now days with the auto leveling system on 5th wheels there is really no advantage to setiing up camp with a motorhome. still have to unhook your towed to get in a site, actualy I can set up twice as fast as my parents with my 5th wheel.

You must have a truck to move the fiver you do not have to have a toad!
