5W vs. Bumper Pull
After giving my search a break for the summer, I'm back at it. Not super serious right now, but if I find the right RV, I'll probably buy it. I know that I'm limited in the size of 5W I can pull, so...

Since the OP refers to travel trailers by the negative term "Bumper pull" and is willing to spend $10,000 more for a fifth wheel trailer, I think his mind is already made up. Not being critical, just noticing.
Agrreed.
Either that or the OP is naive to how heavy a TT is and that it is in no way a "bumper pull".
I think TT's tow fine when set up properly (dont buy the cheapest hitch!!!) but as they get much longer and heavier, a fiver pulls nicer without causing the TV to be pushed around the road.
I don't have a negative opinion of travel trailers (is that a proper description?) I just know I'm limited by weight, and I'm wondering if I would be better off with a smaller 5W or a larger travel trailer given family size? I don't have a huge selection of local dealers, and when I posed the very same question at the local Camping World, he didn't even want to show me travel trailers, only $45k plus 5W.
