Towing a mid-profile vs a full-profile 5er?
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...

We bought our Full profile because I'm 6' 4" and wanted headroom in the bedroom. :) Actually, made shopping and choices a LOT easier because that's the first place I would walk and then walk right back out of the mid-profiles.
As mentioned the only difference I can think of is actually in the HEIGHT that you will want/need to pay attention to branches, wires, etc. I have changed the exit route from the neighborhood because of the additional height. I typically prefer getting onto the main thoroughfare at a traffic light. The street we used to go down with the light at the intersection had a LOT of low-hanging wires going across the street. Instead of getting a tape measure out and a long stick, I decided to turn the other direction and go down a different street with no wires to access the main highway. Technically, the wires should be 13'6" or higher but last year there was a wire pulled off the pole and an RV antenna laying beside it on the street. So I'm not going to chance it.
There's always a way..... so to speak.....
