I couldn't find anything for the 4 of us in a new trailer 5th or bumper pull for $20K. So I went for a private party used bumper pull and paid half of that.
Around here used bumper pull trailers seem to cost more than comparable 5th wheels. I attribute this to there being more of a market for a used bumper pull because many more rigs are capable of towing them. I was seriously considering a 5th due to getting more for my money on the used market but ended up with a bumper pull. The main deciding factor was not wanting to hassle with taking off the canopy from my pickup and loosing the bed storage space. I still think a 5th has many advantges over a bumper pull especially when you consider over all length of tow rig plus trailer.
