Question for folks who've towed both 5th wheels and travel trailers. Greenhorn here. Wondering which you prefer to tow? And why? I'm looking for opinions about hooking up, driving, unhook, backi...

I have had both. First TT was in 1980's. Get a GOOD TT hitch like an Hensley or a ProPride. Sure they cost $ but not much more than a 5er hitch.
With a cheep TT hitch and a poorly loaded TT (yes I have had each) there will be lots of White Knuckle Events while towing.
With a good TT hitch there is really no reason to choose between a 5er and TT. They tow about the same. Each takes about the same time to "learn" how to hook up and back up.
On one trip with my Hensley Arrow a wheel can off my TT while I was driving 70 MPH. I did not know it until a car pass me and flagged me down.
Some people like Ford some like Ram and some like Chevy.
