Class A vs Fifth Wheel: We Were Wrong About Some Things

Are you trying to decide between a Class A Motorhome and a 5th Wheel? After 5 years in a Grand Design Reflection and a year in our Holiday Rambler Endeavor (Eleanor), we’re sharing the brutal truth about which is actually better for full-time RV life. In this video, Mike and Shelley K break down the real-world differences between traveling in a 5th wheel vs. a Class A diesel pusher. We cover everything from the stress of driving and the ease of setup to those "first-world" luxuries like heated floors and residential fridges. Whether you're a weekend warrior or planning to go full-time, this RV comparison will help you decide which rig fits your travel style. In this video, you’ll learn: Driving Experience: Why the air ride in a Class A is a game-changer compared to a one-ton truck. Setup & Breakdown: How we went from manual stabilizers to "one-button" leveling. Living Space & Comfort: The reality of induction stoves vs. propane and why we miss (and don't miss) our 5th wheel kitchen. Travel Day Secrets: How we handle pit stops, fuel at truck stops, and why "Passenger Princess" life is better in a motorhome. Maintenance & Costs: The truth about RV insurance, tire costs, and service accessibility. Join the Conversation: Have you switched from a 5th wheel to a Class A, or vice versa?
