Would you recommend a 5th wheel for me?

For a single person, especially a female person I would suggest a motor home and a small toad. The motor home would be easier to back in without the aid of a spotter and a suitable toad would give you a economical vehicle to run around in. Class A, Class C is your choice.
Do not underestimate an woman's capability. After a 30 year break from camping I started with a slide in truck camper, then a 28 foot jayco 5th wheel in, an a few days ago a 33 foot Alumalite in less than 3 years. I am sure that with my bum back and 2 bad knees there are a lot of woman that are in better physical shape than I am and I do well hooking up and towing on my own.
the 5th wheels are probably the easiest to hook up because the "V" guides the pin into the jaws.
I taught myself how to tow and back up 30 years ago but if I were to do it over I would take some kind of driving / towing lessons.
