Fifth wheel backing
First, I've been towing for 45 years, but it's always been a travel trailer. And, I was good, no brag, just fact. I remember parallel parking my van and 37 foot trailer at a parking area in Deadwood...

Check out the various backing videos on YouTube.
Sometimes it helps to "view" the methods and techniques,
rather than "read" about them.
Also, "Google" the subject. There's a lengthy description (with diagrams and info) intended for tractor/trailer operators.
On RV Net (5th Wheel Forum) - search the archives for *Backing*.
Been lots of methods described, including variations of the "Z".
And yeah - TT's always seemed easier to me.
You'll always hear...practice, practice, practice - - but do some research 1st.
Good luck!
