Still struggling with the choice. The smallest Class A we like would be either a 41 ft Fleetwood Discovery 40g or a 43 ft long tag axle Newmar. The toy haulers we're considering are either a 36 ft ...

I. I would rate a 5er the worst for maneuverability and a TT better and a MH the best. The problem with a 5er is it does not track as well as a TT...it cuts the corner while the rear overhang of a TV makes a TT follow the TV better.
Occasionally with a MH I've had to do a two point turn... you star the turn too late requiring you to back up a little before finishing the turn. This lets you make a turn even a TT could not make.
Doing something wrong then, the FW is much easier than a TT. Class A is super easy....

Apples to apples, same length TT versus FW, say 30FT TT and a 34FT FW, I will take the FW all day over a TT for backing into a space. The only thing more difficult is the height of a FW. Pretty tall versus a TT.
Doesn't really matter now, I will take a 40+ft Class A over anything for maneuverability.
