Travel Trailer vs 5th Wheel
We are beginner rvers and are looking at both tag along travel trailers and 5th wheels. We do not want anything too big. I am retired and 70 years old. My wife is 60. We don't have a tow vehicle ...

I wouldn't put too much emphasis on steps as a deciding factor. Most newer travel trailers are 3 steps to get in and out, so if you have a real issue with steps you need to reconsider the RV lifestyle first.
That said, it's mostly trade offs. The biggest difference is a 5th wheel setup will typically be a bit more expensive but will tow much nicer. Not that a TT is dangerous or difficult to tow or anything.
Steps can matter when it comes to the difference in a 5er vs tt obviously. My 5er has 3 for entry and 3 for bedroom inside.
My point is: If the 3 interior steps will be an issue, odds are the 3 exterior steps will be an issue. If the exterior steps aren't an issue, odds are the interior steps won't be an issue either.
I'm just thinking of our use. I go to the front of the 5th wheel 2-3 times per day. I go in and out the door probably twice that. YMMV
