Learning curve? It all depends upon how much you do it? Tow your trailer only once a year and you'll probably never figure it out. Tow it every day, and you'll have it down "pat" in no time.
When you get your rig, before leaving the dealer parking lot, practice just moving round in the parking lot. Then drive to an empty school parking lot, and practice backing, turning, backing turning and you'll figure it out pretty quick.
There again, your learning curve all depends upon how often and how much you actually do anything. The important thing is, don't get overwhelmed, don't get frustrated, and don't let anyone rush you (even after 50 years of towing experience).
Also when practicing in the parking lot get like 4 to 6 of the cheep orange cones or organe 5gal paint pales from Lowes/HD and use them to form a lane a little wider than the trailer and maybe 1.2 the length. Then practice backing into that lane like you might have to do for a campsite. You can also use them a curb markers in an "L" the practice turning and learning how the trailer tracks relative to your TV when turning.
PRACTICE, PRACTICE, the PRACTICE more.
