Guess I'll be the opposite view. A fiver is slower to react due to the pivot point. The tow vehicle has to move further to get the trailer turning and sometimes that extra space is not available. Like trying to back off a 2 lane road with no shoulders and deep ditches. Course the single driveway had the same deep ditches then a tree lined road. Finally, a mailbox opposite the driveway wouldn't even allow the bumper to overhang the ditch. 30 ft TT no problem but it took me a dozen attempts to get a 30 ft fiver backed into the driveway (even had to trim a few tree branches). True, you can jack-knife a fiver sharper than a TT, if you have the extra space. But there are no absolutes when it comes to what will work best.
