We moved from a fifth wheel to an Airstream about a year and a half ago. Good move for us. We had the 5er for about nine years, an Everest, and it was showing its mileage plus we wanted smaller and with less moving parts to maintain, eg, slides. The Airstream towes and backs easier IMHO. Very stable on the road. True there's less storage space in the Airstream, but with the 5er hitch removed from the truck bed and purging of the "stuff" we had in the belly, we found we had plenty of room in the truck. Our 30' Airstream vs the 37' 5er gives us more flexibility in where we stop and, for me, an easier time parking in smaller CG's. For us it was a good change, might not be for everyone. You should travel/camp in what works best for you.
