My only experience with owning RV's is Class A motor homes. As we look to part time next year (3-6 mos at a time) I am looking at new MH's. But I am curious about fifth wheels. They certainly offer mo...

You answered most of the points I was going to make. We have a fifth wheel and need a truck outside of RV life so that made sense. If it comes down to a trailer sitting not being used vs a Motor home sitting around not being used, then the answer is fairly easy.
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.
I guess it just depends on the lifestyle you want, your budget, and your needs outside of using the RV.
Good Luck
“Drive down the road in comfort ..”, “ I told them that I could not see her bouncing down the road in the front seat of a dually” WOW! I read recently that the 2020 RAM pick up was voted the “best luxury CAR for 2020”! Perhaps they should read that before bouncing down the road in a pickup!
