I would like to point out that we have a Class A DP. Motorhome Specialist in Texas was selling my rig for about $139,000 when I purchased mine new. If I would have gone the equivalent 5th wheel plus medium duty truck capable of hauling 6 people and the 5th wheel the costs would be much higher. A 5th wheel with a 2KW inverter, generator, AGS system, residential refrigerator, satellite system, solar panels, 110 gallons of freshwater, 50 grey and 50 black, macerating toilet, and so on tends to cost well north of $100,000 to start. Now, these units typically are three axle setups that weigh in at about 20,000# which if you want to be safe means true medium duty not the fake one ton dually setups, plus if I need to haul 6 people now I really have to have a medium duty custom rig that has the additional seats for everyone. These rigs start at over $100,000 before options. Basically for me I couldn't get there. If my needs were different i.e. I had fewer people to carry or didn't need an equivalent setup then all bets are off.
