We didn't go with a 5th wheel. Over the years we were dead set on a 5th with rear reclining chairs etc. We actually went old school low buck tt but not junk. I guess it was a combination of things that changed our minds.
We wanted an everyday lesser truck 1/2 ton
Small investment to see if its the dream or would we rather spend the winter differently
Wanted access to small tight campgrounds
Wanted more experience hauling/previously had truck campers
Easier storage
Figured we didn't want to sit in it, we mainly need it to camp between stays at family's places
When we do camp we are outside all the time with the dogs on the 9x18 polyethylene mat with dog fence. Like a living room.
I would say if we full timed it would probably be 29 foot or so 5th
Not exactly what you were asking but it may help in some way.
