Fifth wheel or travel trailer?

Regarding the TT vs 5er: the equivalent length 5th wheel will have an overall shorter length for the entire rig right? So, doesn't that equate to getting into tight(er) campground spots easier than the TT?

Except that a TT responds faster to steering inputs because the pivot point is away from the back axle of the TV. But really, there are way too many variables to make a generalized statement about either. In actuality the most important variable would be length vs. maneuvering room. Given enough maneuvering room, I can put a 40-footer of either one anywhere with 3 inches to spare on each side. Not enough maneuvering room and you couldn't get a 20-footer half way in.
