Anyone switch from a motor home to a fifth wheel?
If you have, would love to know the reasons why!

It's simple. MH's don't undergo NHTSA crash testing. Roll one over on a freeway off ramp and it turns to balsa wood.
My Ram has certified crash rating, multiple airbags, and seat restraints for all passengers.
The real problem with a motorhome collision is that all the junk inside the coach will fly forward in a crash - including cabinets, seats, appliances, contents of cabinet and drawers (including all the knives in your kitchen). And unbelted children in the back will fly forward until they hit you in the back of the head.
We owned a DP, and don't miss coughing up big $$$ on 12R22.5 truck tires, air brakes, or heavy diesel maintenance.
If you have, or can justify, a 1 ton diesel pickup the fiver is clearly the best "bang for the buck"!!
