But why? You can get a fifth wheel layout in a regular TT and it does away with the stairs.
I'm interested in full-time living and at the larger sizes the bumper-pull trailers seem to have a more limited selection of layouts. For example, I toured a fifth wheel at an RV show that had a second bedroom and above it was also a loft. It was an impressive (and large and expensive) layout. I haven't seen one of those in a bumper-pull, but maybe they are out there. Bumper-pull trailers also seem to be more limited in which ones have a W/D hookup, although I have seen a few with that feature. I think I've also seen a few fifth wheels with ceiling fans, but not bumper-pull trailers (except a few park models which is bigger than I want).
To tow with a properly rated vehicle you will need a truck to pull most 5th wheels. So the dolly is just pointless. You aren't going to pull a 12k 5th wheel with a Tahoe
As I mentioned in the original post it interests me for use with a truck to free up the truck bed. So the dolly is not pointless; that's an important point. And I have no plans to buy an SUV. If I did this it would be with a big truck.
