I realize that my experience doesn't directly relate to the original question but hopefully it will be beneficial. I tow-barred my Jeep for years with our 35' Newell. After moving up to the current 45' I found that there are more situations that I need to be able to back up. I now tow an 18' Imperial open trailer. That works better for me because I am able to back up a bit when needed to fit into a tight spot. Sometimes at a truck stop backing in to a spot is the only option. By using my rear camera I can back up to the trailer hitch to hook up with no problem. There are times when the combination will not fit into an available camp-site so I unhook the trailer from the Newell and tow it with the Jeep to the designated trailer parking area.
When we are able to spend more time traveling I would like to get some kind of an enclosed trailer.
My message specifically to David and Lengki is that an important consideration is whether you are comfortable with never being able to back up. A tow bar will not allow it.
