RV purchase: 5th wheel or trailer?

I am looking for advice.

We have had a used 1992 lance 24 ft. 5th wheel for pass twenty years and the wife said it time to move on/ upgrade. I read were a RV normally losses 50% of their value after five years and that is why it is money wise to purchase a good used RV. So we are looking to purchase a used 5th wheel or trailer approximately five years old. This time around I would like a 30 ft. max. RV that is not so cheaply constructed that it is a night mare to work on or repair. Don’t get me wrong we cannot afford a Rose Royce/ Lexus quality unit but would like to have something in a Toyota Camry range. Something we can have for ten years plus without having a major headache each time we go to use it. I am an electrician and know how to use a tool or two so I can and do my own maintenance.

Something I been toying with is getting two 125/250 Yamaha style trial motorcycles so the wife and I can run them on the back mountain roads darning camping trips; no dirt biking for us. I am concerned that I would not have room to haul them if I purchase a 5th wheel. That is the big reason we are will to consider a trailer this time around. Possible haul the bikes in the back of the truck bed. Not really keen on toy haulers but it is not totally ruled out.

1. What brands would you recommend and why?
2. What brands to avoid.
3. Which way to go, 5th wheel or trailer?
4. Anything good advice would be of help.

If the motorcycles are important, a travel trailer gives you the full bed of the truck. And most TT hitches and tongue weights are less than a similar sized fifth wheel. The floor of a TT is level, the steps into and out from the ground usually less, and in most cases the TT is not as tall. Height can be an issue with branches for taller fifth wheels. You owned a fifth wheel prior so you are well experienced in fifth wheel towing. Rampage makes a lift that makes it easy and effortless to load motorcycles into the bed of pickups. Might look into that as well.
