5th wheel. There is no motor to worry about. Had a 34 ft class A. For all the reasons stated in your video. Granted it was used. But after a while, the engine kept having issues and then transmission and drive shaft. With a 5th wheel, if your truck has issues, you can drop it off and still have your house. Not always the case with class A. And resell value is not always better on a class A. With the cost of the class A and limit to where it can be serviced vs locations and more accessibility to service a 3/4 or 1 ton truck feels more secure. Even from your video, livability seemed to check more boxes in the 5th wheel. I have a GD momentum 350M th I hope you enjoy your motorhome and your journey!!! 😊

When we were using a class A, my wife and I could pull into or back into a camp site and have slides out, leveled and utilities hooked up and our chairs out in about 15 minutes max. Then we could sit there watching as a couple came in with there 5th wheel and after taking 3 or 4 whacks at getting it backed in just right and almost an hour before they were done setting up. Advantage: class A, every time.

Great video. The Class A has a couple of other advantages too. 1. When traveling the air conditioning is always running so when you stop you don't have to go back to a hot trailer. 2. When traveling on a rainy day you don't have to get out of the truck and run back to the fifth wheel, open it up, just to go to the bathroom. You just get up out of the drivers seat and walk through a nice dry motorhome to the bathroom. 3. The same thing when overnighting in a parking lot. If it's raining or cold out you don't have to get out. You are already in your RV. 4. In the Class A you have full access to the kitchen so the passenger can make snacks or grab cold drinks without having to pre make them and pack a cooler, which also takes up room in the truck and still isn't easy to get to while driving. For me my wife has to use the bathroom a lot. With the Class A there is no more pulling over at every other exit so she can use the bathroom. I get to keep driving and she can go as frequently as she needs too. She always felt bad making me stop so often. For us and our family the Class A is the clear winner. One last benefit of a Class A. We can run the washer and dryer while driving down the road eliminating the need to do laundry at night after we have stopped for the evening.

I prefer to avoid my home being impounded until I apply for and receive whatever state I am in oversize permit when caught by a state patrol officer who has accident investigation tape measure in the trunk. 65" is the maximum combined RV / Trailer / towed vehicle length in 90% of US states. It's only a matter of time when you get pulled over and a policeman measures your combo You are better off researching each state ahead of time you plan to travel in and apply for and receive an oversize permit so you can turn smokey's grin to a frown when he asks you to turn off your RV while he pulls out his 100' tape measure and asks your pretty wife to hold the end of the tape measure but you admit you are 70' and have a valid state oversize permit. These permits usually come in one time limited use, a specified date set or an annual permit. California's annual is only $90 while Arizona's is a whopping $360. Yes, separate permits for each state. It takes each state different delay times, so many of us over-length toy haulers rip of the bandaid and opt for a annual because then we have the flexibility to travel multiple instances without having to apply for multiple date one time or date window permits that are difficult to predict.

I am on the fence as to which way to go and that could prove to be a decision maker for me. Thanks and great videos.

We made a similar switch, but from bumper pull to Tiffin gasser. I agree with all of your comments. I think it's worth adding that the touch and feel of quality is higher on most Class A's than most trailers. I very much appreciate the solid weighty feel of pretty much everything. As a larger man, I appreciate the lack of flex in the floor. As a tired man, I appreciate that I can sleep while my wife moves around without feeling it in the bed. Another worthy point is climate control. It is so nice to show up at a location already cooled down.

Great job on the comparison. We ran a 5th wheel for 20 years when we were working but moved to a Class A for full timing. We loved our 5th wheel and it served us well. However, one area you did not cover was the ease of set up and take down. This is also different for each individual but we have found for us it is much easier to set up and take down the class A.

It’s ride isn’t as smooth as the diesel models, but our maintenance costs are a lot lower than the diesel. I really like the class A & since we are full time retired, we don’t have to worry about work stations. The storage is big for us & we feel we save on gas having the car to get around.

You have access to all of your facilities as you stated and you rarely have to get out on short stops. But… the travel trailer has a better and more comfortable layout. We have a rear living unit with a kitchen island and it’s great and spacious. We go away for weeks at a time and I too work on the road.

I agree with every one of your category decisions, even though we did the exact opposite as you guys. We had a 40' Berkshire 390BH "luxury" diesel pusher that was indeed very nice and I will concur that the air ride is great, it's quiet, with great visibility and perfect if you're traveling frequently, but a motorhome is just too small for us once we reach our destination. We sold our diesel pusher and switched to a 48' Voltage Triton 4271 fifth wheel. In our case, as a family of four with two dogs and my need to work from the RV during the day, the fifth wheel was a much better fit for us. We converted our garage to an office so I can work in a quiet environment. In our case (mid bunk room) our kids have their own computer room where they can do homeschool work or gaming, plus they each have their own bunk, my wife and I have our bedroom, and we still have 2 bathrooms, so there is plenty of space for us. The way we travel now, staying 1-2 weeks at a time at a location, the fifth wheel provides us all of the space and amenities that we need which simply don't exist (and likely can't exist due to the limited space) in a motorhome. Great video, it's funny how we agree on every single category, yet went in opposite directions, lol.

