Just made the switch ourselves. We're exceptionally happy with it, for all the reasons brirene mentioned. Tows easier. I can hook/unhook by myself. No heavy weight distribution hitch to lift in the truck bed when we're done. More storage room. More room inside.
The one downside is more due to size than type. We went a fair amount bigger. That crosses a lot of Forest Service and State Park camp sites off our list, due to length. A smaller fiver would have helped with that, but the DW wanted the room. We'll go smaller someday once the kids have moved out of the nest.
