No regrets. The living space in the fifth is far superior.
Really.... far superior? Care to explain?

I think the comment is correct provided you get the correct 5er. The bunk models like ours and most of the toy haulers have terrible layouts for living and kitchen. DW wanted the bunk so the DGBs could come with us. Want to guess how many times that has happened?
I don't understand. Are you saying that mh's don't have bunk models?

They all have bunk models. Just because Class A's shove some bunks between the living and bedroom or over the cab doesn't mean they are functionally equivalent to what you can find in tow able. They aren't even close.
There are a much wider selection of floorplans and options. No question about it. In addition, the floor plans tend to offer more functional and specialized options such as larger residential style kitchens, large master baths, two full bedrooms etc all the while not sacrificing as much as you would in a class a. In many cases you can get most or all of these options and more.
There aren't many rear kitchens in class a, or living rooms that rival front living fifths or two full bedrooms with functional kitchens and living areas that don't look like they came out of a class c etc
Usually when a class A does something special like that it causes the rest of the floor plan to suffer. Add a second bedroom in the back and now your living and kitchen look like they came out of a shorter gasser or class C. Being forced to retain the drivers area and windshield put Class A's at a distinct disadvantage to design options. Fivers and travel trailers have no such requirement so they are not forced to incorporate that space or write it off should they want the living room to be anywhere but right in front.
You see a couple of class a floors, you've seen 95% of them all. Not so much with fifth wheels and other tow behind units. There really is no comparison in floor plan diversity and options between the two.
