Do you already have a tow vehicle or is this another purchase?
This is important as attempting to tow a 36+ foot fiver means your encroaching on dually terratory.
So lets start with the premise you do not have a truck. Buy a dually and them pick almost any fiver you like.
Buy a 3500SRW and you start to limit yourself to sizes 36 feet and under.
Pick a 2500 and limit yourself to 33 feet and under. These of course are general numbers and can vary widely based on which fifth wheel you want.
BTW class A MHs by far will have more storage. Fifth wheels will have more living space for a given length but less storage.
