I need a large 5th wheel but am I looking too large?

Hello, I am new to this community so first I want to thank you guys for using the years of experience you have to help newbies like me out. Anyway, I am planning to go full time RV with my family....

Length in AZ is 65' from front bumper to center of rear axle. OAL length is 75' as you are allowed 10' of "overhang" from the rear axle.

IMO, the OP needs a medium duty truck, like an M2 Freightliner, or larger, if he wants to get into a FW that large. Frankly, I'd say he needs to get 2 rigs and let the 16 y.o. tow a small TT with a half-ton and a larger FW for he and the wife. :B
