Part of the reason I am even considering a fifth wheel is for the ease of hook up..(versus a TT)
I've read this a 100 times on this forum that TT are hard to hitch up. I don't get it? So much in fact that the last 3 times I hitched upi my TT, I got out a stop watch and timed myself. It took me less than 3 minutes to hitch up and go.
Line up the TV, reverse, drop the TT, hook up chains/WDH/electrical and go. It takes me 2 shots to line up the TV using the side mirrors.
Am I missing something here? Why do so many people say it's so difficult?

It's not so much the time involved for me. Rather, I can't leave my 1440# Equal-I-Zer WDH hanging off the end of the truck after dropping the camper. The tailgate can't be fully lowered, and it gets in the way of loading/unloading the bed. And would be a pain when parking anyway.
Taking that heavy hitch off and putting it back on is a big hassle as I get older. The rest is easy, especially with an electric tongue jack.
