Setting up a 5th wheel is more work than a class A. Just hitching and unhitching is more work. Class A offers push button convenience a 5th wheel requires a bit more interaction than just pushing a button. In and out of the truck to back up/pull forward etc. when hitching. Raise gate lower gate, There is just more to do.
Now you can level your 5er with a push of a button just like your MH and I can hook and unhook as fast as you can do your toad. I have had both and the only advantage to a MH now is wife using bathroom with out stopping but at my age now I need to stop and walk a little. Upside for 5er is more usable space, two recliners instead of two sofas and no strained neck looking sideways from the sofa to the tv. I loved my MH until I got the 5er. Never will go back to MH now. I tow a 37ft with my F250 single rear wheel. Lots of miles and no problems.","body@stripHtml({\"removeProcessingText\":false,\"removeSpoilerMarkup\":false,\"removeTocMarkup\":false,\"truncateLength\":200})@stringLength":"203","kudosSumWeight":0,"repliesCount":0,"postTime":"2019-07-28T08:44:00.000-07:00","lastPublishTime":"2019-07-28T08:44:00.000-07:00","metrics":{"__typename":"MessageMetrics","views":451},"visibilityScope":"PUBLIC","placeholder":false,"originalMessageForPlaceholder":null,"isEscalated":null,"solution":false,"entityType":"FORUM_REPLY","eventPath":"grouphub:FifthWheel/category:TRAVELCENTER/community:feyqc97479board:FifthWheelforum-board/message:3200982/message:3201015","replies":{"__typename":"MessageConnection","pageInfo":{"__typename":"PageInfo","hasNextPage":false,"endCursor":null,"hasPreviousPage":false,"startCursor":null},"edges":[]},"readOnly":false,"editFrozen":false,"body@stringLength":"1322","rawBody":"

Regarding the hitch, I don't know many people who disconnect the hitch from the truck bed. Most just leave the hitch in the bed and carry it around.
To disconnect the trailer, You chock the tires on the trailer (both sides!), put down front jacks and raise trailer until pin is the correct height to pull out, pull lever on the hitch, make sure your trailer is at the right height and the tailgate is down (unless you have a V notch tailgate) and then pull the truck out from under the trailer.
After you pull the truck out, then is the time to level front to back using the front jack legs. When you get the trailer level front to back, then put down your corner stabilizers and finish hooking up everything. :)

While I consider a 5th wheel to be more work and less convenient than a motorhome. A 5th wheel provides equal amounts of space to a class A and cost a lot less. A 5th wheels gives you more bang for the buck. The downside is 5'er is not as user friendly as a motorhome.
I have a Class A now and was wondering about this very issue. How much more work is it to set up a 5th wheel? Is leveling a chore? Is a 5th wheel still cheaper if you have to buy a new truck to tow it? One distinct advantage I see is if you get a small enough 5th wheel(28 ft or less) that can be towed with a SRW truck you can always use it for a second vehicle.
Well, it seems like most Class A motorhomes are towing a car to drive around when parked, so you're looking at two vehicles anyway...much of the time anyway.
As far as leveling, it's definitely not going to be as quick as a 6-point or 4 point leveling system. But it doesn't really take that long. I pull into the spot I'm going park, if not level side-to-sied, then I put down a block or two, then pull on to them and chock the wheels. Drop the front stabilizers, unhook the truck and level front-to-back. Hooking up power, water, and sewer is basically the same.
If you have to level side to side do you just use the rear scissor jacks or do front jacks(stabilizers) need adjusting also?
