Not sure I could give up the flat floor and the 2-3 steps it takes to get in the TT "just like at home".
I know how to set up a TT to pull well and I like the overall lower profile.
I also like the fact that I can use a smaller, more DD friendly TV... And still pull a good sized RV.
Hitching up was what I consider work with the TT until I bought a power tongue jack, then there was no problem hitching up. I like that the WD hitch came apart in smaller manageable pieces that were easy to store.
With all that said, fivers are very nice and have a lot of benefits that have been very well laid out here. Travel Trailers have their place too and are the go-to unit for many people.
The word Upgrade may be appropriate for some Fivers, but not all. TT may be considered entry level by some people but there are some pretty nice Travel trailers. Palomino Sabre and Jayco Eagle make some nice TT's.
Fivers are not as sensitive to tongue weight as tag along type trailers are.
Both can pull well, both can pull terribly.
I lean Tag along, that doesn't mean I will never own a fiver.
Thanks!
