You need to also tell them to spend a lot of time walking through 5th wheel a dealers lots to determine what floor plan works for them. Before we bought our first 5th wheel we looked for 6 mths and we kept it for 11 yrs before we bought the camper we have today. Floor plan layout and access to items in slide outs is very important. Joining this forum is definitely a great resource for you friend. The Mad Norsky is correct about weight. When I bought my Nemar I had a 3/4 ton truck and it could not handle my new pin weight. I had to go to a 1 ton dually and having adequate margin is very important. My camper weight is 14.5K, but I bought a 20K hitch to protect myself against the poor road condition on our hwys. Good luck to your friend.
