I can't really give you any feedback on that particular model but I think once you hit about 30' fifth wheels start to make a lot more sense than travel trailers. They give you a shorter overall package, they pull better and the extra ceiling height is really nice.
Your truck probably doesn't have factory pucks so you're two options are adding a gooseneck ball and using a turnover ball style hitch that sits in your bed (ie, Andersen Ultimate or B&W Companion), or adding rails and using any rail mount hitch. I added rails to mine as I feel it's a more solid platform, and it gives you a ton of flexibility - any rail mount hitch or adapter works on them. You can get a custom mount set of rails at etrailer for a couple hundred bucks or any shop can add them for you.
