In the old days a MH was easier to setup than a TT. The TT setup would take an extra half hour or so when compared to a MH.
Now days, it's pretty much an even playing field... If you get a TT equipped with auto levelers.
Hitching and unhitching is easier now with the electric tongue jack.
As far as electric, water and sewer connections the MH & TT are the same.
So the only real difference is the hitching and unhitching time wise. An extra 10 minutes for the TT.
Towing can be learned and becomes second nature with practice. There are towing classes available; do an online search or attend a large RV show. I take my new trailers to a big empty parking lot and practice, including parking in tight spots (use boxes or cones to mark the space) and panic stops.
A 25ft TT with a crewcab pickup, suburban type truck or fullsized van would be a perfect combination for your family. Once you get camp setup you have the tow vehicle to use for getting around/ sight seeing.
