John,
We did the same thing. On one hand I could make a really good arguement for the HDT/5er and then I could make just as good an arguement for the MH. I have plans for a custom-built 45' "stacker" from Featherlite. It has 3 slideouts and a rear lower garage with a bedroom above. It would have been a really neat trailer with a ton of lower storage. I would have then taken a Volvo 780, added a rear deck to it and redo the sleeper interior so that it would have 2 couches along the sides and all sorts of other goodies. Or I would have had a short toter built on a Volvo.
Then I came up with the idea to use the lower rear garage in a new Kingsley as a dual purpose area...we could haul our alpacas or the kids toys (i.e. bikes, golf cart, etc) in it depending upon where we were going. We could then also have a either a car hauler or a stacker trailer in tow for a daily driver and more storage or we could just tow our suburban behind.
In the end the MH idea won out but you never know.
