I think that towing with a SRW heightens your awareness about safety. I think about capacity numbers,,speed, assured clear distance, tpms, equipment condition and the like. If a DRW makes you feel like hey I got it - then in the end the safety record between the two may in favor of the SRW.
Now I’m not sure I believe what I just wrote above but it’s a good thing for all to consider. In General I’m not sure that a 5th wheel is for a beginning RVer that has never towed anything. Also all of us need to drive our tow vehicle all the time like we we will when towing and that way it will be easier when you are towing heavy to have a safer less tense experience better instincts.
