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 ...

Parking and fueling is also much easier with the TC because I can fill up at a convenience store and park in a normal parking space. I don't hesitate to pull into McD's for a mid morning sausage/biscuit and coffee but might hesitate with the 5th. No question about the comfort at night and no climbing up into bed at night.
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?
I installed a "Sidewinder" pin box on the Idle Time RKS so there is no worry about blowing a truck back window when turning/backing. Backing still takes more truck movement than a TT. The TC rides smoother because there is no bridge "chucking".
As I previously mentioned, two different RV units for two completely different travel/camping situations.
