"Easy to tow" has many factors. Two key ones (IMO) are a properly matched tow vehicle-to-camper with a good weight distribution hitch (with sway control) and properly loaded camper with the right % of weight on the ball (normally around 15% of the camper's loaded weight). Believe it or not my 315RLTS is not hard to tow, though I always have to be aware of the length when taking a turn and I plan my stops.
After a few times practicing you'll be fine. It's like learning to ride a bike--seems very hard at first but once you "get it" it's not hard. Always use a spotter, get out and look (GOAL) and practice, practice, practice.2017 Ford F-350 DRW 6.7L Platinum

Adding to my previous post, if you haven't seen this Youtube video by the Wandering Wagners, it is very good and should help with your backing concerns.

We have just towed it from the RV store where we purchased it to our house. It towed great but it was at the UVW (5,076 lbs) + a battery and propane so the weight was not at maximum. I could hardly tell I was towing anything. We have a 2019 Ram 1500 with 5.7 Liter V-8 HEMI engine and 3.92 rear axle ratio. As far as backing it backed like any other trailer. Not difficult at all. We are looking forward to towing it with some weight to see how it goes.
Re-pack bearings necessary?
