Motorhome to 5th wheel

I’m not about to trade our motor home for a fifth wheel or anything simply because we retired 15 Years ago and are at the age we wonder how much longer we will be traveling. However several years ago I ran into two couples that had gone just the opposite, fifth wheel to motor home. One couple did so because of some medical readon where she could not be very far from a bath room facility and actually had to stop traveling until they got the coach. The other couple did the same because they traveled a lot and wanted the ease of pulling over and having lunch or whatever without going back and opening to the fiver. I do think if you plan on staying in one place for relatively long periods of time a fifth wheel might be a little more livesble as it is more like the sticks and bricks . Just something to think about. Best of luck and travel safe.

We made the switch years ago and have no regrets at all. 5th has more room in it and both mh and 5er were same length with 3 slides.

I always thought the best part about having a MH would be the ability take a nice little car to drive around rather than a big truck. Seems like getting around would be more comfortable and it would be easier to park.

We did that in January of 2017 as well. We had a 40 foot dp and yes, it was nice but a motorhome does not afford the room a fiver has. We had a Sunnybrook fiver for a long time but when I retired NOOOO I had to buy a motorhome. We have not had one regret on this decision.

I am not bashing motorhomes just for the record. Every rv'er has their preferences. We did not see that big of advantage.

just did that 1 year ago. fifth wheel is great. lots of room. Tired of doing the maintance on the motorhome, so I do not miss it. Wife loves the 5er. one thing I do miss is the onboard generator.
