The wife and I are considering getting a 5th wheel.We now have a 35 foot TT. My question is do 5th wheels have the bow wave effect when trucks pass on the interstate? My TT has it when trucks pass by,...

I understand everyone's viewpoint on FW's towing much better than a TT, but unless you've towed also with a Hensley Arrow on your TT, you can't make a fair comparison. We towed a 32' Komfort with a GVWR of 11K with our F250 Short bed, 6.8L, V10. When we first purchased it, it was a nightmare towing it. White knuckle. We tried redistributing weight, partial tanks, full tanks, etc. and no avail. We bit the bullet (or pocket book) and purchased a Hensley Arrow and never looked back. The Arrow makes the sway an issue of the past and trucks passing? What trucks!? Hooking up takes practice, but so does hitching up a fifth wheel. Hensley offers a money back guarantee if you don't like it. We purchased the Hensley Helper to help fine tune hooking up. Having towed with a bad setup and with the best with a TT, switching to a FW to correct this problem is overkill when there is another solution with a money back guarantee if you don't like it.
