I went from a 29' motorhome w/o slides to a 29' fiver with 3 slides. Although I enjoyed my MH I decided to go fiver since I was full-timing and found he fiver to be more acceptable to my lifestyle, which generally meant staying for an extended amount of time in each location. The increase in room was quite dramatic, although I do get along fine in smaller RV's.
At this time, I'm not RVing. A stroke put me out of the picture. If I ever get to the point where I can RV again I may choose a small MH since that would be easier to handle than a truck/fiver combo. if I was back to my original self I'd probably return to a fiver or possibly a small trailer. I don't need a lot of room.
I see there at least two of you. I think you'd like going with a fiver. Be sure you have a truck robust enough to handle the weight.
I pulled with a 1 ton diesel. There will also be a learning curve on handling the combo, especially backing into a site. Shouldn't be too intimidating, though. Yes, I'll always be an RVer at heart! ;)
