2. "Raising the trailer up 4 or 5 additional inches when disconnecting or hitch up. Lot of extra work on the landing gear and waiting to the trailer to go up and down slowly." Comment: Absolutely 100% untrue. The gooseneck unit hooks and rides the RV at the same level as a 5th wheel. I think you have the bed of the truck driving that issue! The landing gear works no less than or no more than a 5th wheel.
To unhook a 5th wheel trailer you raise it the 2 inches or so to take the wieght off the truck, unlatch and drive out.
Next time you are out, raise your trailer until the weight is just off the truck. Then release the gooseneck hitch, jump in and drive out from under the trailer. OH NO! Trailer has to raise the additional distance to clear the goose ball!!!!!
And where would I carry our golf clubs, as you can not really have a box mounted in the back on the bed.
