For our needs ( just the two of us ) and we did have two beautiful chow chows that traveled with is till we lost both this year our 34 foot fifth wheel is all we need.

I have no concerns with getting in and out of gas stations and such.

But your needs are different from ours since you are full time in your setup.

Now way would I consider a fifth wheel larger than what I have now with our SRW truck.

You will need a Dually or 1 ton SRW with that larger fifth wheel. Period.

And if I could not afford a new or newer truck of the needed tow capacity for the larger fifth wheel then I would simply have to stay with what I had.

For us being retired and at now age 69 I am not investing money in a new RV or new truck. The cost for either is insane and the build quality is worse now then it was 10 years ago.

If I did not have or could not afford the proper truck I would never depend on having to have my RV towed by someone else..

But we all have to make life decisions daily and I hope that whatever choices you make work out for the best
