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

We have three young kids so having them in a safe truck with airbags and their car seats/boosters is a big deal to us. Plus from a performance and ease of driving standpoint I don't imagine most motorhomes can match a newer diesel like our Ram.
And fifth wheels are just versatile. We mostly take ours camping which is nice because once camp is set up and the trailer is parked we've got a good 4wd truck that can handle the rugged forest service roads well. We're taking it down to southern Cal later this summer for a family vacation and once we're parked we've got a safe truck to get around in that's more comfortable for a family of 5 than most of the dingy type vehicles I've seen behind MHs. Plus I want a truck anyway for all the truck stuff that comes up all the time - hauling building materials from the home center, trees from the nursery, appliance purchases, and etc.
