HELP! Is towing a 5th wheel easier?
Not wanting to start an argument here, but would really like some insight, both pros and cons of towing a 5th wheel vs. a travel trailer. Currently, we own a 23 ft (from end to tow bar) travel traile...

My DW will tow and back our 5th. She refuses to tow, let alone back, my boat using the same tow vehicle.
The 5th cuts corners a lot less, does not get knocked around as much by passing trucks, and reacts quicker to direction changes when backing, making backing easier since you don't have to anticipate as much. The only down side for her is the much increased side and front area between a boat and the 5th, making strong winds a noticeable issue. But I would rather be driving a 5th in wind than a trailer any day!
Yes it does. For a given size of flat area facing the wind they all move the same. MH, TT, 5ver. In a 5ver you just don't feel that movement while sitting in your PU. Try riding in that 5ver on a windy day. Sitting in that PU gives you a false sense of security.
