Hello I have been looking for my first rv. I was looking at motor homes but most of my use will be in the summer as I am semi retired and take 3 months off every year now. So I think a travel trailer or 5th wheel would be better. It is only me and my small dog on most of my travels so I would like to stay under 27 ft.
ANyways what are the pros and cons of a 5th wheel vs TT and what is a good mid entry to high end brand that is good for cold Canada. Most of my camping will be remote and far north.

Also need a good satellite for bell Canada service.

Thank you all and looking forward to sharing the open road with you all.

first thing you need to do is post specs on your truck: year/make/model/engine/rear end ratio, payload & towing capacity.
payload alone will dictate a lot of what 5th wheel is possible.
