I'll be the dissenting voice- I went from essentially no towing experience to owning a 20' pop-up camper for a season (used from April to October for 30 nights) and then jumped up to a 42' fifth wheel. Based on a lot of reading and watching Youtube videos, the only "oops" moments were relatively minor.
Now, my first handful of parkings were an absolute **** show. :D
Given that you have experience with cargo trailers and maneuvering them, I'd say jump into what you think you'll need to be comfortable. Take it slow and try to learn as much as you can ahead of time.
