I also remember reading a post here a few years ago that fifth wheels are much harder to resell than bumper pulls because they are more expensive and require the special hitch. Maybe that's not true either, but it sounds reasonable. And I've seen posts here talking about a problem with fiver handling; I think they called it "chucking". And some posters here say they have driven both and they think bumper pulls ride smoother. (That's sure to raise another reply from jshupe telling everybody again that I've already made up my mind) I think a lot of the great hype about fifth wheels may be that's what the salesman told them, they bought it, now they need to believe they made a good decision. Of course the salesman is going to say it's better because it has a higher price tag.
A properly set up TT will tow just fine...but there is a little more to getting it set up properly.
But even with a proper setup, a 5er still tows much nicer.
PS: no issues selling a 5th wheel. 30-40yrs ago, they made up a tiny portion of the market. Now they are probably around to 50% of the towable RV market (over 28'). There is no issue selling them when the time comes.
