Sorry, but the people with a 5er will say go with a fifth wheel and those with a DP will say go with a Diesel Pusher. Having owned every type of RV other than a Toy Hauler there is no way I'd go back to a 5er. A MH is the nicest and most expensive way to go RVing. You will probably put more miles on the jeep so you're overall MGP will be 13+ (8 + 18/2 = 13). If you bought a toad that gets 30 then your overall would be 19+. Not sure you need a Jeep for use during the three months. The newer diesel PU will get as good a MPG as the Jeep around town and will tow in the 9-12 range assuming a fairly large 5er.
I understand why you've been going back and forth as for the nine months it's a 5er pretty much sitting and for the three months it's a DP traveling. If it's going to be 9/3 always then the 5er. If it will get to 6/6 then a DP. If you are willing to get something with much better MPG than the Jeep then DP.
