Def. Ive driven goosenecks my entire life so I actually prefer

Why do campers not have gooseneck hitches? Makes much more sense than having that huge fricking hitch in your bed.
No idea boss. Interested to learn this too.

I wonder why 5th wheels are so much more popular? I guess becaude they are easier to hook up???

I had a little 19ft fifth wheel I bought from out west that was a super light mountain edition that set pretty high off the ground for clearance. Pulled it with my V6 tacoma. I could go places with that set up.

Cheaper. The fifth wheel hitch is a couple hundred bucks alone, plus the rails you get installed which is comparable to a ball for a gooseneck.

that's more of a vacation than camping trip. Just grab the peanut butter on the way out and it's a whirl of a good time.

Talking about it being easier than a gooseneck. Goosenecks can be a pita to hook up yourself.
Think I'm getting a goosneck if I ever get a camper. Already have the ball in my truck and having that monstous hitch frame in my truck would piss me off incredibly.

No. I bought from southern rv and theyve been great to deal with. I bought my keystone outback 312bh when the new models came out. I got a 2011 after the 12's came out. 12k off rebate they ran on the old year models. Just so happened the only one in the country left was in shreveport. I priced some used 2010's that were 5 and 6 more than I got mine for new. They have a southern rv in laff. too my neighbor bought from.

I figured they were a pita to take out since the people I know with 5th wheels seem to never take them out.

Only if you aren't used to towing it. BB using a 5th wheel and doesn't have a problem..and she's a girl.
