Hello all I am new and do not own anything...yet. My Dad and I are looking for a fifth wheel or other towable type. Owners give the best reviews. Any and all comments , advise or bs are all welcome. And you never know I may run into you at the park next year. Texas Hold Em may pay my park rent...ha.

We have had 3 fifth wheel trailers. We went from a pop up to 5 vers. I drove tractor trailers for a living and it just seemed reasonable. We didn't keep the first one long, it had no slides. Trying to get out the door with someone sleep in the living room just didn't work.
We came real close a year or so ago to getting a class A motorhome. The economy kinda made our mind up for us and we kept the 5 ver. It was payed for. Most of the time, were we camp, is either on or near water. I like having a boat and fishing. The motorhome would have let us tow the boat, instead of my wife following with the car and boat. It also would have given us storage we would have needed.
The bottom line is, take your time, do your homework, check out the shows and dealers and come up with what would work best for you. Storage, interior room, what you would feel comfortable towing or driving, are all some questions you must ask yourself.
Good luck.
