If your DW has no experience with trailers, maybe you could borrow or rent a box trailer. She could get some towing experience with something smaller before pulling the 5er.
It may help her get accustomed to having something behind her and judging her turns, etc..
Towing a $20 a day U-Haul might be a great idea. Get some practice backing up the trailer, remember the secret to backing, by putting your hand at the bottom of the steering wheel, and then turn it the way you want the back of the trailer to go.
And if it is a open top u-haul, you can practically see over the top of it while backing up. Practice in a Wal Mart or mall parking lot before it gets crowded is a great idea.
