5th wheel or TT?
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...

.we found a 2012 F250, 6.7L Power Stroke 4V Diesel V8, 3.55 electronic axle, FX4. It has been lifted, I'm not sure how many inches but I can get in by stepping on the sidestep. Is this a good thing or a bad thing for a FW or TT?
IMHO it's not a bad thing it's a TERIBLE thing. For any truck. Someone will pop up and say otherwise so I'm saying JMHO. Search internet.
As far as fiver vs TT there are plusses and minuses to both.
5th is higher which can be a problem in "unimproved" campgrounds, some roads and you have more wind resistance. You lose bed storage, and put a whole lot more load on your truck. Usually stairs into bedroom which doesn't sound like a big deal but they get to be a nuisance in a small area. They hook up a little easier/faster. But if you take into account installing and removing the hitch from the bed it's a wash.
My hitching comment above are compared to a Hensley which I use with my current TT. Hookup is much easier than messing with spring bars and chains. It also tows every bit as well as a 5er.
The TTs are flat floor plan. No storage under but still have bed of truck unobstructed.
It's up to you, figure out which one works the best for you. Floor plan should play a big part of that. The 5er people will tell you 5er, the TT people will tell you TT. There are people who have changed both ways and are happy.
When I bought my first one everyone said "whatever you think you need get bigger" I now feel that was bad advice. Be honest with yourself when looking. Are you going to be living in it or camping? We are in ours very little when camping.
I went from a 5er to a TT and like it better. JMHO
However, If I was going too much over 32ft or so I would go 5er because of overall length.
