Newbie-How hard is it to hitch & unhitch a 5th Wheel?
I am considering full timing & like the set up in a 5th wheel. How hard are they to learn to hitch & unhitch. I'm a 5'2' lady & have only towed a race car years ago. Would like your thoughts.

As mentioned before- some hitches are easier to hookup than others. I recently interacted with 4 different delivery drivers for my camper. One had to "really hit the pin hard" to get hitched up; another had concerns that his pin was bound in the hitch and he'd have to rock the truck a little (or something) to get unhitched. Get a more expensive hitch and your worries there go away - my B&W hitch can be hitched up at all sorts of angles; I've never had to worry about unhitching; and, hitching up is a gentle process.
The Wheel/Tire Step suggestion is an awesome one. It should get you up high enough. If not, a 3-step ladder in the back of the truck will do the trick.
I have 100% faith that my wife could hitch up, unhitch and tow with no issues. There's no strength needed- it's all finesse.
