switching from tent camping to 5th wheel
We are in the market for a small-ish 5th wheel and the truck to tow it...We are looking at the Northwood Fox Mountain 235RLS and a 2015 F350 Diesel. We have only tent camped to date - but I just turn...

you are definitely on the right track to stay fairly small so you can still stay in national, state parks, etc. We went from a pop-up to a hybrid trailer to a 5th wheel. The only thing we missed was having such large, screen windows on the pop-up making one feel really outdoors. Our 5th wheel didn't have very large windows and we always ran a fantastic fan so we felt pretty closed in at night. However, we would never go back to a tent or pop-up. The 5th wheel feels more secure and sheltered in rain/rain. It's worth what you loose.
I'm new to RVs and have a 5th wheel. So far, our 3 trips have been to RV parks, but I believe we'll enjoy boondocking even more.
However, after just 3 trips I'm concerned about the off-road ability of a 5th wheel versus a travel trailer. It doesn't take much variation in ground level between my truck and the 5th wheel to make me nervous about hitting my bed rails with the RV.
How do you all deal with that?
