Would you recommend a 5th wheel for me?
Hello, I'm retiring next year and want to hit the road. I've done a lot of RVing in my life, but always as the passenger in someone else's rig. This time I want to go solo. I'm a 50 year female. ...

First ask yourself roughly how long are you going to stay at each place you visit? If it's only for a few days then maybe a motorhome would fit your needs, but if you intend to stay put for longer periods of time and venture out from the RV I say 5th wheel.
Next go to a RV show, sit in a motorhome for an hour and then do the same in a 5th wheel. Talk and listen to people as they walk through, you'll learn more from them in two hours than you would think. Don't get involved with a dealer until you have selected the right rig for YOU. Then find that rig at a price that fits your budget.
One last thing, look up the discussions on this site for motorhome vs 5th wheel. Good reading and you'll find out that only you can make the right choice. My mother-in-law is doing the same thing as you and we are waking her through the process. She is currently choosing floorplans for 5th wheels. At 73 she is not scared a bit, she used our rig as a trainer last week and had a lot of fun.
