Buying fifth wheel
I need advice on whether to purchase a fifth wheel as my first camper. My son (25yrs old) and I have never pulled a camper before. I have gotten some great advice as to not buy a TT for my first camp...

Ditto - We started out with a 32' 5th wheel and 3/4 ton diesel truck. Just traded for a 1 ton dually in anticipation of getting a bigger 5th in the next year or two. After having a dually, I wouldn't have anything less than a 1 ton dually for a 5th wheel 30' or bigger. The 3/4 ton handled our trailer just fine but the dually gives you alot more stability and the option of a bigger trailer in a few years without having to trade trucks. It takes alot of $$$$ to upgrade the trailer and tow vehicle at the same time.
Nice to be ahead of the game! Too many upgrade the RV and make excuses or try to make the TV work, then they get in trouble.
A proper TV means a very relaxed towing experience. It really is stressful towing something that is too much for the TV, I know from experience.
