So my questions:
1) am I nuts going from a 5th wheel to a TT
YES, absolutely! All TT owners are nuts! lol
With my limited 5th experience, TT has lower ceiling, and the "feeling" of being smaller.
2) Equiped with a hensley or ProPride hitch, can I expect reasonable similar towing behavior to my Trail Air Tri Glide Equiped 5th wheel?
Everyone I've talked to and everything I've read says that 5th wheels tow nicer. With the TT, weight distribution with the TT is EVERYTHING. Not just a "weight distributing" hitch (which you should have), but also where the weight is in the trailer - too much in the front or too much in the back will change towing characteristics. With our smaller TT I put blankets and sleeping bags in the front of the TT just to get that little bit more tongue weight, seems to help with ease of towing. You will figure out what works for your setup.
3) How about mileage? Will I see a drop going to a TT?
If anything, you might see an increase in fuel mileage. The TT will probably be a bit lower and possibly less wind resistance. But don't expect a substantial increase.
Any inputs would be appreciated...
Thanks
Dan
