Help! Looking for Quality 5th Wheel 4 Full Time Living

I am looking to buy a quality 5th wheel that I will use to live in full time. I am looking to buy new. I have been a few places and everyone tells me that the brand they sell is the best, everybody else's RV's/5th Wheels are crap. Trying to cut through all the hype and hear from peoples real world experience.

Can you tell me your experience with your 5th wheel and what your opinion is the best high quality 5th wheel currently on the market.

So far I am personally liking the Evergreen Bay Hill FL379 and the Grand Design Solitude 375RE.

Thanks in advance.

    Thanks for the reply donn0128 . You were a lot of help.

    Moving on... I should mention this is for one person and the rig will remain stationary most of the time.

    For true full time units, you need to step up to Life Style, Excel, Mobile/Elite Suites, New Horizons, Custom Coach or Spacecraft.

    Getting into a full-time 5er, you will need a 1 ton diesel dually as a minimum. Some will require a MDT or medium duty truck. Forget about pulling a full time 5er with a single rear wheel truck.

    We have a NuWa HitchHiker Champagne and love it, but they are no longer in production.

    You will get as many opinions as posts. If that's what you like buy it. It ain't our money.
