We've owned both.....though we prefer the 5er for the both of us because of the roominess, for you I'm thinking a Class A is best. It DOES take two of us to hook up the rig. :) I don't agree that hooking up the car is as much work as hooking up a car. You can move the hitch around to fit on the RV...whereas, the 5er requires you to be dang near accurate for hitching...while going backwards!!!!!
I can connect/disconnect my toad in less than 3 minutes...by my self. Connect the two arms, umbilical cable, and breakaway cable and I'm done. The car doesn't even have to be straight or a definite distance from the mh.
Leveling on a Class A is done from inside. A single push of a button and down they go. Another push of the button and the slides go out. And another push of a button and the Sat antenna goes up. Connecting outside utilities is the same procedure as is any other rv.
During bad weather you better believe I'm glad I have a class A.
However, if going to stay in one spot for a longer period of time, I would much rather have a large 5er...but I'd sure hate to have to drive that dually around to the grocery store or exploring. Our toad is small enough to go just about anywhere with 4 occupants and get 30 mpg doing it.
