Travis trailer vs 5 th wheel
My husband and I have always been motorhome people but we are thinking about getting a pull trailer. Leaning toward a travel trailer since we already have a truck to pull it without having to set up ...

I would use a 250/2500 series truck with a weight distributing hitch.
Go to etrailer.com to research various WD hitches . The site also shows videos of how they work as well as the installation/adjustment process.
TT vs is really personal choice. A 35 ft TT takes up more combined towing length than a 35 ft 5th wheel because the 5th wheel is over the rear axle of the truck opposed to hanging off the rear bumper.
5th wheels have steps inside, so people with bad knees etc often switch to TT's where a flat floorplan (like a ranch house) is easier to get around inside.
5th wheels also have beefy frames and beefy rear bumpers with hitch platforms to haul bicycles etc. TT bumpers tend to be a tad flimsy.
Many people like the stable way the 5th wheel tows , however, a properly set up TT using a WD hitch can be just fine.
