Traveling in a 5th wheel while driving.

[smcrea]

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!

It is legal in many states as long as you can communicate and their is at least one exit that can be opened from the inside. I would think a MH would be a better choice under your circumstances or perhaps a tow vehicle that has a back seat where she can lie down.
