I've towed both. I would say 5vers are easier to hook up. Sway? Every high profile vehicles sway. You don't feel the sway as much, if at all, with a 5ver. That doesn't mean they don't sway. If they didn't sway youldn't have to tie down things. I would say if you took a first time RVer they would get in less trouble with a 5ver. Probably because more weight is on the PU. A TT having less weight on the tow vehicle could get in trouble easier with weight and balance problems. The back wheels of a 5ver cut the corner a little tighter. Backing is just getting used to whatever you are towing. If I was going to a towed vehicle again it would be a 5ver over a TT but also being aware it sways and gives you the illusion that it is not moving around. My 5ver hitch rotated foward and backward. Also side to side. If I were to go to a 5ver again I would purchase the highest weight rating hitch I could find. I would not buy a cheapo hitch. JMHO.
