My husband and I have surfed the internet looking at each make and model of 5th wheel and TT we might be interested in. We are carefully winnowing down the list of possibilities. Two main factors we used to illiminate models was #1 Floor plan #2 R-factor. When there was a tie, we used Weight factor to determine. Now I have a question concerning TT vs. 5th Wheel.
My husband said he believes we are most likely going to start with a TT because that seems to be the most feasible. He thinks 5th Wheels are too heavy and hard to tow. Now we are going to start using a borrowed 5er to get some experience and the feel of things. I know experience and time will only tell. But TT are lighter in weight than 5ers. Question: Which ultimately is the easiest to use, tow and hitch. I heard TT's sway especially in windy weather. We plan on using it mainly on the west coast with Santa Ana's at times. Of course, with strong Santa Ana's whipping up we would probably cancel any travel plans.
I also checked out a special hitch that is supposed to cut down on fishtailing called the Hensley Arrow. That would be for a TT. Does anyone have any prior experience or knowledge with the Hensley Arrow Hitch?
Also, what is the difference of having the weight completely in back of your tow vehicle verses having some of it on top of your rear axle?
