Is it easier to haul a mid vs full profile fifth wheel? We never owned one...not even a TT, so we feel intimidated about pulling period, so we want to buy one that would be the easiest for a beginner to deal with.
There are a lot of the lighter FWs out there that I would consider "mid-profile", being right in the 12' range...with a single A/C. You add a 2nd A/C, and you're now bumping into full-profile range. To me, "full-profile" is anything 13' or over. Currently, we have a low-profile, and trying to sell it as crawling into bed, literally, is really getting old. As others have said, you get used to it pretty quickly, no matter what you get. My next FW will be over 2' taller, so I know I'll have some adjustments to make, mostly in looking UP. :-)
