I owned a 34 ft 1989 Fleetwood Pace Arrow MH, a 2000 F250 diesel PU and a 2001 Alpenlite Augusta 32RL 5ver, a 2012 Jayco 19RD TT, and now a 2013 Monaco Monarch MH.
It is just a personal preference. I prefer the MH because it is easier to walk around and not have to get out of the PU and go back to the 5ver. Especially in inclement weather. I like the MH being kept at a comfortable temp while on the road. In the 5ver in the winter I ran the furnace on the road but in the summer, although I had a propane generator, it was expensive to run and used up the small tank of propane on the road to keep the 5ver cool. If you have a PU I would buy a 5ver. If you buy a MH you'll need a toad. Check them all out and add up all the $$$$$. Buy and pay what you are comfortable with. I don't think I would sell a good PU just to get into a MH over a 5ver.
