Travel trailers tow as well as a fifth wheel given the truck, trailer, and hitch are set up properly.
People think a fifth wheel can't sway and that is simply not true. Fifth wheels tend to not sway because of the incredibly heavy pin weight (20- 25 ish % of the trailer weight rating is on the pin). Travel trailers tend to run 12-15% ish on tongue weight.
I personally like travel trailers because they generally have a lower center of gravity, the attachment point is lower to the ground (easier for me to reach) and I can still use the bed of my truck while pulling.
thanks!
