Why a 5th wheel over a tow trailer?

The you can't use the TV bed is so lame it laughable!
Most 5ers have large to huge basements more than making up for the loss of space above the bed rails.
It also means that packing is quicker as the stuff one normally needs to pack into the back of the TV, is likely already in the basement of the 5er! :B
Bikes more than two you can use bike racks front and rear on a 5er.
Ours is always repacked AFTER the previous trip, cloths washed and returned to the 5er, propane tanks filled. Our storage yard is about 4 miles from home, and home is about 4 miles from work. We have a best time after a Friday morning decision to go out for the weekend, of one hour and fifteen minutes from me leaving work to having installing the hitch and airing up the rear tires, food from home refer in tote and getting the two dogs loaded, 5er hooked up at storage yard, and heading out the gate.

UH. I carry TEN / 10 bikes with me. No they won't fit on the front, and rear of a 5er. they will in the bed of the truck

I also carry fire wood, and no I won't load it inside the camper, or in the basement of the camper. So I do need the truck bed.

But still for me it is the steps
