First off, THANK YOU for your service.

Second, welcome to the forum!

Third, which model 2014 are you looking for comparisons to. The same model of the 2015?

Army - first THANK YOU for your service and welcome home Hero!

Question: What are you going to be using to pull your 5er? We really need to know your TV (Tow Vehicle) before loading you down with a 5er

Edit: Oh and Disabled? How will this impact your RV Experience? This makes a difference on what rigs you get as well Battle Buddy!

OK Army - so you got the TV to pull pretty much anything

Next question - what do you want to do with your rig? Are you going out for weeks? Weekends? Fulltimer? Just you and the Frau? You said toy hauler - what toys are you hauling?

For me and 6 Actual, our 5er is our retirement casa - perfect size and should do us until we get too old and tired to tow

Let us know about the above brother and I bet there are folks on the forums that own the rig that will be right for you and can tell you all about it!
