Generic questions about 5-ers

My in-laws were going to buy a fifth wheel and after a trip my family made to Yellowstone, here is the advice I gave them. My mother in-law is very upiddy, and likes first class service. I told them that I could not see her bouncing down the road in the front seat of a dually, setting up camp, or waiting while the truck and trailer are level, unhooked, slides out, etc for her to do her thing. I think for them, a Diesel pusher made the most sense. Drive down the road in comfort, use the bath, kitchen, whatever while moving. Pull in to a spot, level the MH, slides out, plug in and you are ready. Not to mention onboard generator for boon-docking, etc. For them a car trailer made sense since they have the choice of an SUV or sports car to take with them depending on the destination.

You don't per chance sell diesel pushers on the side?

Why would they bounce down the road in a diesel dually? The new trucks while not early 70's cadillac smooth are really quite plush and comfortable. Even more so when hooked up and towing.

You have to set up camp with either unit and it's really not much different. Both have to be leveled, unhooked and slides out. (you know you can get that on modern 5th wheels, right?) PS: they also can come with onboard generators in the modern world.

If she is that uppity, why would she be making something in the kitchen...sorry that was just a joke, it's a very minor benefit of course but if you are full timing, you don't need to hammer out 12-14hr travel days, so why not stop every couple hours anyway or limit driving days to 2-4hr of travel.
