Like headinsouth, we have both a 5th wheel and a truck camper. The 5th wheel is for our longer stays and the TC is our traveling rig. We alternate summers in the western part of Colorado and Alaska. The last 4 trips to Alaska have been with our Lance 845 TC as we seldom stay more than a night or two at most sites. With the 5th wheel, we tend to stay at campgrounds where we have utilities as we often stay a week or more at a place.
When it rains and we are staying a week, the 5th wheel is so nice with all the extra room. It has a slide room bunk setup, so when the young grandsons go with us, it goes.
When we are moving every day or staying in remote mountain west campgrounds, the TC is the best possible rig for us. Better truck mileage, easier to maneuver, fits in older campgrounds easier, etc.
I don't consider one better than the other, just different uses for each. If I had to give one up, I honestly don't know which would have to go.
