A FW puts more weight onto the towing vehicle than a TT does, so traction and stability of the tow vehicle would be better pulling a FW in cross-wind, or wet, or sleet, or snow conditions.
Also, a FW more evenly distributes it's weight onto the towing vehicle than a TT does (especially good if you use a 4X4 or all wheel drive tow vehicle) - unless you use expensive weight-equalizing hitches for a TT, which must be disabled when traversing off-highway on any roads with dips in them. A FW does not have any off-highway road dip problems using just it's standard tow vehicle hitch arrangement ... offering much more flexibility and convenience in a hassle-free ready-for-anything package.
We RV with a small Class C motorhome, but if we were to ever tow it would be a short FW - in the 26 to 27 foot range.
