By the 4th day of hauling one you will almost be a pro at it!!!..........its like anything, approach it with the will to learn it and you will............approach it with the fear of failure and it will defeat you.......approach it like you know it all, and good insurance is a must if you make it thru it!!!!!!

My former partner had a 40 foot 5th wheel toy hauler. He also had a lot of health issues. So I did most of the pulling, set up work for a while. It's completely doable by yourself and as a woman. In fact, I almost just bought a 38 foot 5th wheel for myself. I wouldn't hesitate about it.

With one exception. If you plan on doing a lot of overnight walmart / truck stop stays I might consider a motorhome for security reasons. But only if this is regular event for you would I let it influence my choice.

There is no difference in woman or man in hooking up or setting up a rv. You back up, make sure the latch is closed, check lights and you go. On set up, you level, hook up water, power, sewer, etc and your done. Nothing that requires heavy muscle or strong backs. Pulling one becomes second nature after awhile, never to be taken for granted, but easy to do.

I just bought a 33 ft 5th wheel this summer. First time having one and I love it. I too was intimidated by it but there is nothing to it. easier to hook up than a tt. Had to learn to make wide turns. It is also longer than anything I have pulled. But it doesnt take long. Go for it you will love it.

The hardest thing I have to do is back up alone. I get out of the truck and look...... a lot!!! And I'm a guy. But I'm also new to 5th wheelers. We had motor homes for 20 years and I could back my boat into the garage with the MH. You will find plenty of help at the RV parks so don't worry about it.

My wife is still intimidated by our new/old rig, but at least she's now getting used to the truck part. I've found our almost 38' Monty to be much easier to tow, hook & unhook, and set up than our old 28' TT. There's some bending and stretching, but no heavy lifting EXCEPT for the 'anaconda' power cable! I've started just dragging it into the truck bed and back to the end of the Monty to hook up (and why do they have the outlet at the back of the 5er anyway?. Someday I may figure out how to put an outlet more near the center.). Anyway, 5th wheel trailers are an awful lot easier to deal with, have a lot more storage space, and are more livable than TTs. Only downside to me is that you can't tow a car behind one.
