The 5th wheel, to me, just seemed a lot easier to hook up, as opposed to a pull trailer, as well as being safer to tow. (That's just my opinion) I never thought I was trying to be better than anyone. For some reason lately there have been several posts on this forum from folks considering "moving up" from a pull trailer to a 5th wheel. I have seen some absolutely beautiful pull trailers that I would have no qualms with owning. To me, it's just a matter of personal choice. Are 5th wheels really now considered to be a "move up?" Just seems an odd way to look at things.:h
Your combining a couple of factors that are unrelated,
Since you went from no RV to a fiver you in your case there was no move at all.
However many move from smaller less equipped units to larger fiver's with more amenities. Much in the way there are starter homes and their are larger fancier homes.
My first trailer was very nice but my fiver was an upgrade, because it was larger and came with more feature.
The idea of upgrading to a 5'er is really not that complex.
One day with a little luck maybe I'll upgrade my 5'er to a 40' diesel pusher motorhome.
