Compare and Contrast TT's and 5er's
I have towed Travel Trailers for over 40 years and just switched to a 5th wheel for the first time. Everyone Camping World kept telling me that I will love the 5th wheel because it is so much easier ...

Backing ability - or lack thereof:
Tractor trailer drivers have been successfully backing 40' (and longer) 5th wheel trailers into narrow loading docks more years than you (or I) have been on this earth!
One might argue that with shorter trailers that a TT might be easier to back than a fifth wheel...(see post above about the effect of tail swing) and the fact that it's a fifth wheel means it might be several feet shorter from a wheelbase standpoint...thus a double dose of reduced response.
The OP's comment, while a bit over stated, is fairly valid.
