From 5er to class A, why?
How many of you moved from a 5er to a class A and why? I have ruled out a class C and TT so a DP 40 or a higher grade 5er appeals to me but as someone who has not rv'd before, I'm struggling to know ...

with a 5er you are able to have a monster truck to run errands, sightsee on winding/narrow roads, etc.
There fixed that for you.
But seriously, if you search the forum, any fuel savings by driving a toad is typically offset by the much worse mpg of a Class A. With a 5th wheel, you typically hear people talking about 8-12mpg (depends on the engine and how big).
With a Class A you typically hear about 5-8mpg.
So if you actually move the rig at all, it quickly cancels out any fuel savings from using a small toad.
Unless you are into heavy duty off roading, a 4x4 big pickup is easy to drive around and does just fine.
