The reason I abandoned towing is, as I got older, my appreciation for just pulling into a spot and only have to do my hookups and push a levelling button increased a lot! Most of the time spaces are not long enough to stay connected so you have no choice but to immediately unhitch. If the weather is bad, that's something that you can't put off until the rain stops like just temporarily "boondocking" with your tanks, propane, and batteries until the cloud passes. I should also add we no longer drag a toad as that caused the same issues. Most all the "destination" RV places with things to do have an Enterprise car rental close by. Not having anything behind us makes parking and just general navigation in tight areas so much easier. One example is most Cracker Barrel restaurants have dedicated RV parking but in most locations they just designated two end to end spots as the "RV" spot. Fine for a motorhome or average bumper pull TT but with a 5th wheel you won't be eating there. As a motorhome owner I'm sure you reached the level of proficiency where you were never fearful of driving it around a corner where if you were pulling something, the need to back up if you encountered something that you could not get by would have cause a BIG problem.
