Why are fifth wheels more expensive than travel trailers?
From what I've seen on line, they appear to be more solid and are often a little nicer. Is that why? I can't really tell, for certain, based on pictures.

Do travel trailers fall into disrepair more quickly since the construction is different?
No. What matters most is if the owner is vigilant about performing routine maintenance (walking and caulking the roof 4x a year, etc) If a TT owner doesn't maintain their TT, it will fall apart. Same thing goes for the 5th Wheel.
By the way, some Travel Trailers build quality and construction could easily rival $500,000 motorhomes, in technique and materials used. Lance and Northwoods Manufacturing are 2 that come to mind as far as Travel Trailers go.
