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...

Currently, we own a 23 ft (from end to tow bar) travel trailer. My husband says that a 5th wheel is easier to tow.
Years ago, we owned a 24 ft. 5th wheel and my husband remembers this as being easier to tow than the travel trailer we own now. I tell him that we were much younger then and not such nervous Nellies as we are now about towing. :R
We are considering selling our travel trailer for a 5th wheel, but I don't know if selling our travel trailer would be worth it. We do have sway control with this trailer.
Opinions? Experiences? Advice? Thank you!
A TT that size should tow like a dream behind almost any 1/2 ton vehicle---IF it is properly set up with a good sway control/weight distributing hitch, like an Equal-i-zer.
It would be a shame to get rid of the RV you have (if you are otherwise happy with it) without working on a good setup for it.
