I have had 5er and TT. Currently TT and often hook up solo. You really just get a feel for it. No back up camera necessary. I do like the convenience of a power tongue jack but that is for me more due to medical reasons. I do not find the hook up better or worse on the 5er or TT. Just different. One of the things I like about the TT is that I do not lose the truck bed to a big hitch. We have currently a 2012 Open Range Roamer 316 RLS TT and it is exactly the same size and floorplan as the 316RLS 5er so we went with the TT as that is our preference. No different to me.
