I've had both and now in MH. Towing a 5ver down the highway in the hot summer when I stop it is hot inside. So no stopping for a quick snack or nap on the road unless you enjoy the hot 5ver. I had a propane gen but that gets real pricy running that down the road. Get where you are going and that big PU is a pita in some areas.
With the vent covers, you just leave the vents open and it mitigates most of the issue (full timers usually travel with the seasons so they don't spend a lot of time in 100+ temps)
Does your MH dash A/C really keep the entire rig cold or is the fuel cost just hidden in the low mpg?
I run the generator on the road. gas is cheaper than propane. Plus I didn't have a large propane tank on my 5ver. Had to keep changing small tanks. At the end of the day I would be thrashed. With MH I just hit slides and jacks and kick back in a cool or warm unit depending on outside temp. All a matter of choice though. I've had TCs, TT, 2 MHs, & 5ver. For comfort and ease of driving just prefer MH. I will admit 5vers have some better floor plans for watching TV but we very seldom watch TV.
