Fifth wheel or travel trailer?
We're new to Rving. Trying to decide on what class of trailer to get. From you more experienced people: which one did you choose and why. Did you have a TT first and then move up to a 5er? If you ...

We went from car camping to a popup which would tow great with the midsize truck. We found a great on that was 3 years old. Our kids were 4 and 6 at the time and we used the heck out of it for 9 years. It had A/C, furnace, and heated mattresses. We had a great time with it, and sold it for $1000 less than we paid for it.
About a year ago we decided to go to a hard side camper. We briefly debated Tt vs 5ver, but decided on a TT because we did not lose the space in the bed. With 2 outdoorsy teens we can carry lots of equipment. Depending on where we are going, and how long, we may carry 4 kayaks, and 4 mountain bikes. I think that would be difficult with a fifth wheel taking up the bed.
When the kids are grown and we carry less stuff we me go to a fifth wheel, but for now a TT works well for us. There are tons of options and floor plans out there. Think about the activities and types of places you like to go and that will point you in the right direction. Think about the things you want to take with you, and how you can carry them. Also realize that with the little one those things will be changing, and the number of little ones may change also.
Enjoy making great memories with the family, they will grow up before you know it.
