A bed in the front of a 5er will move up and down the same as the bed of the truck (unless you have an air hitch / pin). The back end of the 5er could (and probably does) bounce all over the place.
In a fiver you are more like on a teeter totter. It doesn't matter if you are in the front end of the teeter totter or the back. The trailer has to be allowed to rise and fall independent of the truck, and so will you rise and fall.

We are at a crossroads as to going for the 5th wheel or a motorhome. This is after having a TT for 4 years.
My wife has a bad back and suffers terribly when sitting for hours in the tow vehicle. Being able to simply lie down is a HUGE benefit to her.
I know that some folks will say DON'T Do it etc etc.. but the fact is that if my wife was able to take a lie down in the 5th while on the move then it would be a decision maker for us.
It looks like most of the modern 5th's have shocks etc and seem to be as sturdy as any motor home. Also I believe that it's also legal in most states.
Is anyone on the forum doing this?
Thanks for the feedback!
