Is a 50amp service worth the upgrade?
We are starting to do research for a new trailer for next year, I am debating getting a 50 amp service. It is an option for most TT 's and not easy to find them on the lot (seems most fivers have them...

If you're shopping TTs over 32' you will more than likely need a second AC unit for camping in warmer climates thus requiring 50 amps service, smaller TT with single AC and 30 amp service is sufficient.
Keep looking as many larger, mid to high end TTs come standard with 2 ACs and 50 amps service and are available on many dealer lots without having to special order which will cost more in the long run.
The more info you have on a particular rig, improves the chance to swing a deal where you get 50 amp service for pennies on the dollar as compared to special order, especially if rig has been on the lot for awhile.
Today's higher-end TT's have many of the same features and comforts of 5ers, and properly set-up with a quality WD/SC hitch, deliver towing comfort one would expect from a fifth wheel.
