Say both are 40ft, the 5th wheel is being pulled by a long bed dually and the A class is towing a small toad, such as a Honda Fit. Which is easier to drive into a site where you expect tight corners? My common sense says 5th wheel is harder since the overall length is far greater but I see that some claims 5th wheel is easier.
Also, how about backing up into a tight site once you are there?
A toad behind a MH has to be disconnected to back into a site, that is much more work than just carefully backing the still connected fifth wheel into a site. Pull thru's? Perhaps that is another issue. As others have said it takes practice regardless what you are trying to put into a campsite. If you are good at it, they are all easy. If not too good at backing, they all are hard.
