Just a couple of criticisms;
A "gooseneck hitch" and a "fifth wheel hitch" are most certainly NOT the same thing, and the terms should NOT be used interchangeably.
While a "Weight Distributing Hitch" and "sway control" may be good ideas, they are definitely NOT "required" for towing a bumper pull trailer.
Historically, there HAS been a difference between a "travel trailer" and a "camping trailer". Generally, "Travel Trailers" are self-contained. That is, they have everything a stick built house has; a kitchen, a bathroom, a bedroom, etc. plus holding tanks for waste water and bodily waste. They may or may not have a generator.
"Camping trailers", however, usually do not have a bathroom, often do not have a bedroom, often have only a hand pump water system, usually no holding tanks, in days gone by they had propane lanterns mounted on the wall, etc.
In my life I have owned several truck campers (only one was self-contained), one "camping trailer", one "travel trailer", two Class A motorhomes, and now a Class C motorhome.
We lived for a couple years in a fifth wheel trailer. I have borrowed my neighbor's gooseneck trailer. They are NOT interchangeable!
Just one ol' man's viewpoint. You may not agree.
Such is life.
Actually, there is NO "class" associated with RV's since about 2000. The RVIA, which sets the standards for the industry, removed the "class" designation from all RV's. Now it's just "Type A", "Type B" etc.

Boils down to the same thing.
