Is it worth it?
Well, we put our fiver away into indoor storage 2 weeks ago after an interesting season. We took the fiver out of storage in early April and got sideswiped by a new driver one week later on the way...

You might consider downsizing. JMHO
That was my thought as well, after reading your post. You have a MASSIVE 5th wheel for a couple and a 7 year old to go weekend camping. Seems to me that by the time you get everything set up, its probably time to start breaking down camp. I have to wonder if you wouldn't enjoy a smaller camper and time outdoors better. Growing up we had a pop up camper and spent out time outside when camping.
We love camping, but we still spend the majority of our time outside. We have campfires, the kids play in the dirt and water, we cook outside, we sit outside, the kids ride bikes, etc. Oftentimes we camp with a group of family or friends so that there are people with which to interact.
If camping feels like a hassle, you are less likely to do it. A small hybrid camper, some hot dogs/hamburgers/chicken to cook over the firepit or on a grill, some nice camping chairs and a well stocked cooler could completely change your perspective! Cheaper, easier and more fun for actual camping!
Good luck!
