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...

1 - I've heard it is easier to back a longer wheelbase trailer; not more maneuverable, just easier to steer. I have no experience to judge that.
2 - If you're used to a bumper pull, be careful rounding corners: the FW will track inside the truck. I do have experience with this, unfortunately.
2 - When we moved from a 29' FW 11'2" high to a 31' FW 12'5" high and 1500# heavier, I thought we'd see MPG drop. In fact, the taller trailer gets about .5 MPG more, probably due to better streamlining of the front cap.
