It's the most comfortable rig I've owned and now that I'm retired and live in it 7 months out of the year I'm glad we moved to the 5'er. Still have room in the truck bed for bunches of stuff especially if you get an Anderson Hitch. The hitch is easy in/out and only weighs 40lbs. The driving experience, 5th wheel vs. pull, is way nicer with the 5th wheel.
Having said all that if it was just me (no spouse or kids) my dream rig would be a Glacier Peak or Arctic Fox 5th wheel. I think they both come in 28' models, from sister companies. The Glacier is built in Oregon and has just about the same specs as the Arctic Fox. I'd have a receiver hitch on the RV and tow a small boat. The drawback to a 5'er as big as mine is I'm over the length limit for most states triple towing laws.
