How about the test pull? I used to keep the wheels chocked until that was done. I usually travel alone and I found that I was in and out of the pickup many more times with my fifth wheel than with my TT. The two big gains are having a pickup (2500HD) that does not require a WD hitch and an electric tongue jack.
The elaborate and expensive framing of a fifth wheel means more cost and weight per square foot of living space than a TT. The extra steps are irritating at best and downright painful for many. The backroads where I like to travel often have less vertical clearance which limits their accessibility with a taller fifth wheel. The extra storage is more than offset by the room in the bed of my pickup with cap.
All types of RV's are great but there is no "Mine is the only good kind" advice needed or given.
