This is more up to the driver's experience. But since I have zero experience in either, I'm on equal terms with both. In such case, it is easier to pull into the tight turns using 5th wheels + truck than A class + toad. For backing up, 5th wheel + truck is harder than A class without toad attached.

What I don't understand is how come truck + 5th wheel is easier to pull in if their total length is MUCH longer than the A class + toad? I understand that the 5th wheel has a hitch in the middle but I would think the total length matters...
since you can always drop the toad before backing, the Class A should be the easiest to maneuver. by trying to back the toad you complicate the matter.
