Motor home vs 5th wheel

Simply put if you are going to travel more than sit for the winter then a motorhome is the best. IF you just go and sit for months at a time or go and sit a month and move and sit a month a with wheel shows it value there. If you love to travel there is no better way to travel than a motorhome. THe singers use busses for that reason too but they put on up to 20K miles or more a month. I put on 30K plus miles a year and would not have anything but a motor home. In fact I am thinking of getting a Class B for short trips. I am getting spoiled and love the benefits of a motorhome. WIll have to sell the born free though.

I used to believe this when I had the MH but its just not true anymore. With the new 5ers having about all the same features as MH's now I can set up and break camp as fast as I did with the mh. Other than set up and break down there is no difference whether you sit over night or months at a time other than your mh running gear just sitting there. I loved my mh but I love the 5er as well. Both have advantages and disadvantages. Most high end mh's depreciate about what a 5er cost in the first 2 years if that's a factor for you. Almost everyone here likes the MH but you are in the A class section. Now try the 5er section and see what the outcome is. I'm just saying everybody loves what they have now and a lot will make comments on something they have never owned.
