Pull-Along vs.5th Wheel

5th wheel: Pros - Often more room, easier to pull as more stable.
Con - Price point much much higher. Need larger TV

Travel Trailer: Pros: Lighter, depending on size easier to get into some
camp grounds. Cost is much cheaper. Pull with smaller
TV. No stairs inside trailer
Cons: Can be smaller, can be harder to pull at first.

As long as you are OK with a dually.

I like hauling toys in the pickup. If you don't, then buy a 5er.

None

With any given truck you can pull a much bigger TT then 5th wheel.

Not when the size of TTs are limited to (roughly) 32-33-34' long.... And I can go to any dealership of nearly any brand and buy a 40-41-42' 5er.

In other words.... Not when they don't exist.

We camp 2 - 7 days at at time, I use my truck in between, with a TT there is no hitch in the bed of my truck.

TT had the layout we wanted

That is why we bought a TT instead of a fiver.

Not familiar with "DW". By the way it is used, my best guess is "Darling Wife"?
