TT or 5th wheel?
After some research, shopping, and feedback from you all, we are now considering a 5th wheel. They seem to be more expensive than TTs, however, there seem to be more used 5th wheels for sale than T...

Oh the compromises we all have to make! Natl. park size limits vs. wanting a separate shower arrangement usually found in the bigger rvs; high ceilings (5vers) vs. getting into the more primitive campgrounds where lower height TT's have the advantage; wanting a separate office space usually means over 30ft., etc, etc.
IF this is your first RV, I'd consider a used one first because we all learn a lot from that experience. NOTE that some folks never do learn to back 5vers well. Our first used 16ft. TT was purchased because our Ford Ranger could pull it, but the next two tt's were bought because we liked the floor plan and then we went shopping for the tv that could pull them.
From the OP's wish list, I would think that a 30+ft. 5ver would be the logical choice, knowing that some NPs and State parks won't be accessable, though more and more of them are adding longer sites to their mix.
We have called Yosemite and they have the strictest requirements for RVs. Maximum length for trailers is 35'. So, now we are shopping used 5ers 35' and under. They are so much more expensive than trailers!! And yes, so hard to find them without bath in BR!
I have found more with more kitchen counter space, but those are the higher-end, more expensive ones... Hopefully, we will be able to find one that meets our needs and most of our wants at a good price.