And I'm hoping most of our trips will be shorter in the 5th wheel. I'll miss having a Jeep to adventure in once we get the 5th wheel, but the garage will be my office and our guest room. The model we plan to buy also has a loft in the garage, so that will be our storage. Our gasser doesn't have a lot of storage like the diesel pushers have.

We are thinking about going from a 5th wheel to a class A gas. Something I considered is replacing the windshield in the class A . My truck has had 2 new windshields in 10 years. Less than $200 each. We have hit 2 deer , with the big guard on the truck .no damage. Also what about the cost of tires. A set of Michelins was $900 for the truck. With all the costly issues of the A we are still considering one. A reason we are considering the gas A is if repairs are needed the local diesel shops did not work on diesel pushers. Being a retired truck mechanic I would do most of the repairs or at least know what it should cost for a shop repair. If money was no object I would consider a class A pusher. I've talked to a lot of people who say MHs are money pits. Well are 5th wheel is to just on a smaller scale and considering I've done most of my own repairs. That Tiffen is a great MH , we spend about 5 months a year in our camper. Maybe someday full timers.. Good luck and safe travels.

Stay in it at the repair facility, rent a hotel room, etc..? NOTE: I just saw you have a video on places to stay while your motorhome is being serviced. I think that will answer my questions.

Thanks guys, appreciate your 1st hand experiences and perspectives. I was wondering about your overall length when it comes to oversize rules and enforcement. We will be in a 40 towing a 22 or 24 so we will be over the typical 65' length limit. Have you experienced many problems with law enforcement and when you did, what were they?

I don't think the fifth wheel beats your motorhome for hauling things. Can you put both a car and motorcycles in the back like you can in a trailer towed behind your coach? No, as it would be far too heavy, never mind the space you would need in your garage area to do so. With a fiver, one must either drive their car separately or do without a car. The main reason we chose a motorhome is so we can bring our car with us. We flat tow because we're old, it's easier to tow and it's more convenient when stopped. However, I have seen Class As flat towing pick-ups with a motorcycle, kayaks, etc. in the back. Plus, there's no telling how much you can fit in a large, enclosed trailer. We do all the maintenance on both coach and toad ourselves, as our coach is a gasser and easy to work on. However, when I had my diesel truck, I always brought it to the shop for maintenance and repairs. I tried changing my diesel fuel filter once and it took half a day to bleed the air out of the lines, as I didn't have a special dealer only tool to bleed it with and had to do it the old-fashioned way. There are certainly advantages to a fiver though, interior space being one. We travel with pets and like that they are less stressed when traveling in our coach, as they don't have to leave their air conditioned and heated home while on the road. My dog even looks forward to travel day. We also like the money saved with our 30+ mpg toad vs having to fire up the big engine on a dually just to go for groceries, water, sightseeing, etc., not to mention the ease of parking. Just climbing into and out of a tall pick-up cab can be challenging for us older folk. We've been FTing for the last 5 years in our motorhome, boondocking most of the time. We chose a tag axle coach for this express purpose as it has a larger carrying capacity. This is important, as we travel with full tanks and a heavy solar system. Its 5,000 watts of solar and 23.5kwh battery bank is capable of running everything in our rig, including our A/Cs 24/7 if needed. We got our rig at a very good price - probably half of what a decent used diesel truck and a FT suitable fiver costs these days. It's sure nice living this lifestyle debt free when you're retired and have a limited income. I'm sure we'd be servicing a huge debt load had we chosen to go with a sweet F-350 and a nice fiver like you guys had. This would have eaten up a large percentage of our income - or we would have had to use up our entire savings and then some. If we ever need a major repair or to replace our coach with something similar, we have sufficient funds remaining to do so without going into debt again. For us, that's a huge consideration.

We always had Fifth Wheels and loved them. We have never owned a Class A so I just can't say. I've followed your channel and love the units' you guys had. Stay safe, keep enjoying life and look forward to the next.

Dude, your body language and when you said "I don't think it was a mistake" really made me think you thought it was "possibly" a mistake. You clearly do enjoy the class c's benefits, but I got a general feeling that while you're happy with the class C, you miss the 5th wheel. And I understand the feeling. I've never seen a couple with 2 more different accents that I enjoy. You two make a great team.
