. . . I worry that I just wont use a 5th wheel as much because it seems like it will be too much advance prep and anxiety finding a spot for it to camp. It seems it will be much easier to load up the TC on the truck in 20 minutes and set off . . . I am looking at the Host Everest model as the rear slide has a 6 foot couch which one kid can sleep on and the second in the converted dinette. All other Host models seem to be really setup up to sleep 3 comfortably based on my conversation with Randal at Host . . .
Have you checked out how much functionality you have with the Host Everest with the slides in?
One of the big turn-offs with a lot of units we've looked at in the past was the lack of functionality with the slides-in. Having to pop a slide just to make quick use of the bathroom or fridge while we're on the road was a no-go for us.
