-The bow wave I experienced when the big rigs blew by became
non-existent with the 5ver.
-backing up .... no verbage helps..... practice , early and often.
-do whatever it takes to make the rig(s) ride level ...many benefits,
few negatives.
-checklists... always.
-healthy respect for the 5ver hitch... appendage eater.
-everybody verifies the levelers are down, tail gate down , and tire chocks in place before TV disconnect.
Good luck
