Are fifth wheels easier to tow than travel trailers?
Never towed a fifth wheel, so I was wondering if folks could lend some opinions.
Forum Discussion
Other than the normal better towing characteristics I really like fact that I can walk between the 5th wheel and truck when hitched. I always hated trying to step over the coupler of a TT if I needed to get to the other side. If you don't have 4-6pt leveling on your 5th then it's likely you'll be doing some back and forth walking around while leveling and unhitching.
With a 5th you can cram the truck right under the over hang if needed for a short spot but still be able to walk between.
That and it's IMO easier and less cumbersome to hitch and unhitch. No sway bars or chains. You do have to hookup the safety line for brakes but it's way easier than cranking sway bar chains.
