Travel Trailer or Fifth Wheel?

I'm looking to make my first purchase and going all-in as a full-timer. I will be solo and I have limited experience towing anything...as in NO experience ;). I've gotten contrasting opinions from dealership salesmen between the logistics of towing a TT or 5er. I will be purchasing a new tow vehicle to handle whatever trailer I decide upon. I figured there are probably some full-timers on here that have experience with both and didn't just read about it in the dealership brochure!

IMHO, in nut shell with out all the detailed explanations, Buy a 5th. wheel! 5th wheels are more stable when driving down the road are minimally affected by high winds and semi trucks passing you, easy to hook up. Buy a high quality 5th wheel hitch, don't try to skimp and save a dollar. If you buy new, negotiate with dealer to replace the original tires with good 10 ply, "G" rated tires. I like Good Year tires.
