X Full Timer---5th Wheel Virgin
Full timed in a 33 travel Trailer for three years. Hated towing that thing even with my Dodge 3500. Found the road is calling me again... Bought a 2011 F250 Crew Cab 4x4, 8' Bed. Truck was a goose ...

A F250 is going to limit you a lot in fivers. Keep the loaded or GVWR of a fiver under about 11,000 pounds. As for gooseneck hitches? Lots and lots of posts on this subject. Bottom line, not a good idea. Lots of broken frames from the extra stress placed on the frame.
I agree, believe OP will need to check the weight on the 42' 5er and as far as GN versus 5er hitch...I believe the best thing to avoid all the "heated debate" at times, is to call the manufacturer to see what the people that manufactured the 5er say about it and what their warranty recommends. Get it straight from the horses mouth:)
