Pulling a 15500 lb 5er
Still haven't settled in on a particular rv or format yet but we really like looking. Stopped in at a dealership today and the salesman showed us a used 5er, a 40 ft Komfort (by Dutchmen) which had a ...

They pull like a sled with the brakes on. A 1 ton will pull them and beat you to death. I'd highly recommend you drive a MH and see how they ride. I just would not pay that much for a 5er when you can get a MH for the same price and tow something with it.
:h...Makes no sense... "They pull like a sled with brakes on"; What's that mean???:h OP is talking about a Tow Vehicle to tow a 5er with and you're, (I think), talking about driving a MH (Motor Home)??? Don't know if you've ever towed a heavy 5er with a dually, but the dually, (as well as a 3500 SRW truck), will ride BETTER with weight in the bed of the truck....IF you have a MH, and want to keep it parked where you camp, you'll need to own a Toad, which isn't free, so you'll still need the MH and a toad.$$$$.....Your post makes no sense whatsoever.....
Don't know where you do your shopping, BUT...every motor home that I'VE seen has been more expensive than most 5th wheels...heck, even adding the truck in and the price is still lower than comparably equipped Motor home, ( 4 slides versus 4 slides and comparing what they come equipped with).....I've got a little over $115K in my truck and 5th wheel. I'm not going to get much of a Class A motor home for a $115K, and my truck is a diesel, crew cab long bed 4 wheel drive....Again, don't know where you do your shopping, but one isn't going to get much of a MH for 115K now a day's, unless you buy used and who knows what shape it'll be in...both my truck and 5er were purchased brand new by me and I know the condition of both...Brakes are great, Mine pulls "like a dream". Don't know what you're comparing to, unless you've not driven a "NEW" , at least 2010 and up Dually, but they don't ride ANYTHING like it appears you're trying to say they do....
