Interested in 5th wheel

My wife and I are interested in getting back into RVing
we are considering a 5th wheel as we used to have a tag along ultralight.
we had some issues and learned from it. Overall it was a GREAT experience.
So hoping you guys can STEER me in the right direction. Main things I would like this to have LOW center of gravity, axles that are rated higher than what is recommended. and a roof or cover that folds over the walls. The last camper our only one had roof that joined at corners and edges , it had trim and sealnt but still leaked. We do not need any FRILLS, like quartz countertops etc. We simply want to be comfortable on our travels and just sleep and eat. We would not be spending much time in it.
I am looking forward to our new endeavors and hope you guys can get us started. Also looking foward to talking with you guys.
Thanks

First off welcome back to rving. You need to define what you want in a rig. Full time, part time, weekends, some longer trips, etc. Then what type of tow vehicle do you have or are you planning on buying one. Once you have a truck then you can begin to look at the weights you can tow (don't lock at dry weights or unloaded weights) no matter what the salesperson says. Then go look at rigs and determine what you like and don't like. What you like I may not like and my needs are different then yours. Also make sure you have your budget set (if you need to). I spent a year looking at rigs until I found mine. I made sure I have a truck that could pull it, didn't know a couple of months later I would upgrade, but not big deal. Then buy it and enjoy it. Good luck in your search.
