I think you should definitely check out one of the shows, the one we went to also held small seminars on what to expect and what to look for etc.., we found the seminars extremely informative. We still have yet to purchase one as we are torn between a 5th wheel and a class c. I love the 5th wheels but with 4 kids we would need to consider what type of vehicle to tow it with that would accomodate all 6 of us. Good luck in your search!! |
If you get a fifth wheel - you definitely need a one-ton pickup to pull it - because you will need a big fifth wheel and you will have lots of "stuff" in it and so the weight will be heavier.
In the one-ton pickups, you need a super cab or double cab - one that has four full doors and a full front and full back seat. We have one of those and for the two of us and the two dogs it is more than enough room. But we do take our daughter, son-in-law, and granddaughter with us sometimes and there is plenty of room for everyone - it sits 6 easily - but then someone has to hold the dogs - but someone has to hold the dogs, even when it is just the two of us
You know what I mean!
I think that if you can afford it though, I would go with the motorhome with that many people traveling. However, you won't ALWAYS have that many kiddos at home - so if you are thinking about the future, then maybe the 5th wheel will be OK!
Good luck with your search.
