We went from 5er to A last year. Love it. Setup is easier and faster. If you stay in one spot 5er is best. If you move a lot the the A is best in my humble opinion.
several people have said this but have not explained why. I would appreciate some explanation whya 5er is best if you stay at a spot for a while. thanks!:@
I just found that the overall spaciousness in the 5ver was wonderful. Height and width of slides made for a massive amount of space that 30 years ago was unheard of in any type pf RV. While I didn't have front seats (driver /passenger) to manipulate when in the 5ver, I still had to manhandle the recliners after set up to get them positioned in the living area.
Hooking up water/sewer/electric/cable is the same between both units . For me the fiver was the slow travel and attention to moving such a large heavy mass around on the highways and in cities with a huge pick up truck.I just never liked driving it around and maneuvering- required much more driving attention.
Having immediate access to restroom, kitchen area etc while on the road in the MH makes for overall easier and much more comfortable travel. Downside of the MH is poorer fuel economy by about 2 mpg.
I just never had any desire to take my fiver west of the Mississippi or north of Tennessee when traveling. With the MH I pretty go wherever the wind blows.
