Of 6 trailers, the last 5 have been 5th wheels. I got my first 5th in 1973 when they were first coming out. We have been to some places while towing, and wanted to take a side trip in a park that was not trailer friendly. I can have trailer unhooked in about 2 or 3 minutes, so we can sightsee in the truck, and reconnected in about the same time and on our way. The stability in towing is superior to a conventional WD hitch, even being "pushed" down a hill by trailer you never feel like you are loosing control. Never have a sway problem when being passed by big trucks also:)
