It's all about how much you want to pay. Extremely high dollars for a MH option - purchase price, insurance, weight, DMV registration (in some states), repairs, maintenance, parts, labor costs, a toad (and its numerous expenses) and a major advantage of convenience or lesser dollars for a fifth wheel. Even an older MH would be more expensive to own than a newer fifth wheel except maybe purchase price and insurance. My reasoning for me, is that being retired and having plenty of time, convenience is not important and I didn't want the potential other expense problems with ownership for an older MH.
I am a tight wad with lots of time on my hands so guess what I picked. Even with my 10 year old fifth wheel the costs associated with it are still less than my friends who now have 10 year old MHs.
