Trailer, or 5th?
We are experienced TC and motorhome people, and debating both forms in our minds. On the one hand, fifth wheels have great storage, and the truck stays empty...but... On the other hand trailer...

I just went from a TT to a 5th.
Pros for the 5'er: lots more storage, high ceilings, easier to hitch only because you can see the hitch, auto leveling is a must,
Cons for 5'er: beware of height issues and tree limbs,hitch is in the bed, must use a pick up. More clearance issues to consider, bed height can be an issue.
Fivers are more expensive. Built in genset are available
In the end a fiver is a bit more convenient. It is fully self contained. Truck storage is not as critical. 5'er is a bit easier to deal with overall.
