We looked for over a year. First 5th wheel we looked at was a Montana but I had others in mind. We originally decided on the Lakota and the Medallion. These were the ones that we used as a comparison for other units. After a year of comparing and reading we went with the Montana. Reasons: Tow Weight, Storage, Kitchen size (counter space in the 3400), ventilation (condensation and roof venting), insulation (roof, walls and floor), livability of the floor plan. Quality of construction seemed to be the same in most units we looked at except maybe the Travel Supreme (but high priced and heavy). Once you find a 5th wheel you like look some more and compare, we are glad we did.
For a tow vehicle, like others have said buy biggest you can afford. But keep in mind it may also be your primary vehicle. We started looking a short bed one tons but decided that for easy of towing we would get a long bed, the little extra length was easy to get use to. For the easy of driving reason, we went with the single rear wheels rather than the dually. With the Medallion and others we looked at we would have had to go with the dually to tow them, another reason for our choices.
Good Luck in your search for your new home. The looking is almost as fun as the using so take your time and compare well, as mentioned the decisions you make now will affect your livability in the future.
