I had a 32' Rexall gasser with the Ford V-10 and traded it in for a National 35' DP on the Freightliner chassis. The ride and handling was much nicer in the DP. In the gas rig I felt every single bump on the freeway.
If I were you, since you already have the 5er, I probably wouldn't change. Sounds like you have a real nice 5th wheel. The main advantages for you to change, is you can take a long a smaller car to have to drive around versus driving around in the giant monster truck.
On setup, I often camp with friends who have trailers. When we check in at the RV park at the same time, I'm usually parked with the slides out and power hooked up and have time to go help them back into their sites. At check in my wife usually goes and checks us in while I unhook the toad. When she comes out she tells me where the site is and then jumps in the running toad and we head there. If I'm hooking up everything, I leave the slides in at first. Level it and then go do all the hookups and check and make sure I have clearance to open all the slides. Then once is all hooked up I open the slides. 10 minutes max. I guess if I jogged I could get it done in 5 but why the hurry?
