I feel my Equal-i-zer hitch is pretty simple to hitch. If I'm by myself, backing the truck under the hitch coupler takes longer than actually hitching.

We went the same rout last year. We had a nice large class C when the kids were growing. After the empty nest syndrome came we went with a TT. As with everything there are goods and bads. I miss the ease of "hitching up" the towed compaired to hitching up the TT. That is my biggest complaint. If some genius could come up with a simple hitch setup without bars and chains I would jump for joy. Other than that I love our TT.
Let me see if I can clarify my point. When I was towing my little Ford PU. I would drive the truck up behind the MH. Connect the ball to the stinger + the drag chains and off I go. Now I have to back the truck up, wiggle it around to get it in the right spot. Ball to stinger, 2 equalizer bars, 2 drag chains. Quite a bit of sweating and very dirty hands. Now with all that said, I do love my TT. Nothing in life is perfect, you take the best of what you have and enjoy! Do I want to go back to a MH? Nope, the truck is just to darn useful all the year round.
