5th wheel, much safer on the road IMO
I know people will disagree but I feel like every time I see a broken down camper when traveling or read something about an accident for me, it's always a TT. My husband broke his ankle and after a month of laying around he wanted to go camping. Against my better judgement we went. I had a very hard time doing the things he does to hook up the TT and also didn't know how to do them although I watched him do it for a year. We bought our first camper (TT) last year. We never looked at FW because of price. I'm starting to wish we got a FW.
Usually the people that have never towed a 5er will say the TT tows just as good with the proper setup.
I totally disagree. To "handle" a TT you need some mass on the ground to control the sway that there TT's will give.
This makes a lot of sense to me.
Ever wonder why people say we upgraded or stepped up to a 5er? There are many reasons. One biggie is with the TV matched to the 5er it is a very stress free experience.
