TC vs Small 5th wheel
In researching smaller rv's the TC's TT's and short 5th wheels seem to have some advantages over larger RV's. Having never owned any of these, what I have surmised from this forum is if you want a TC ...

The idle time 24 ft 5th is what I was considering. It has enough interior space with the slide and light enough to be towed with the Ford 150. Having owned both is this 5th wheel much more difficult to travel with say cross country staying only a night or two in each location? Does the high CG of the TC around corners feel less stable than you 24 ft idle time? Said another way is towing your small 5th wheel on the hwy any different than hauling your TC?
You might want to check actual lengths of the 1/2 ton towable fifth wheels..I just looked at Jayco's(My favorite) HTX small 26RLX and the total length is over 31 feet...
Towing a fifth wheel is very stable,probably the most stable ride for an RV IMHO..The high center of gravity of a TC is a definite problem and why you see everyone here on this forum buying thousands of dollars of Torklift products to make them more stable..
Traveling on paved mountain roads in an RV can be challenging but the fifth wheel wins hands down for handling/cornering and sway..The only draw back to a small fiver is truck bed storage compared to a TT..
I am still paying from the wife for selling our fifth wheel...
