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'm 6'4" and couldn't feel comfortable in any fifth wheel bedroom/bath. Anytime I stood up straight I hit a light fixture. While the main living area is nice and high, I couldn't deal with crouching whenever I went to the bedroom/bath. That's why I ended up with a motor home. How does your husband not feel "crushed" in the bedroom/bath?
To answer the OP's question, it came down to ease of towing. A fifth wheel is so much easier to live with on the highway than a bumper hitch. I'll never go back.
