I'm not going to bother giving you my opinion, but I will share some advice.
You will get a lot of varying opinions here. Beware of those that give their opinion without the numbers to back it up.
The limiting factor as to what you can pull with your Nissan is payload. If you post the payload of your truck you will get better advice.
Fifth wheel hitches can be heavy and eat up payload. Don't forget to factor that into your decision.
RVs are lousy investments. You don't want buy one and then decide it isn't for you. Find an RV show in your area and spend some time trying to figure the ideal floor plan for you.
Don't believe anything a salesman tells you. As a group they lie like rugs and don't have your best interests in mind. In their world everything is half-ton towable.
Familiarize yourself with RV terminology. Manufacturers use the dry weight (UVW) as a sales tactic and make it easy to find. It's useless. Only go by the wet weight (GVWR).
Manufacturers know that most of the trucks out there are half tons. In order to make their trailers "half-ton towable," they skimp on the bones, i.e. the frame. These trailers won't be as durable. Educate yourself about axle and tire capacities as they tend to push it to the limit of what they are rated for.
Once you have found your ideal trailer, go back and make sure it isn't too much trailer for your truck. There are trailers out there that are fine to pair up with your Nissan, but there are many, many, more that are not.
Keep reading and researching. Good luck with whatever you decide.
