What is the difference in lengths (other than 5') Well. the sites you can fit in, In some parks over 30 feet may have limited sites..
Most folks feel a 5th wheel is easier to pull and for sure to back up (though there is a way to make a TT tow like a 5er)
And .. Another item on length. I've towed many trailers, some short, Some medium some L O N G. and the longer the wheelbase (that is distance from hitch to wheels) the more time you have to correct for mistakes when backing up.
