Why did you go with a 5th wheel?
We are a first time RV buyer and are weighing some of the options. We started our quest for an RV thinking that we would buy a TT, but now we are open to 5th wheels, as they have been suggested to us...

We started searching for our first unit just as you are two years ago expecting to buy a TT. After talking with many RVers and the great help from this forum we went with a fifth wheel. We traded our 1500 for a 350 and purchased the trailer in our SIG last August and couldn't be happier. Yes, it is big but we did not want to be like many who after a year realize they bought the wrong unit for their family. When pjlli v the fiver I have to remind myself it is back there. Very smooth and easy towing. Took several months to get used to backing this big of a trailer but now its a piece of cake. In the end j got the truck I've always wanted and the wife has her home away from home she dreamed of. Good luck.
How big? What model 5er did you buy?
We purchased a 2013 Forest River Sandpiper 366FL from Dandy RV in Oxford, AL. It is 40' wth four slides, scales out at 12600 lbs so a 1 ton truck is needed. It has the front living room with opposing slides which my two teenagers love. They pull out the beds from the couches and this becomes their room at night. During the day we have a ton of room with seperate areas for the kitchen and living room, no one is in each others way.
