Running a setup that you have to "manage" fresh water loading prior to leaving home is silly.
A small 5th wheel is a nicer trailer to tow than TT but choices will be much more limited.
In the Time Before All Common Sense Was Lost the SK Canada DOT published you could tow "manufacturers recommended trailer weight" on the receiver hitch, but up to 1.5 times that weight by 5th wheel connection over the rear axle because of the better weight distribution and handling of a 5th wheel/gooseneck type trailer...
