Would you recommend a 5th wheel for me?
Hello, I'm retiring next year and want to hit the road. I've done a lot of RVing in my life, but always as the passenger in someone else's rig. This time I want to go solo. I'm a 50 year female. ...

if I were single and no traveling companions who could make sure I did not back into things I would go for a MH.
I guess I am a bit clueless, but...why do you need someone to help you avoid backing into things with a 5th wheel but you do not need the same with a MH+toad?
As someone else alluded to in another post, backing a MH is just like backing a car. Yes it is longer and wider but still backing is pretty easy. Whereas backing a TT or a fifth wheel trailer everything is backwords. And depending on how big the trailer is backing can take a fair amount of real estate to maneuver in. You do not back a toad, you stop drop and then back the MH in. Then move the toad out of the road way. Two steps for sure. But with a bit of practice dropping a toad should take no more than three minutes. Hooking up about the same I would imagine.
