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 ...

OP, even though you do not like sea foam it sounds like you are mechanically handy...a good thing if you own a RV. Like you I refuse to own a PU with hips even though I recommend buying more RV than you think you need...ONE Time. NO way would I go back to a 5er for most of the reasons already posted plus I can backup. Bigger tanks and more self contained makes a A nicer for boondocking.
Sounds like you have a used budget of $100K which will get you a nice 10 year old DP BUT as a virgin RVer that's a lot of $$$ to spend on something the wife may not like. Jumping straight into a DP will save a bunch of steps and granted she will like it better in a DP than a 5er BUT it's a big gamble.
Contrary to the above, I would probably start with a 250/2500 PU pulling a used 31' Airstream in a package of $50K. You can sell the Airstream for what you paid for it in5 years plus you already have the generators you'll need. As a virgin my advice is you need to slow down and make sure this is a adventure everyone will enjoy without spending a lot of money.
PS: the Tampa RV show is 3 months away.
Where could you get a pickup and an airstream for 50,000 if you can let me know ill buy it otherwise even used you are 75-100,000
