Well, I will be the contrarian. I love my bumper pull trailer, and wouldn't consider another fifth wheel. The fifth wheel was much, much heavier, with a higher profile that limited it on certain forest service roads and rural underpasses. (It needed 13'4" clearance) It was important not to mentally not let the fifth wheel "get ahead" of you. Slowing down BEFORE starting down a steep grade was important, and on winding narrow roads the fifth wheel would "cut the corners" too much.
BTW, I had a 35' Keystone toy hauler. It was great to live in, but too much to haul around. About 14-15K pounds loaded.
I currently tow a 30" bumper pull Cougar. I can load two ATV's or even my side by side on the truck and still tow the camper. The 30' bumper pull has as much living space as the 35' fifth wheel. I am towing about half the weight of the fifth wheel, and can get the bumper pull into the mountains pretty deep.
I used a one ton Ford or Chevy to tow. I have towed trailers my entire life, from small tent trailers to construction equipment. I preferred the Anderson hitch for my fifth wheel trailer, but use an equalizer hitch on most of my bumper bull units. Never worried about backing up, and love the convenience of still having a functional truck, that I can load with whatever.
