While you are setting up the 5ver, I'll push the level button, run out the slide and have a beer and watch you out in the weather doing your thing.
Or, while your coach is being towed to the shop and your driving to the local hotel while the motor/transmission/rear end gets repaired...while the fiver owner, who also experienced a driveline failure is sitting under his awning watching your coach get pulled away.... All this just to illustrate that there are no perfect answers here.
Tires on some class A's can get up to $3000-5500.00
Class A's need to be used, class A's CAN be expensive to service. (Remember, there are two types of class A's, diesel pushers, and gas rigs)
Fivers have their negatives as well, you have to own a truck.. (Not a negative to all) there is some set up time. Mostly backing in to a site, leveling, and unhitching. Everything else is the same.
We looked into class A's and ultimately decided we would stay with a travel trailer, even though we have enough truck for a fiver we choose a Travel Trailer.
My dad has the money to own anything he wants. He uses a fiver with three slides because he says they have more room. He despises the thought of losing the cab space in the Motorhome while parked.
But he is parked for Months at a time for work.
Only YOU and YOUR family can decide what's right for you. There is no one size fits all for everyone.
Enjoy the search and the journey.
