5th wheels are not always the most handicapped accessible of RVs because they have two levels separated by a (frequently steep and narrow) stairway. Few RVs are really usable by wheelchair bound persons; there's usually not much maneuvering room, entry doors are narrow, etc. At least with a toy hauler you'd have a nice big entry door with a ramp, which solves that problem.
Since the person I'm considering hauling around would be my soon-to-be ex-wife (wheelchair bound, can't walk at all), I would only need to take her to long distance appointments. I may have to stay away from 5th wheelers in this case. I certainly wouldn't want to have her in the master bedroom.
Besides, I make large robots, and I need to get them in somehow. We're talking a few hundred pounds and around 4-5 foot tall for my current bot.
This is one of the reasons I was thinking about a class a toyhauler, but those seem to be scarce as hens teeth and probably more expensive. :(
