TT toy hauler vs 5th wheel toy hauler
I'm looking at toy haulers and would like comments on TT vs 5'ver. I see pluses and minuses on both, want to stay under 35' if possible. My TV is 2500 Dodge cummins. I've read through this forum...

Generally speaking 5ers tend to be taller, and have greater ground clearance, but their ramps also tend to be steeper. There is a plus to the TT with a bike, many have issues with steeper ramps and backing down (or at least a fear of backing down).
5ers tend to have larger tanks, so do compare - but as you note you won't be doing a lot of dry camping so this may not be a big issue for you.
If you get the right hitch, like a Hensley, you really won't find any towing difference between a TT with good hitch and a 5er.
The big plus to a TT is it's all one level, no step up to the bedroom, but you also lose the storage that comes with that step up too.
Personally I found towing my 39' Raptor so much easier then with our 28' TT. But if I'd found a comparable 5er and TT I'd be hard pressed to decide.
