Seriously considering buying a mid-size 5th wheel next year. Seems like we just brought our new Lance home (in 1996) and its just barely getting broken in, but we are considering going semi-fulltime next year and 5th wheels are looking better and better.

The problem you're gonna have is finding a fifth wheel with the same quality and dependability as your Lance camper you have now.
As others have already stated, I also urge keeping the Lance.
There was a poster here on the forum, way back now, believe he used the user name "Wheeler". Anyway, he modified I believe an Alpenlite fifth wheel and some of his photos/posts showed what one can accomplish, off road and off grid, with a fifth wheel.
So it is really just limited to your own imagination, but I fully believe a fifth wheel is capable of handling more than just paved roads. Mind you, the caveat here is of course speed off pavement will be greatly reduced.
Best of luck in your searches.

Oh no, not you brad. LOL How you gonna tow the Jeep?
Well, that is the problem and it's going to make things more complicated. When we go out west for 2 or 3 months, we will leave the offroad jeep home and take the stock Rubicon and tow our 16' jon boat behind it.
When we take the offroad jeep, we are usually just going for one day or we are going to places that rent cabins (like Harlan, Ky).
