We just went from 12 years in TT to a fifth wheel. Some pros and cons. My husband says no sway even in bad wind and rain with the 5th wheel. We prefer more storage underneath than more space in truck bed. He still thinks it is harder backing up the 5th wheel than the TT. You have to be more careful to watch for low hanging trees and bridges in 5th. One thing I never hear anyone talk about - it is harder for me (I am only 5'3") to reach in the cabinets in the 5th wheel because the cabinets are higher. I am constantly having to get up on a small stool. More stairs in the 5th. The 5th feels much bigger because of the taller ceilings. More movement in the 5th wheel when walking around. Don't have to carry heavy sway bars and ball with a fifth when unhooking and hooking. Have to really concentrate when connecting with a fifth so you don't drop your 5th and ruin your truck. Some food for thought what things are important to you.
