When you add the storage space GAINED when you get back the bed of your truck, I would hazard a guess that overall, you will have more storage space.
I'm sure the owners of fifth wheels will disagree, but an 8 foot truck bed covered with a high topper has a bunch of space. Roughly 8 feet long, about 5 feet wide and 4.5 feet high. I have never seen a space that big in a fifth wheel.
Likely does, but the basement on my 5er is always packed, unlike the shell on the back of your truck.
We have gone from me walking out of work, to us pulling out of the storage yard ready to go in one hour and fifteen minutes. This included a stop at the house to air up the TV rear tires, and installing my hitch, and loading the food tub from the house. It is about five miles work to home and 5 miles home to storage yard.
Agree, I have an 8' bed and carry toolbox, 5er hitch, generator and several other things in the bed of my truck and also have a HUGE basement in my 5er.....As also stated, I can "hook up and go" in just a matter of minutes...everything is already loaded in the basement of the 5er...
Again, an Airstream without slide(S) isn't even in the picture anymore with us. The slides give you the extra room that sure comes in handy if one is "rained" in for a week:)
