends on the laws/rules of your state. Special license requirements and insurance costs can also be a major concern.
Really need to look at your needs and see what fits.
