If I were looking for something around 30'-33', I'd probably prefer a TT. The bed of the truck stays empty and a properly set up WD hitch makes it just as stable and easy to pull as fifth wheel.
The only real reason I prefer a 5er is size. I can't imagine towing a 43' TT.
Even at 30' to 33' a 5er is a big advantage, FAR more stable, inherently more stable!! With a TT even with a Hensley when the deification hits the rotary oscillator, the true pivot point is still 3' to 4' behind the rear axle! That will push the back one way and force the front the other way. I took too many engineering classes in school.
The step issue, I partly solved our issues by adding steps! Made each step smaller. added a step into the bedroom level and replace the three step entrance with a four step that all the risers are the same height.
