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.
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.
You forgot to factor in the time and effort to disconnect and connect the toad behind your Class A.
