Like the other said, the 5th tows nice with the weight over the rear axle as opposed to it hanging off the bumper. The backing and turning is different. After driving both quite a bit I can't say one was easier or harder... just different. In reading the posts about starting turns sooner/later/etc I suppose it's true. To me it's just something you figure out super quick, as in the first turn you make or the first time you go to back up. I had towed TTs first and I remember my first time with a 5th I had to pull forward and start again a couple times and then it's like second nature. One of those things you just have to do to understand what people are talking about.
