What is the set up like for a 5th Wheel now? When I was a kid it was similar to a TT. I am guessing that they have self leveling jacks now and no longer require a bucket of blocks, chocks and jacks.
One of the things we love about our Class A is the set up. If we pull into the campground and its raining, we don't have to get out. We can set up from inside and last fro about a week before we have to go outside. That's hard to beat.
I'm pretty sure I could not last for a week without going outside to hook up water, sewer and electric. Maybe a few days working off our holding and fresh water tanks but we don't have a generator so have to have electric.
We sold a 39' dp in 2012 we had for 7 years to get what we have now. There are advantages to motorhomes and fifth wheels that has been argued ad nauseum. In dry weather I feel it is a wash for set up with our auto level. I am actually quite a bit quicker at hooking up the fiver than I was our toad behind the motorhome. For us it simply boiled down to cost. You can get a pretty good set up with a truck and fifth wheel for quite a bit less than many of the new diesel pushers for the most part.
