Opinion needed if you've owned a TT and a FW

Thanks for the info.
Can you or anyone else explain what is different or how it is different to back it up?

To me the main difference is the 5er reacts slower. You have to be patient and take your time. I actually watched some you-tube videos on how they backup. I would suggest you do the same, they were actually very helpful.

There are definitely pro's and con's to both. This is our first camper so until you own one and take it out a good year it's hard to know which type, which floor plan is the best for you. I feel this is why certain people trade a year or two later. When you haven't owned one it's hard to know which one is for you

Good idea, I'll watch some youtube videos. If we get a FW I will take a stab at driving. This TT we have, no way....I'll let my husband do that.
We got a 33ft TT with bunkhouse. I wish we had got a RL with double slides. My 11 yr old has no problem sleeping on a sofa bed. Half the time he doesn't want to sleep in the bunk room. Also, my husband is 6'3". He tried out many of the beds and showers of many TT that we looked at.....except the one we bought. Needless to say he is too big for both our bed and the shower/tub. We looked at like 6 different places over 2 months time so we didn't take it lightly but as first timers were obviously still naïve. Thanks again!

You are correct for some it takes a couple of trailers to find the right one. I have gone through 3 travel trailers in last 9 years trying to find the right floor plan. We decided to go with the 5er because it offered more space, and from what I had heard it tows and backs up much better. Just take your time in choosing what you want and what is right for your family.
