In this video I explain why we chose a 5th Wheel RV over a Class A Motorhome, Travel Trailer or any other type of RV for us to live in full time.

-----------------------------------

The first thing we knew we wanted when we began considering going full time was a rig with plenty of space.

This immediately eliminated everything other than:

Travel Trailers
5th Wheels
Class A Motorhomes

We started our search by hitting up some local dealers and walking through a few travel trailers, fifth wheels and Class A’s.

It immediately became apparent that we preferred 5th wheels over Travel Trailers hands down. So with that, travel trailers were eliminated...

When it came to Class A’s, we really liked the idea of a simpler setup. No hitching and unhitching. But that’s only without a toad. If you have a toad, you’re going to be “unhitching” it instead. So either way, you’re going to be pulling and unhitching something. That left our concerns with Class A's.

1. The windows are lower to the ground and smaller. Because of this, it feels less like you’re in a traditional home and more like you’re in a giant bus.

2. More chance for inconvenience. If your RV has a mechanical breakdown, your entire house is going to the shop. Class A, B and C’s have engines, transmissions, power steering pumps, water pumps, belts, pulleys, etc. This is all ON TOP of all of the actual “house” problems that every RV will eventually have. Murphy’s law. What can happen, will happen. So why not double your chances of not having everything down all at once by splitting the points of failure into two separate groups?

3. There were also other things to consider like cost, depreciation, etc. but those weren’t big deciding factors for us as much as they were potential bonuses. After all, we weren’t going mobile because it made the most financial sense. We were doing it for the freedom to roam and explore.

So knowing that we were leaning towards a 5th wheel we began walking through more and more of them at various dealerships. During each walkthrough we’d try to imagine what it would be like to live day in and day out in each of the layouts. We were especially looking for something that could accommodate a very functional office space. Where would we setup our computers in here? Is there even enough room?

While pretty much all 5th wheels were split into two main areas we began to notice there were some that were split into three separate areas. These were called Toy Haulers and they had a separate “garage” at the back of the unit (for bikes, ATVs, etc.) that also doubled as a second bedroom/entertainment room.

These really started appealing to us as we could imagine using the garage as a completely separate office space!

We began watching tons of YouTube videos, gathering a variety of other people’s perspectives, experiences, regrets, etc.

And then we found Chad and Tara from @ChangingLanes RV! They literally had a 5th wheel toy hauler with the garage converted into a his and hers office space. They had a washer and dryer. A king sized bed. A generator. Extra batteries. Plenty of room for tools. Boom. That solidified it. Their setup was perfect and I knew a 5th wheel toy hauler was going to work for us!

Huge shoutout to Chad and Tara for literally providing the foundational “proof of concept” for us to feel comfortable going all in on a full blown traveling home, office and garage!
