I am on my second TT, and have no desire to go to a fifth wheel, and will never get one.
Reasons:
1. My 25 footer has the perfect floor plan for my wife and myself
2. We are canoers and kayakers, and our TV, (a Ford F150 with a cap on it) allows us to take two kayaks and one canoe on our trips.
3. The cap on our truck allows us to safely carry and store all our paddling gear, our two mountain bikes, and our back packing gear plus our outdoor carpet mats, and lots of other stuff that we don't want tot carry in the TT
You can't do numbers 2 and 3 with a fifth wheel

Same here:
4 MTBs in the truck bed out of the weather, secure and out of sight
Kayaks on top of the truck canopy
There is no way I am giving up the truck bed space, plain and simple. I am also not a big fan of the really tall 5'er configurations. My TT tracks perfectly fine to where I sometimes forget it is there. There really is no need for us to switch to a 5'er even though I have a 1 ton truck to easily accommodate the increased pin and trailer weight.
