Why did you choose a 5th wheel

I've spent some time reading thru the pages, and like many here the DW and I plan to retire by the end of next year and are planning to travel three to four months at a time. We're looking at Class A's but also 5th wheels. DW likes the space better in 5'rs. I'm trying to put the plusses and minus's of both. Lot's to love about both.
I'm looking at the maintenance of one over the other, gas mileage while traveling, quality of an A versus 5'r etc.

I guess what made you choose a 5th wheel over an A or C, and would you make the same decision again.

Thanks for the assistance.

Happy camping.

Posting without reading ahead...

1. I didn't want another vehicle that would get very little use and have to be maintained, then have to tow my daily.
2. I was without a pickup and having withdrawals, so it was an excuse to get another truck.
3. I'd towed enough BP trailers as well as a utility GN and I knew I didn't want to mess with a BP trailer.
4. Storage is almost always greater on a FW.

My top 4...
