Class A vs 5th Wheel
Howdy! We've had class A's for almost 20yrs, thinking about switching to a 5th wheel rig. Main reason is dealing with todes. Any thoughts...

That could put a lot more rubber on the road. That's an impressive looking machine.
No doubt, our tag axle DP handles WAY better than any motorhome we've owned and driven before (E450 Winnebago Aspect, 30' Winnebago Gasser). Our previous motorhomes where a handful in the wind but, obviously not all motorhomes can be placed in the same category during windy situations.
I do not tow a fifth wheel RV so cannot comment on the comparison however, the wind still catches my attention as it should with any higher profile vehicle.
I respect what aggressive wind conditions will do whether I am driving my DP, Commerical Buses, or a Semi. As I drive these, they all are affected by the wind so, if a driver of a fifth wheel isn't "fighting" the wind, then apparently a fifth wheel recreational vehicle being towed by a pickup is superior in handling to anything on the road during windy conditions. I certainly would agree that many fivers must handle better than a poorly set-up motorhome, however.
