As mentioned, a smaller, older FW, will not have near the outside storage space compared to class As.
If your 1/2 ton is newer, it may be too tall for the older small FWs. Some will need to be raised, to tow closer to level.
Comparing axles and springs to your A MHs, many trailers have a much cheaper design. Axles can be barely adequate, and shackles/shackle bushings wear out quickly. Wheel bearing, and brake service may be needed, a good time to check all these things.
Some older FWs certainly better than others, and the Sunnybrook models that Craig mentioned a good choice.
