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 ...

One very important difference that is rarely mentioned is that probably a 5th wheel places much more weight on the towing truck's rear drive wheels than a tow trailer does.
What this means is that traction when pulling a 5th wheel off-pavement may be a lot better than when pulling a tow trailer off-pavement.
For boondocking use, I'd definitely go the 5th wheel route - although a SMALL 5th wheel ... not one of the big tall and long units.
