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 ...

We had 5th wheels - the last one newer than this Class A. It was beautiful, had 6 pt leveling and rooftop satellite and more room than our Class A. We had a dually F350 that was a beast and when towing I couldn't be happier - I could take down and move in an hour - to the point I didn't mind camp hopping to get full hookups on the weekdays.
That was where our love affair ended. When not on vacation, I hated the truck so I had to get a third car for daily driver. Every fiver we owned rolled off the lot brand new needing full upgrade and replacement suspension, tires, brakes and wheels. They really aren't made to move :)
Our DP is an expensive change - but for us it's much more useable for long, even short trips. Took it out to give my Dad a ride in it a few weeks ago and to charge batteries and before long we were in a park with the slides out, awnings and jacks, and a couple of chairs while the gals visited inside. I would never have done that with our 5er.
