I'd much rather tow a fifth wheel all over the place than a TT (I've owned multiples of both, and have a 24' offshore boat on bumper pull so still bumper pull regularly).

One other thought I didn't mention is I don't like what the hitch might do to my truck bed, and I've heard of a few mishaps hooking up a fifth wheel on this forum.
You're not any more likely to drop a fiver than you are to side swipe a lamp post, street sign, or other car. That is to say that as long as you pay attention, it won't happen. Worrying about that is a far-fetched excuse not to get one. It's even easier to pay attention here: you aren't moving when hooking up, and, depending on the hitch have (varying degrees of) clear indicators of successful connection.
