I like 5ers. I have a TT. Why? One reason, I don't need as much truck to have the same size living area.
Two. I use my truck bead for bikes, wood, and such.
Three. And this is big. It is UP, or DOWN stairs every where you go in a fiver. There are way more steps to get into, and out of it. Once inside, It is up stairs to the bathroom, upstairs to the bed.
Stairs are really hard on your knees.

TTs on the other hand are flat. No pain involved in walking to the bathroom, or to the bed room. I look for ease, and comfort in my life. TTs are easier, and comfortable.

Thank you for the reminder on the Stairs...I had forgotten that part. I'm not exactly graceful, especially when I am sleepy...one of the reasons I built a single level home. I do not like stairs.

I like your TT as well... That's one I am really considering. I like how low they are to the ground...only a step or two to get in.

My next vehicle will have to do split duty...it will need to be a daily driver (70-80 miles round trip commute) and a TV. I'm really thinking hard about a 1500 series crew cab. That means I will need to be more careful about my weights...but hey, I am coming from a PUP where how much the Cooler weighs matters. Lol

I also appreciate that the hitch weight is much more manageable with the TT. My dads fifth wheel slider hitch had to be broke into to two or three pieces and it took both of us to get it in and out of his truck.

Thanks!

My sig TT weighs dry 4811lb, It is 30' long. It tows like a dream. It is in the loaded 6000lb range, depending on where it is going. It sleeps ten. We really like it.

We tow it with the F150 in my sig. I have no sway period. And plenty of power. It handles the TT with ease.
