5th wheel or gooseneck?
Do you guys have any preference for one or the other and why? Exploring my options for our future 5er.

We used to sell gun safes and did many area fairs and shows. At the time I had a gooseneck stock trailer that we hauled safes in and a fifth wheel camper.
It got to be a royal PITA to put the gooseneck hitch in, load safes, transport them to a show, then go home and change to the fifth wheel hitch, transport the camper to the show, then do it all over again when we were done.
I also learned to hate trying to align the gooseneck hitch and hook safety chains. I ended up changing the stock trailer to a king pin and never regretted it.
I know having the hitch in the truck is inconvenient, but with my puck system, I can take the head off and remove the hitch relatively easy (and I am 65 years old).
I am not much of a fan of hitching and unhitching a gooseneck trailer.
