Having full timed in both class C and class A motorhomes, all I can say, when it comes to choice, MH vs fiver, each mode of travel has something to recommend it. I finally wound up with a 2007 Hitchhiker fiver towed by a 2007 Dodge Ram 3500 diesel. That combination worked best for me since I usually visited certain areas for a month or few months at a time. The fifth wheel was truly a home on wheels and I wish a sudden disability hadn't taken me out of the picture. I'm now forced to live in long-term hotels. I don't know how anyone can stand living in an apartment, but that's just me.
Back on the subject, I agree with the observation made by others on this thread, that your proposed fiver may be a little heavy for your tow vehicle. If there's any chance you could downsize the fiver, it may make your experience safer and more pleasant. my Hitchhiker was 29' long with 3 slides, but I was a solo traveler. Two could have been comfortable in it, IMHO.
