I enjoy making things efficient and can hitch/unhitch quicker with a travel trailer. Think about it. Which requires more blocking under the jacks? Twice as much for the fiver. Just one small difference. Those blocks must be placed and retrieved. Not a big deal with a helper, I admit.
My preference is a travel trailer.
Of course it needs more blocking because there are two legs instead of one jack leg but the fiver does not need stabilizers in the front either because of these heavy duty legs while the travel trailer does.
What size is your travel trailer?
I can hook up to my 24 foot travel trailer as fast as the fiver but not faster because I do not use or need a WD hitch with it..I am talking about a 30ft plus travel trailer versus a 30 foot plus fiver not baby campers.
My 30 foot Springdale fully loaded puts a hurting on the 2500HD springs..I would not go far without a WD hitch with it.Many of the plusher travel trailers have tongue weights of close to 1000 pounds empty,exceeding a class IV hitches rating unless you use a WD hitch.
If your trailer is smaller then I agree with you that they are close to equal in time hooking up but if it is larger,I don't agree...
No matter..Merry Christmas.
