Need 5th wheel advice and input

We have had a couple TT's and now we are in our second Class A but are looking at a couple Jayco 5th wheels to size down into.

The two models we are looking at are:
2018 JAYCO EAGLE HT 28.5RSTS (preferred)
2018 JAYCO EAGLE HT 27.5RLTS

Heavily leaning towards the RSTS as it has more storage.

I have a 2005 Ford F250 Crew Cab truck with the 6.0l diesel so I am well within my limits to pull either one since both are designed for 1/2 tons.

I would like input on those that specifically own Jayco products, good, bad and otherwise. I am also looking for input on the actual hitch. My truck has the short 6.75 bed so possibly a slide hitch but not interested in manual.

I am a newb on the 5th wheel concept so be gentle! LOL

Thanks!

I'm on my second new Jayco Travel Trailer and I won't buy anything else, unless something changes down the road. I have only had minor problems on both of them and they were problems associated with other manufacturers (such as water heater, furnace, and Lippert axles) and not Jayco. I have had good luck with my dealer as well as Jayco. For years I have helped family members with their "other brand" Travel Trailers and I have seen some "shoddy" work that I have never seen on my Jayco's.
