Depends upon how you want to use the bed of your truck. It sure is NICE having a truck bed shell with those side panels on both side, and each panel has 2 shelves to store stuff, which still leave the entire bed of the truck free for other things. Not to mention the ladder rack on the top for hauling the canoe.
One other thought? What will you be using the truck for when not towing the 5er? If you use your truck (like I do, for hauling just about everything), you might not want the 5er hitch in your bed.
Great post until the last part- "you might not want the 5er hitch in your bed":

You'd never know I have a fifth wheel with a clear bed like that. Even better, even without the right tools - it was less than 10 minutes from hitch in to empty bed.
But, I don't have bed space for my bikes and can't easily carry anything on top of the truck (i.e. 14'-17' kayaks) without having a goal post out front (which my wife won't allow).
