For those who say hooking up the 5th wheel is easier than a TT, can you elaborate? I've only owned my current TT so I don't have any point of reference.
Personally, I find the TT pretty easy to hook up BUT I also have a backup camera, so getting aligned with the ball is pretty easy.
Having owned both...
Getting to the ball (TT) or on the pin (5er) is about the same...most say easier bc you can "see" the pin. But with your camera you have the same effect.
But with the 5er you're basically done at that point. The jaws/bar slams shut (I add a lock to keep them so) secure your breakaway and umbilical and go. No WD bars to mess with, etc. For me, that (WD) was minor....but the process is still faster with 5er
