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...

Curious why you wouldn't lower the 5th by adjusting the pin box? Picture appears you have a ton of room between 5th and truck rails.
Because it is sitting level and has never been a problem in the 5,000 miles we have pulled it in the last year. It's like I said before, anyone with these high profile trailers need to watch what they go under. Several of the campgrounds we have been to seem to care less about low branches and that does not mix well with a rubber roof. We have also seen some service station canopies with 13 foot clearance.
It's your dice and your dime, but if my rig were taller than 13'6" which is the federal standard. I would make some adjustments.
Frankly 5K miles is not a lot of miles in the grand scheme of things.
The risk is just not worth it. Hitting an overpass would be disastrous.
