Alright, forget the cap. Is the basement storage still more than the truck bed up to the rails?

We went TT over a 5er because of needing the storage in the bed. We regularly carry 4 bikes, and 4 kayaks. 4 bikes in the bed, and 4 yaks on a ladder rack over the bikes.
Well think out of the box and you could have a 5er.
Long bed TV pin box bike rack, carry kayaks on rack over cab the extends forward over hood area.
Once again personal choice.

OK so what is more stable in High Winds?!?!?!?!
Thats my worst fears while on camping trips with my current TC.
It raises the COG much higher & those winds feel very scary!
Overall, the FW will be much more stable in winds. When a FW wants to move sideways, it's got to move the whole truck, too, due to the hitch point. With a TT, it's a case of the tail wagging the dog. Look at the leverage it's got on the truck from the ball vs the king pin of a FW. I'd towed enough trailers of all kinds to know that I didn't even consider a TT when I was shopping. I also had GN experience, so that sealed the deal even more.

Is the under storage in the 5th wheel really more than a whole truck bed with cap?
No. The biggest downside to a fifth wheel is the loss of bed space, imo. You can gain it back in a FW toy hauler but not in a FW camper.
But on the flipside it gives you a shorter total package that tows nicer.
