5th wheel or TT?
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...

So to answer OP's question, and focus on towing, not comfort, or stairs (or lack thereof) etc..
I've owned both. Currently on my first 5er.
I prefer the 5er towing experience. TT tow experience was fine when trailer is setup properly, but 5er is more stable in my opinion, especially in windy conditions.
Backing up - 5er is different. Took me some time to get used to it. Not really more difficult, just different. Think the TT reacted quicker to input.
Turning - 5er turns INSIDE the track of the truck. So, you have to take turns wider to avoid curbing the tires.
Other than that, pretty much 6 of 1, half dozen of another.
