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...

I had my heart set on a 5th wheel, and my hub wanted a bumper pull. After he walked me through how much "stuff" we wouldn't be able to take IN the bed of the truck if we had a 5th wheel hitch installed I saw the light.
The canopy/bed area of our truck is FULL when we pull out... sans the nickname "The Dung Beetles". We own a lot of ....... ummmmmm... STUFF :R and we take most of it with us when we go camping....LOL
Couldn't you load all the "stuff" inside the TT?
Better yet in the basement of the 5er! Then you don't need to spend a day getting ready to go and loading the stuff in the bed of the truck!
We keep all "That Stuff" in the 5ers basement, and can take as little as 30 to 60 minutes to be on the road, if we decide on an instant. trip.
You can't beat the inherit stability of a 5er! When the force from the trailer is acting at a point directly above or a few inches forward of the rear axle, in stead of 3' to 4' behind it 5er wins handling hands down!
