Is this for a dedicated TV and how often do you want to travel?
A big consideration is the comfort and runabout-ability while you are traveling. If it needs to do more than just get you there, think about how you'll use it, cab/inside storage/etc.
5th wheels are quite flexible in their features and there are some really beautiful models out there. We chose a bumper pull in the approx 33' or so size and SUV because of how we use our Diesel Excursion for people and stuff when towing and not towing.

I would anticipate at least one trip of further length each year as well, up and down the west coast/other western states that would involve a more significant time investment in the vehicle.
