Travel Trailer vs 5th wheel

Due to my experience with different hitch set ups. I was the vice president of Hensley Mfg for 10 years.

alright, we could have saved a couple of post going back and forth...do you want to explain why one is better than the other. i'm not being a smart ***. i'm very happy with my set up and would like to learn why one is better than the other. posting a statement like "used to be but not anymore" really serves no purpose. an explanation helps...again, not being a smart ***, just looking for good info. thanks.

That's the reason for me being vague. I don't want to step on any forum rule toes. I'm not trying to be smart either... just attempting to clarify. I use my real name on all forums for that very purpose. I'm not hiding anything.

We went through the same pro's and con's when we bought our new 5er a few years back. A 35' tt model had the space we needed but seemed more suited for a seasonal site. They had the same size floor plan in a 32' fifth. ( 35'tt has the same box length as a 32 5th) Then when we consider what's over the bed it ends up being about the same as a 29'tt when figuring the overall length of truck and trailer. Our old tt was under 30', I didn't want to go much bigger with the long trips we had planned so more trailer in less space really sold us.
We lost the p/u bed space but have plenty of camper storage. The high ceiling inside makes it even better, especially in the shower. We also have the short bed p/u, been cross country twice and as mentioned by others, in all sorts of tight spots without a problem. Just need to be aware of tight turns and the height at times.
Tows nice and straight. Maneuvers well. Easy to forget it's there.
