5th wheel hands down... Handling is what you get used to. It took a while to get good at backing the 5th wheel, but like the trailer, that did too at the beginning. My 5th wheel is much heavier than the trailer, but It seems to be a simpler process than the trailer ball hook up and stabilizers. We also prefer the higher ceiling in the 5vr. Trailers are generally shorter and lighter, but it's what you prefer that counts.
What he said. Also, I towed the new fiver through PA in the pouring rain through construction. I was not "beat" or wore out when it cleared up like I have been with a TT. Heck, my mileage went up about .8 mpg to 1 mpg more towing the fiver and it is probably 2000 lbs heavier. From 7.8 mpg to 8.8 (and even 9 mpg at some points) is a big difference.
No sway when towing even when trucks pass....no clunkign or popping when backing up or turning. Set upa nd breaking down camp go fater too.
