Get what you want and disregard those that think it is "foolish" or "silly". RVing is not about being practical or doing what others do.
I happen to like the greatly reduced number of steps with travel trailers compared to fifth wheel trailers, both inside and out. I like the lower towing height of travel trailers when exploring back roads. I like the price per square foot of travel trailers. I like being able to see out in all four directions that is available with some travel trailers. I like the uniform heating and cooling of having just one level to contend with.
