I posted this earlier today in the FW forum and it was suggested I also post it here to hear what you all have to say. We've been looking at the Sunset Trail 32rl TT and like it a lot. Then, we saw...

Go with the 5th wheel better quality and to make up for the lack of bed storage 5th wheels have huge basement storage. And with the pin weight, I have a F-250 diesel and pull a 41 footer 5W that weighs in at just under 13,000 pounds and has about a 2,400 pound pin weight and the truck is still pretty level when I'm towing.
Interesting. We both have a 10K GVWR max but my truck seems to weigh a good 500 lbs. more than yours. Though I would guess, with the diesel and the Fx4, that you are about maxed out on payload. With a 1K hitch weight, I still have 800 lbs of payload. I use that for the camper shell, winch, sliding bed drawer, bike rack, generator, extra passengers, remote camping gear, air compressor, etc. We like to get to very remote areas and not having the right equipment with us could be a disaster. It's great that a 5er has basement storage but it won't help if you are 50 miles down a dirt road and stuck, unless you drag your basement storage with you.
The great thing about RVs is that there is one to suit almost any style of traveling.
