Small FW Recommendations
I’m thinking about changing from our travel trailer (25’ Zinger) to a small FW around the same length, which is actually 29’ 6” total. I’m hoping that this might be a little easier and safer for me t...

I am solo and just went from a 31' fifth-wheel to a 26' travel trailer. I found the fiver to be a lot more effort and can set up the TT in about 1/2 the time. I do like the fifth wheel and it was very easy for me to back under and hook up.. the TT is a little more effort there, but a wireless camera should help solve that.
Maybe search 25' fifth wheels for sale on rvtrader.com and see what comes up? Or whatever size you would like?
So I ask because I don’t have a clue...what exactly took more effort with the FW versus the TT? This is exactly the type of info I’m looking for to help make the decision. Thanks!
I'm also puzzled why Karen would have more trouble hooking up a FW than a TT. Even if it =were= more difficult, the difference in towing stability with a FW over a TT is the #1 reason I knew that I didn't want a TT. I'd towed enough trailers to know that I didn't want to have to mess with an equalizer hitch if I went with a TT of the size I was looking for. (Also, since I needed to have a GN hitch to tow our GN trailer and desired a clean bed when not towing, going with the B&W Turnover Ball and Companion, gave me the best of all worlds.)
FWIW, look up some videos of how to hitch/unhitch FWs and TTs and compare the two.
