It will be interesting to see which responders have experience with BOTH types and which responders just have opinions. First let me disclose that I have only experience with a 45' class A as a DRIVER. DW and I have our signals pretty well worked out and we can get it parked with relatively little problem.
However as a camp host, I have a lot of experience getting both class A drivers and 5th wheel drivers into their spaces. My observations are that the 5th wheel folks have the most trouble correctly maneuvering their rigs. The question is: who buys a class A vs. who buys a 5er? It could well be that the demographic that is attracted to 5th wheels just doesn't have enough experience backing trailers. Who knows?
It will be interesting to see the responses from the people who have driven both.
