Had a mid profile 30ft 5th wheel for 10 years. Towed fine and was easy to back into sites. Moved up to a Montana that’s 41.5ft long. Took a bit of a learning curve to figure out backing. There is a lot more trailer behind the wheels and more trailer swing. The theory behind towing and backing is the same though, regardless of length.
Towing with the right truck makes all the difference. Big difference between gas and diesel as far as mileage. Diesel will be more consistent mileage regardless of size of RV.
A smaller RV will get you access to more camping options, especially if it’s a 30amp RV.
You mentioned you don’t own a 5th wheel yet and have never towed one. What ever you get is what you’ll learn about and adapt to. Starting out too small will give you more confidence in your abilities but you’ll soon figure out you don’t like the limited space. Starting out too big will make you feel overwhelmed and possibly steer you out of RVing.
I think a newbie would be content with something around 33 to 36ft.
Anyway, JMHO
