5th wheel to TT ?
I've had 5th wheels for 15 years, and want to go smaller, and lighter. My question is if I stay under 30' will I notice much difference in towing. I know a 5er tows great, but I don't have any experie...

Travel trailer vs 5th wheel is really just a Ford/Chevy issue, ie: personal preference. I've had both and there are pros and cons to each of them. I currently have a 35ft travel trailer and we love it. I think hitch-up is a little easier with the 5er, but I personally like having the extra bed space for firewood, coolers, etc. Since the pivot points are in different locations, there is some difference in the way they track behind the TV around corners, and the TT will be a little quicker to respond to turning while backing up. Plus no worries about remembering to put the tailgate down prior to unhitching. Just be careful that you don't replace the head scars with shin scars from the hitch! But I agree with the previous poster, with that trailer, your truck, and the proper hitch set-up, you'll never know it's back there.
