Default C5 or 5th wheel toy hauler?

I was thinking today about every time we take the 5th wheel someplace, something is going to happen... blown fuse, burnt bulbs, scratch here ding there... flat tires, leaks.
I was also thinking that it kinda reminds me of getting out the C5 maybe there is more similarity than both having a 5 in the description.
I'm not sure which is the most reliable on being unpredictable. I for sure, can always expect the unexpected from both.
They keep me on my toes and I suppose it's good for brain stimulus to keep up with fixing both...
I can see a day when driving a Honda Civic to the Motel might be a simpler way to travel or enjoy an evening cruise... Might have to start playing Chess for more brain stimulus. If, I can just remember what pieces do what and go where...lol
Life is good

Not sure about your personal relationship with a Corvette, but for me since I was 18 every time I turned the key on one of my corvettes, my face would light up... not sure about your experience... but from my perspective a New 5th wheel would make things much less worry some for you, but not sure it would light up your face every time you turned the key ...

What I want is a 5th wheel I can put the vette in the back of. That would be a great match! And make for some great vacations...

I'll second that feeling, I love driving my C5, had 2 C2's, a C3 and when it makes sense hope to upgrade to a C7, every time I turn the key it feels great.

For me it's no contest. The C5 wins hands down.

A fifth wheel? That's like one step above camping. When your sleeping bags a tiltin' you can find me and my Vette at the Hilton. When you're tired of the diet, come and join us at the Hyatt!
