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 which I would like better as a part time rver. I thought I would ck w those of you who might have had a 5er but made the switch to class A and what you like better about one or the other and what compelled u to make the change. Would be equally interested in class A owners who moved to a 5er but this is the wrong forum. I sorta feel like the 5er would be best for me but really tempted by the nice luxurious DPs that seem so popular.

5er vs MH 20135er vs MH 2017MH change to 5th 5er 2015

We had a 5thwheel and really liked camping so we moved to a class A DP. I liked the fiver but driving the DP you are higher (better view) . Also while traveling there is more room (us,two dogs and three grandheathens) ,it would be difficult to fit in a pickup cab. Backing into a site is easier with a 5er(it bends in the middle) . Disconnecting / connecting the toad takes as long or longer than the 5er to truck. I really like the DP but the 5er is very nice. It basically boils down to travel preference.

In my case, had to squash a mutiny - wife, three kids, a dog and cat would no longer ride in a truck! Seriously, with the 5er, we enjoyed camping, and with the class A we enjoy the adventure.

with a 5er you are stuck with a monster truck to run errands, sightsee on winding/narrow roads, etc. with a Class A and small 4x4 toad, opens many more possibilities.bumpy
